@CWhat016 No. They're the new contractors for the US military for their M16 and M4 needs.
You see, the M16 and M4 was originally supplied by Colt. However, there was a bit of a strike. And that strike was one of the longest ever strikes. In the meantime, replacement workers were hired, and thus quality dropped badly.
The US military noticed this, and decided to find a new guy to make it, which was FN USA.
@ErvenDynamics No. While the Paternian Navy frequents the Red Sea and all ships of the class have passed through the Suez Canal at some point, pirate attacks significantly decrease in their presence, especially the Paternian cruisers.
They do their level best to avoid Paternian-flagged commercial vessels because getting your house (and every house in the village for that matter) slammed by 8" explosive shells is a singularly bad experience.
@JakeTheDogg Yes. Both the North Point and its successor, the Honolulu, could survive a blast from a 300lb underwater, even if said blast is amidships under the keel.
Also a lot of the equipment is missing because the Soviet Army plucked them off but didn't bother to fix the rest, given the speed of advance and large vehicle reserves. @PINK
It did not get special mention because of mention of a trend where the caliber of the main gun exceeds 130mm. The only nation with no plans to increase their main armament caliber is likely Paternia. Other nations are testing larger-bore cannon, but Paternia has remained with the 120mm cannon, opting to improve the 120mm design. @PINK
@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing Measured them. The M1 Garand is actually shorter than the M14. Although the M14 has a shorter barrel, it has a fairly long flash hider that makes it about two inches longer than the M1.
@ErvenDynamics North Point, and the succeeding Honolulu, never had any torpedoes.
The Paternian Navy in the 1940's did not see any reason why cruisers need such weapons. Took up space that can be devoted to other needs, and a capital ship in Paternian doctrine would employ their superior gun range to precisely strike targets at long range.
Getting a capital ship to distances where torpedoes are effective is thus a bad idea due to the fact it negates this very advantage. In a mutually destructive torpedo exchange, the loss of a cruiser would be more severe than a lighter vessel such as a destroyer, torpedo boat, or frigate.
@CWhat016 What you asked for.
@BogdanX Agreed. On ground vehicles with weapons turrets, I install the cockpit either in the gunsight or in the gun mantlet.
@CWhat016 Good idea...

@TemDesBur lol rip.
@TemDesBur It has stealth abilities between Donald Trump and Great Wall of China, from most visible to least visible.
I remember this from Smash Bros...
Nice build. However, I should note that the M8 Greyhound had an open-topped turret.
Actually, yes. You can put a .30 cal on a vehicle. Again, dependent on state laws. @RailfanEthan
@Wakescar Land of the free.
@RailfanEthan It's perfectly legal to own everything on this jeep as a civilian in America.
Closer cooperation. @Supercraft888
@PlanesOfOld Oh lol.
I think "Bat" would be pretty nice though.
As in the Bat anti-ship glide bomb. America's radar-guided Fritz-X.
@MASB29 Yes. It's in the C&C Roleplay.
@Supercraft888 You're not the only army known for edged weapons.
The Paternian Army uses machetes.
Basically, a sheet of 16 gauge steel cut into the shape of a machete, the edge sharpened, and pieces of plastic on either side to make a handle.
Works pretty well at involuntary field amputations of enemy personnel.
@Cedy117 Thanks! The Paternian Army likes the Cedco trucks a lot.
I might turn an M26 into a Vietnam-era gun truck, bristling with guns and laden with armor. Kind of like "Eve of Destruction".
Of course they're terrible off-road, but then again, they're for convoy protection on roads, so that's not an issue.
I remember this in a WoT event...
@Warbirdnation Thanks!
Nobody ever claimed it was a good tank.
Also a lot of the equipment is missing because the Soviet Army plucked them off but didn't bother to fix the rest, given the speed of advance and large vehicle reserves. @PINK
Sure! @NANOMAN
Reminds me of a particular browser...
@Dllama4 Must admit they are.
@PlanesOfOld I wouldn't exactly call the Fritz-X "useless and impractical", given that it was able to put several capital ships out of commission.
How about Fritz-X? @PlanesOfOld
XML. @Flash0of0green
Revisions to make message clearer. @PINK
Okay. @PINK

Reminds me of an older build...
It's the Avenger.
@InternationalAircraftCompany When landing, don't hold down the brakes. Simply tap it intermittently.
This is how you deal with planes which are prone to ground loops, such as the Pummeler.
Actually, I'm working on the latter. @MaximusTheMinimus
@AverroesIndustries Okay.
@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing Measured them. The M1 Garand is actually shorter than the M14. Although the M14 has a shorter barrel, it has a fairly long flash hider that makes it about two inches longer than the M1.
@Kevinairlines Would not mind.
@Kevinairlines Thanks!
I like it. Other than the lack of any integrated backup iron sights, it works fine. @Supercraft888
Thanks! @ErvenDynamics
Thanks! @AverroesIndustries
Love to see WWII bombs.
Neat. @jlewisifer
Rip PAAN.
It's a 60-ton heavy tank. @AudioDud3
@Blue0Bull I know.
It's because have tons of gun builds, and having a dark background doesn't exactly work well with modern firearms.

@ChasingHorizon Congrats on Platinum! Anyways, what do you think of North Point and her cousin Honolulu?
@Halphas Can you make this ship work? Feel free to add 40mm and 20mm AA cannon where you see fit.
@Halphas Np!
