Project 1000

Description: Project to re-chamber Existing stocks of MG2A1, MG5A1 and MG6A1 (various versions of FN MAG) to .338 Lapua Magnum. Lessons learned show that in High-altitude fighting the need for long-ranged weapons are all-important. This will be a cheap way to somewhat counter the problem, and also give an edge to Indian units versus potential enemies who relay on calibers with less range.

Timeframe: R&D complete within one year, in 2011.

Porssche, can you add stats for things like the Arjun Mk 3, please?

Also, while I don't really care about R&D costs (so long as it's reasonable that your country is working on a project), many of your costs are far too low. Either raise them significantly, or just omit them, please.

I will simply omit them then. What kind of stats do you want? Lenght and such things or something else?

Yeah. Anything you can tell us about the tank. The main points for me would be:
  • Armament
  • Armor
  • Active defenses (anti-missile systems, anti-mine systems, etc)
  • Crew
  • Speed
  • Range

Dimensions and weight are good, mainly when you're trying to figure out if you can carry the things in some aircraft. Any other notes are good, too: Does it have and special upsides or downsides? Can it fire on the run? Does it have a water boiler for tea inside?
