Grunder Discussion Thread [CLOSED GRUNDER ONLY]

[Glacios]

This is for us to discuss things so we dont clog up the thread.

Alrighty then. On the Grunder main page I'll make sure to update it, and when we're ready I can start selling stuff.

Here is some data on sub size
The U.S. Navy has two principal classes of submarines: attack submarines and fleet ballistic missile submarines. Attack submarines, which seek out and attack enemy ships and submarines, are smaller and faster than missile submarines. Most U.S. fast attack submarines are of the USS Los Angeles class. They are 362 feet long-just longer than the length of a football field-and 33 feet wide. They displace almost 6,900 tons on the surface and 7,200 tons when they are submerged. U.S. fleet ballistic missile submarines of the USS Ohio class (a.k.a., Trident submarines, referring to the type of missile which they carry) are 560 feet long (almost the length of two football fields, a few feet longer than the Washington Monument). They have a beam of 42 feet and displace almost 17,000 tons on the surface and 18,750 tons when submerged.

CFA-44 Nosferatu

A pre-production CFA-44 prototype opens it's airbrake

So, this'll be our first plane on sale. IC, it's ready for mass production and service. Remember, it's a carrier-based aircraft so you can give it to your navies. I'll make a more detailed post in the main page if needed

CEO of Hunars Co.,
James Haveir.

Bio:
At the age of 21, James founded Hunars Co. as a domestic aircraft producing company. Only a few years in, James reinvented Hunars Co. and transformed it into the military's source of airpower. To this day, Hunars Co. is the largest military-aircraft producing company. After hearing of the idea of Gründer Industries, Jams rushed to be a part of the new multi-national company. And now, here he is, a rich, well established man who worked from the top and earned his fortune. He holds a share of around 9% of Gründer Industries.

Started as an engineer with Sasekawa Heavy Industries. He helped design the FAPAF's variant of the F-4 Phantom II. He later rose to a management position, and is now the manager of the experimental technologies division of Sasekawa alongside Chief Engineer Nanasawa Himeko.

The FAP is one of the original original founders of Grunder, one of the first three (alongside Esgonia and Ratte). Sasekawa as a company owns 12% of the stock in Grunder. Sasekawa manufactures Radar Systems, Engines, Flight Computers, Fire control systems, Displays, Instrumentation, Cameras, Fly-by-wire systems, Cockpit controls, and other major electronics systems. They also lead in experimental electro-kinetics, especially the genetic modification and experimental electro-optical field technology sub groups.

Gu-51 Nosferatu

A pre-production Gu-51 prototype opens it's airbrake

The Grunder Gu-51 is a 5.5 generation carrier-based, twin-engine, air superiority stealth fighter. It was first developed in response to an Esgonian Air Force need for a new 5th generation fighter aircraft. Prototypes were produced by Albrita Arms, but the type was not accepted into standard use. The prototypes were placed into storage for an indeterminate period of time. During the Azenyanistani Genocide, the forces of SARA encountered well equipped rebel forces, who operated F-22A fighter aircraft. SARA aircraft could barely compete with their combat ability, and victory was only won through numerical superiority. After this near-fiasco the FAP Air Force expressed a need for a generation 5 or above aircraft in order to maintain air superiority. They were later joined in their search for new aircraft by the FAP Navy, who was looking for a fighter aircraft of their own to equip their aircraft carriers. Eventually, the acquisitions department found the ADFX-01 and Gu-51, and both services expressed interest in the aircraft. The FAP Navy in particular was interested in the Gu-51 for it's carrier operations capability. After striking a deal with the Esgonian government to acquire some aircraft, it became known that the Esgonians, too, were looking for next-generation fighter aircraft. Several other nations, including the Western Pacific Territories, Ratte, and the Federation of Democratic Regions, also expressed interest in developing their own variants. It was decided to set up a multinational corporation to develop and mass-produce the fighters and other next-generation technology. This company was named Grunder Industries, and it was formed from several existing defense firms from each participating nation. The Gu-51 was one of the first aircraft to be produced by Grunder, alongside the ADFX-01 and the RF-38, alongside existing fighter designs that were still in production. The first nation to purchase and operate the Gu-51 was the FAPN, who acquired 96 aircraft.

F-35 costs 116 and that seems to be superior. Please increase price.

The F-35 was the result of shitty management. It costs that much because Lockheed can't get it's shit together. But if you insist, I'll make the price 130 million.

i switched over to Deichmann Defense instead of Pretzen arms for now as they seem more suitable for Jet Development

CEO of Deichmann Defense
George Schimpf

Grandson to the original founder of Deichmann Defense, George inherited the company from his father at the age of 22.

So, am I a part of this?

Have you started selling things yet? If you plan on making our own marketplace, wait until we have a wider selection of things to sell. If you really want to do something, get to selling the Gu-51 on your existing storefront.

[Esgonia]

I vote Grunder starts manufacturing Kongo class and Atago subclass Guided Missile Destroyers. Who's with me?

I second it, as I have both ships on my Navy.

so i guess that now mean Grunder is producing Naval vessels and more now
