Cool! Did you know it was the only Swedish-designed warplane to actually shoot at something in war? In the 1960's, five aircraft were deployed in Congo during the Katanga Secession crisis in support of UN peacekeeping operations. As there were few aerial threats, the jets were used mostly for ground attack. In this role they proved successful. One aircraft was lost in an accident, and the remaining four were scrapped when the crisis was over, since Sweden didn't want to pay for the cost of shipping back obsolete aircraft surplus to requirements.
I have found cooperation with Awwam to be the best course of action. Both of us have agreed that a war between each other to be a futile effort where nothing is gained but bodies and tears. @PINK
@YuukaNeko All our military rifles and shotguns must retain the ability to mount a bayonet, although submachine guns are exempt in order to allow for a shorter barrel. Soldiers issued with these weapons are still issued bayonets, as the Paternian bayonet is a multi-purpose tool that is also a wire cutter (with scabbard), utility knife, and fighting knife, and issuing a separate knife to do the same thing would be nonsensical.
The bayonet is a potent psychological weapon, and bayonet charges are a regular maneuver in Paternian Army service, alongside more modern fire and maneuver tactics, usually when a unit must quickly cross open ground of short distance under hostile fire. Although not as important as it was several centuries ago, the bayonet is still relevant enough that it be included.
Because nobody questions the psychological effects of a company of soldiers running at you with long, pointy things and an expressed intent to jam it through your ribcage.
Awesome plane! A great counterpart to the Pummeler!
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any hope of export success because we have just flooded the market with A-9B Angels and A-1I/K Pummelers on the order of 61,000 machines, in addition to the 140,000 aircraft already made. And although this aircraft may be better and this is as cheap as dirt, the Pummeler on the surplus market is much cheaper than dirt.
Don't blame me. Awwam wanted 50,000 machines, and Auruna wanted an additional 11,000 machines. And so we sold it to them at the low price of $200K. And made at least 10 trillion dollars off of it.
@YuukaNeko I think you're the go-to gunsmith of SP.
@Anubis1021 No problem.

It could use some refinement, yes. But it is a truly unique machine, an ingenious creation.
@GoldenEagle @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @PINK
@DankDorito Not illogical. Its impractical.
@DankDorito I stand corrected.
Twin-mount 105mm cannons.
You probably know what I'm going to say about this.
@PyrusEnderhunter A whole ton of countries.
The description was written when the RP timeline took place in 2090.
@DankDorito Here it is. Indian Army M5 Victoria.
Twin-mount 120mm cannons.
You probably know what I'm going to say about this. @DankDorito
@DankDorito A-1II Pummeler.
I have found cooperation with Awwam to be the best course of action. Both of us have agreed that a war between each other to be a futile effort where nothing is gained but bodies and tears. @PINK
Thanks! The Paternian Army still uses it because we found it comparable in performance to stuff like the P90 and the MP7. @YuukaNeko
Nice! @RAF1
Looks good!
Now all I need is a Hetzer and Maus. I know there's Hetzers, so we need a good Maus build.

@YuukaNeko "Bae."
Bae.
sigh
Thanks anyways!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation The whole Korean Peninsula is blockaded by the Paternian Navy.
Sure! @GrimMantis
@Liquidfox Thanks!
@frostbite Thanks!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Paternian Army has crushed remainder of Chinese Navy.
Occupying Hainan Island and launching attacks in support of amphibious invasion.
@frostbite
@frostbite Got that covered.
@Boots I don't.
I put it in after.
@frostbite
@frostbite We have plenty of jet fighters.
@DankDorito I have A-1I variant of Pummeler on my files.
Gotta wait though because lol 3 plane limit.
@YuukaNeko
@TheBigEgg Thanks!

@GoldenEagle More M16's!
@JakeTheDogg
@ElGatoVolador
Performance. @Qwertybattle
APC costs more to run and procure than modifying a civilian bulldozer for our purposes.
Other armies do this, notably Israel. @PINK
Is good investment for business. You'll be selling them in the hundreds.
Mostly because he will get them destroyed by the hundreds and need that much just to replenish losses. @GoblinDynamics
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @GoldenEagle @DankDorito
@sheepsblood Thanks!
I would like your word on my F-7E Viper. @Qwertybattle
"I HATE THE M26!"
I suppose the "Murcia" look isn't for you.
Because the M26 would be the basis which the entire Patton line would descend from.
allah akbar lol
Yes. So it shall remain. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I suppose. My tanks are based off of Western designs such as the American-made Patton series and the British Challenger II. @EternalDarkness
No problem! I can see very heavy Soviet influence in the design. @EternalDarkness
Nice! @Qwertybattle
0.71 inches, or 18mm. It's actually realistic. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Bullet diameter = Caliber. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Comes out to .71 caliber, which is 0.71 of an inch. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Looks good!
That's actually pretty average for a military musket. 71 calibers. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
