However PCs could end up finding ISO containers full of fresh high tech weapons delivered before TDM. A truck in the woods full of Javelins could change the local balance of power or be a MacGuffin the PCs are sent to retrieve or investigate. That container wasn't going to tilt the balance of the war but in the post-TDM environment would be pretty valuable. |

I would like to add my thoughts.
Yes, you can ramp up production, but to do so, you need the resources (metal, computer chips etc) and of course the technicians and machinery to build the missiles. Considering that you are at a high state of stress (war has broken out between two nuclear powers) I think that there would be a problem acquiring the necessary resources. After all, if one side suspects or knows that you will supply the enemy what is going to stop him from meddling with your production? And that can range from asking people who sympathize with you staging protests like blockading lorries etc, sending sabotage troops up to sinking ships that carry those missiles. I dont remember, but is ist possible to fire SAMs from submarines to hit a plane at standard flight height? And another thought: What is the production time difference between a normal missile (TOW 1) to the most advanced form (TOW 2A)? And what is the difference in resources? Example: What if you can produce 2 TOW1 in the same time you produce 1 TOW-2A? And what if you need the resources for 1,5 TOW1 to build 1 TOW-2A? That should be taken into account too. |

While this is interesting, youre forgetting one possible variable here. That is (using your example) if the manufacturer is building TOW-2As. Is the manufacturer still capable of making TOW-1 (ie are the components still available to manufacture it.)? The manufacturer and its suppliers may have moved on and no longer making a key component(s) for the TOW-1.

Why still produce an outdated missile? The answer:Maybe you want the country you support not have the latest technology (maybe you dont trust them or have another problem with them) and maybe you dont want your latest technology fall into the hands of the enemy so that he can copy your technology which means that he catches up with you technology-wise and if there is a war between you then you will have more casualties. |
