To be honest I am happy with any procurement outcome simply because I'm not worrying about min-maxing, and a bunch of attackers is fine by me, oh and the frogplane

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


Yeah we'll never be able to buy a carrier group.

There's always the slimmest chance we can become some of the most successful pirates in history, however...

The Atlantique has at least enough personality to match them. Come on - what says mercenaries like a 1960s French propellor plane from a defunct manufacturer? Awesome.

Also, we can use it to teach bote crew the error of its ways.

This is a world where Apple Computer just bought a Zumwalt. That company has ~240 BB USD in 2017. For the past 6 years, their average net income has been sufficient to fully fund the USMC. We may not be able to buy a battlegroup, but they sure as hell could, and who would they hire to fly the planes if not the world's greatest for-hire air arm?

Since we're done with procurement, can I make a formal request to you all/Yooper to retire the Sk60s? We've been talking about it as a Thing that needs to be done but I'm worried it'll be forgotten again if we don't do it, and as we've discussed they've long since outstayed their welcome.

Currently I just want to be in the CAS plane that drops the most ordinance. Right now that would have been a Greek F-16 I think. I can wait though, whatever happens I'm thinking of writing an in-character piece about it.

Now would be the time you guys could suggest selling stuff.

Our low volume planes are the AMX's, SK60B's and Mirages.

Well when you put it like that...

I put forth the motion to sell off our Sk60Bs. They're seriously no longer worth keeping around in the slightest, are more liabilities than assets in the air, and are a headache for our mission planners to try and involve in a token effort to keep them relevant.

There's a whole bunch of places I took the pixel planes from, bunch of deviantart accounts and digging around in the shipbucket forum. If you search for planebucket on deviantart, you'll eventually find them but it'd be easier to just take them from that picture to be honest.

Again, can we work out something like retiring them to a museum/display squadron instead of selling them off? Definitely want to get rid of them, but drat it if I want to hang onto a little piece of their story.

I'm assuming that that will be part of the process of selling them off narratively, but right now I'm more concerned about the mechanical action of "selling" the planes.

We can totally say that when we "sell" them they become part of a display squadron or something but for the love of loving god let's resolve to get rid of these things before we worry about the fine details.

I'd rather transfer them to their own group operated by HR, akin to Bacarruda's suggestion.

Okay, yeah, mechanically remove them from our OOB.

Anyways, in honor of the winners of the procurement vote...

Don't give me a striker Tornado,
For the wing roots are made out of Play Doh
And when Storm Shadows fly
Over SAMs, I could cry,
Don't give me a striker Tornado!

Don't give me a Viper Hellenic,
So fat that it's prediabetic,
It's hard to dodge flak
With the dead weight in back,
Don't​ give me a Viper Hellenic!
