Whatismoo

Report from Lt. Col. [REDACTED] People's Auditory Forces Directorate of Political-Moral Reliability, Auditory and Political Officer for SNVZ and Military-Industry Liaison Officer for RFP "New Battle Tank"
 
Today, exaltedly equal comrades of multitudinous genders, or none at all, I have wonderful news! We will be discussing the ammunition and developmental armor schemes for the SNVZ AFV-50 project. First the ammunition types. 
 
 
High Explosive-Fin Stabilized The primary general purpose support round for the vehicle, equipped with a standard and super quick fuse setting M/V in excess of 500m/s 6.32kg of TNTe filler High Explosive-Fin Stabilized-Urban A “supercharged” HE-FS round designed for short range demolition work 19.88kg TNTe filler Armor Piercing Capped Ballistic Capped-Fin Stabilized The Primary Anti-Armor kinetic energy round Using highly energetic bursting materials, we have achieved devastating beyond armor effects Meets or exceed armor penetration requirements Armor Piercing High Explosive-Fin Stabilized Base Bleed A long range anti-armor round Base bleed reduces drag (and thetan level) throughout the projectile’s flight to ensure optimal retention of auditory capacity. [AUDITED] [AUDITED] [AUDITED] [AUDITED] Chemical Effects-Anti Tank An anti-tank projectile which generates its armor penetrating effects from chemical energy (explosives) within the round Multi Chemical Effects Shell A heavy chemical effects shell with improved explosive qualities at the expense of range and velocity to improve the numbers of use cases.  
 
These shell types will allow the AFV-50 to engage and defeat all known and planned enemy combat vehicles should they foolishly decide to attack the peace loving peoples’ republic. They are effective at all combat ranges, allowing the gun tank to decisively deconstruct aggressions, micro and macro, and fulfill its combat tasks.
 
 
 
Secondly for today, the SNVZ collective would like to discuss the early development of our armor schemes. While it is a capital offense to shame for weight, it is important to note that later design iterations have exceeded initial goals. Truly SNVZ and the AFV-50 program have been blessed with the bounty of L Ron Hubbard Thought and it is important to recognize that our vehicle is healthy at any size.
 
Recognizing the threat posed by CE warheads, the design team initially investigated the use of large volumes of Glass Textolite, alongside steel. (Fig.1) Unfortunately the thicknesses required were rather extreme, and resulted in deep inefficiencies. 
 
 
Fig.1
 
To compensate for these deficiencies the ratio of steel to textolite was increased, however this also increased the weight. The integration of layers of ceramic and High-Hardness Steel was investigated, however the density/areal density of these packages was deeply unsatisfactory. (Fig.2)
 
 
Fig.2
 
 
At this time the collective investigated various arrangements of so called “Special” or “Composite” armor arrays. They were found unappealing due to the large volumes needed to contain them, and the angles required for best performance. (Figs. 3, 4, and 5)
 
Fig.3
 
Fig.4
Fig.5
 
 
At this time it is unclear what growth potential the Cascadian tandem-HEAT warhead may have, and/or the Mormohideen 2”/4”. These high lethality threat systems may not be able to be defeated without elaborate and economically infeasible exotic armor schemes, in the view of the SNVZ design collective. At this time the SNVZ collective is pursuing further armor concept development, but it appears that the weight and size of tanks must increase drastically before adequate levels of protection are possible. Therefore it appears that the medium tank as it is known, cannot be survivable on the modern battlefield.
 
The Cascadian introduction and adoption of the <<Norman>> series appears in hindsight to be a drastic misstep. The current service variation (NORMAN-A) appears to utilize conventional steel armor materials in a relatively novel layout. However, this is hopelessly outclassed by modern tandem charge CE technology. The Cascadians appear mindless stooges of chauvinist revanchism and warmongering, however despite their perfidy, they are not stupid. They are likely to be investigating the potential for equipping a derivative of NORMAN-A with exotic “special” or “composite” armor systems. They are fools for doing so! To defeat modern tandem-shaped charges would require far too much volume and weight of armor to fit in a traditional “medium” size tank. But the Cascadian dogs have made their bed, and so they shall sleep in it. They may as well have introduced the kite shields and chainmail of its namesake, for the good it will do them. In the modern threat environment, where tandem charge ATGMs outrange the ability of armor to detect and engage them prior to, or even after, launch, the Medium Tank is dead!
 
For this reason, the SNVZ AFV-50 designs have blossomed through the iterative process, between 20 and 25% over the initial predictions. Fortunately there is historical precedent for such a matter. Ancient pre-war historical texts speak of a mightily effective Main-Battle Tank, the first of its kind. During the Second Great War it was created, and grew through its design process it grew to just over 1.25x the initial design goal. The Tank Struggle Vehicle Mark 5, or “Panther”, was widely regarded by the ancient sages of the “AxisHistory” forum as the best tank of this second of the great wars, with armor, mobility, and firepower an order of magnitude above the delicate, vulnerable, underarmed and expensive Medium tank M4 "Ronson". Clearly in light of this the weight gain of the AFV-50 is not of much relevance. Collective efforts of SNVZ to improve armor protection continue, and appear to be reaching some success. The DPRC, guardians of the people and L. Ron Hubbard Thought, as well as our most eminent and wise leadership, the most Gracious and Serene Majesty Queen Diane Feinstein the VIII, require cheap winners, like the TSV Mk.5 "Panther" of old, rather than "expensive losers" like the "NORMAN" or "Ronson"! On this matter, I assure you that the shock-engineers of SNVZ will deliver!

