You ordered them last year? I guess everything ought to be ready by end of this game year, with the Formidables come out by now.

Well, I only ordered two F100s and relatively tiny numbers of LAV-25s and PzH 2000s (60 and 32, respectively).

Ok, technically all of them can be built at once, so you could technically take the whole lot back now.
If you want license sure.. just put down a reasonable number like.. I guess 400,000 per MOWAG and maybe 800,000 for the PHz 2000? I'm not sure about the prices, but they are defintely around the ball park of 5million or less.

On Ryan's airmobile artillery idea: it's at least feasible
Take note, though, that you will have to compromise on something. A towed 105mm howitzer weighs something in the vicinity of 2 tonnes. The M119 howitzer is air transportable by a UH-60 helicopter with a basic load of ammunition, but it obviously can't fire from the helicopter. So you have to fit the gun, the traverse mechanism, ammunition, breechlock and kickback dampening systems within four tonnes or so if you want to use a helicopter like the Blackhawk, or use a very heavy platform like the CH-47. Or use a lighter gun.

The other obvious choice is a R-1 Habu. It'd have to be backconverted from the F-12D, but it would benefit from all the improvements done to the F-12.

Ryan and I never really discussed the specifics of the craft, but I've been treating it as an SR-71 with better onboard computers, all-modern avionics and sensors, some fancy composites to reduce weight and consequently a minor increase in its top speed, and an internal fuselage bay capable of holding three AA missiles.PeZook wrote:How does the Spectre compare to the SR-71?
