I think I've said this before, but we are living through a real-life T2K scenario. I foresee the "bump in the road" to be about 2025-2030. If we make it through then, we have a bright future as a species. If we don't, well, we won't be the first species to go extinct; we'll just take the ecosystem with us. The ecosystem will regenerate and continue, and possibly generate a new intelligent species.

It's impractical, unfortunately, to advance the timeline this far.

mpipes, you've inspired me to create my own narrative timeline of weapons adoptions for Germany and the UK for the v1.0 timeline.

Apparently, during the 1950s and '60s, the Germans acquired a DMR version of the FN FAL known as the FN FAL G1 Sniper. Not many were produced, but it would be an interesting find. It's got wooden furniture and a telescopic sight.

That and a T48 U.S. FAL.

Interesting. It doesn't look like any went into service, though. The blurb I read on the FN FAL G1 Sniper suggested that a few did.

It would make an interesting retro build in Real Life, and In Game.

First of all, the L1A1 aka SLR should always be referred to as "THAT Rifle" (ask any Old & Bold Squaddie).......

Mpipes can you PM me, I have been dying to do a build of THAT Rifle.

Default Panzerfaust 3

Although 4e rectified this oversight, I'm not sure why the Panzerfaust 3 didn't make it into the v1-2.2 weapons manuals (especially the latter, as it entered service in 1987, well before publication). This is definitely a weapon system that would have been fielded in time for the start of the Twilight War.

Default Ikander Decoys

We now KNOW that the Ikander short-range ballistic missile has 6 decoys embedded in its tail section.

Default 76mm Cannon

We need to stat both the Russian 76mm and the NATO/Western 76mm (OTO Melara) cannon. In addition to EVERY small naval surface combatant using them, they do appear on a couple of AFVs.

Using FF&S:

OTO Melara 76mm - weapon weight 7.5 tonnes - remotely operated
HE - Rng 450, Dam C: 10, B: 22, Pen 4C
DART - Rng 450, Dam 17, Pen 32/27/23/15

TSNII Burevestnik AK-176 76mm - weapon weight 16.8 tonnes original, 9 tonnes newest version - crew 2 to 4
HE - Rng 430, Dam C: 9, B: 21, Pen 4C
KE - Rng 430, Dam 17, Pen 26/23/19/13

Both have fire rates of 120 rpm, although the AK-176 has to cool for half an hour after firing 75 rounds at that rate.