Four others and I have joined together in the spirit of collective labor to form the SierraNevadaVagonzavod, a collective design bureau. We are currently investigating vehicles under the program designation AFV-50 (Armored Fighting Vehicle 2250).
 
AFV-50 will be equipped with a powerful smoothbore gun of greater than 100mm bore and over 35 calibers in length. It will be equipped with sufficiently tailored ammunition to auditorily correct the political and moral failings of our northern and western neighbors.
 
The collective has determined that an automatic loading mechanism will allow all crew personnel to express their individual strengths, political, moral, physical, emotional, spiritual, and otherwise, towards the collective goal most equally. We believe that the performance should far exceed the requirements as posed in the RFP, a feat only achieved through intense study of the works of Comrade Hubbard, Praise be upon them, may their everlasting name be sung eternally from the peoples’ lips, and signed from their hands.
 
Always on our guard, the Shock-Workers of the SNVZ have designed an armoring scheme which will be equipped to resist all potential and future threats to our peaceful way of existence from all angles. Should the Cascadian Warmongers and their Feudal religious zealot accomplices dare to follow through their bellicose rhetoric, the AFV-50 will be able to resist all aggression, macro and micro, from all current and prospective threat systems. However! The design collective has always taken to heart the words of Comrade Feinstein the 5th:
 
The greatest weapon in the arsenal of the DPRC is not our guns or bombs, but L Ron Hubbard Thought.
 
This is the true armor which protects our people and way of life. It is the design collective’s hope that our armor design may in the balance be worthy of utterance in the same sentence as the name of the Great Prophet Hubbard, Praise be upon them, may their everlasting name be sung eternally from the peoples’ lips, and signed from their hands.

Should the Cascadian Warmongers and their Feudal religious zealot accomplices dare to follow through their bellicose rhetoric, the AFV-50 will be able to resist all aggression, macro and micro, from all current and prospective threat systems. However! The design collective has always taken to heart the words of Comrade Feinstein the 5th:
 
The greatest weapon in the arsenal of the DPRC is not our guns or bombs, but L Ron Hubbard Thought.
 
This is the true armor which protects our people and way of life. It is the design collective’s hope that our armor design may in the balance be worthy of utterance in the same sentence as the name of the Great Prophet Hubbard, Praise be upon them, may their everlasting name be sung eternally from the peoples’ lips, and signed from their hands.

Four others and I have joined together in the spirit of collective labor to form the SierraNevadaVagonzavod, a collective design bureau. We are currently investigating vehicles under the program designation AFV-50 (Armored Fighting Vehicle 2250).
 
AFV-50 will be equipped with a powerful smoothbore gun of greater than 100mm bore and over 35 calibers in length. It will be equipped with sufficiently tailored ammunition to auditorily correct the political and moral failings of our northern and western neighbors.
 
The collective has determined that an automatic loading mechanism will allow all crew personnel to express their individual strengths, political, moral, physical, emotional, spiritual, and otherwise, towards the collective goal most equally. We believe that the performance should far exceed the requirements as posed in the RFP, a feat only achieved through intense study of the works of Comrade Hubbard, Praise be upon them, may their everlasting name be sung eternally from the peoples’ lips, and signed from their hands.

Howdy doody folks. I'm not an engineer, but I do do a lot of open source research and I stumbled across something that looks to circumstantially confirm a suspicion I've had for a while.
 
It all started with an image, Fig. 1. I came across it googling stuff about the AFTI/F-16. Squint reading lead me to believe it was describing how the F-35's flight control systems descend from AFTI/F-16's. But it was stuck behind a paywall. So I did some more digging...

Lockmart came to the rescue, hosting the document for free, for some reason. https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/eo/documents/webt/F-35_Air_Vehicle_Technology_Overview.pdf
 
Here's the image in a size you can read: 

Now, why is this interesting. After a quick skim it occurred to me that the description was of all the infrastructure to take advantage of a DFCS, excepting the computer inputs. There was no substantial mention of AFTI/F-16's DFCS in the paper, which seemed a little weird because that's what it's known for.
 
So, this leads me to a circumstantial conclusion: The F-35 is quite possibly either already, or may potentially be capable of functioning with decoupled flight controls. What's that mean? I'll let NASA explain.

Wow guys, everything I say is wrong and low energy and sad, and I didn't realize that saying such idiotic nonsense would win me an invitation to a Brett Kavanaugh style frathouse rape party.  I will try to do better in the future, and back up my statements with reasoned arguments from primary sources instead of making up on-the-fly ad-hoc nonsense and rationalizations.

Also, I promise to throw away my Kancolle IJN Yamato fuck pillow.  I guess... I've realized I need to grow up.  I don't need that anymore.
