No, it's the Purpelian Roundel. Basically Purple is the national color as well as the color of the House of Felixii, the current ruling house. And gold is the color of the House of Windir, the designers of the tank. Aircraft for example use a different color here because they are usually built by another noble house. Red is the color representing the armed forces. Civilian designs would use a different color there.

The joys of having a 21st century Feudal Monarchy...
You should see the mess I have when it comes to divisional markings.
Plus, my army uses a French Style deck of cards marking to designate which platoon within a company a tank belongs to. And each division has it's own take on how these should look.
Oh, and all my tank crews are female so expect to find stuff in there that might surprise you.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Bumping this post because I'm still not sure.

Also, Purpelia, you mentioned wanting white-wood-furnished AKs a while back, so I did one.

Purpelian culture is based very loosely on what Germanic/Celtic culture would have become without Rome. And so patriarchy was newer really a Purpelian thing. (Celtic society was for example known to have gender equality) Men tended to go to war more because in the days of yore they were the more testosterone beefed up gender. And going out there to stick someone with a spear just appealed better to them than to girls. But even as early as the formation of Purpelia there have been female troops and even all female units. Especially in the ranks of those services that do not rely heavily on physical strength like artillery.

Fast forward to the 19th century. Automobiles in general really newer took off in Purpelia. Even today only one in several families has or wants a car. People just preferred trains and river traffic. And during WW1 there was barely a Purpelian who could drive. As the war took off men, always eager to walk out and stick someone on a spear (that just happened to have a rifle attached) volunteered en mass for the infantry. But as the war grew someone was needed to ferry supplies to the front and run society at home. And that someone ended up being the girls. While a lot of that was done on horseback a lot was done via trucks, agricultural tractors and trains as well. Fast forward to 1917 and the first tanks. Suddenly females are the single largest available set of skilled drivers and mechanics out there. And the rest is history.

Funny, that in my country women are only allowed to serve frontline duty as vehicle crews since 1924.And they tend to do justice, as women are more able to concentrate simultaneously, both on the target and own vehicle and being smaller framed helps too.

Must be very subjective then,or take a bit of getting used to. I only tried it out for like 5 mins and it was terrible. But a sleek rifle is always better to carry around even if there is no difference during shooting.

There was nothing stopping the women from joining the infantry earlier thou. Nor is there anything stopping men from joining the tank forces. The tanks are built for female frames thou so that is a factor. But overall it's just a matter of tradition. Purpelian infantry are full of girls these days.

Sounds like a good pistol 10mm A. is a good round,although how do you manage to tame the recoil of the 3-round burst? 3x10mm at 900 rpm is likely to send one asswards. Well maybe not literrally like the .700WTF, but it must have lolhuge recoil that trows the whole thing off.

THe F2000 as far as I know has only one real issue and that;'s it's ejection system is a little wired and jams more than it should but it's not that bad It's a great weapon but lacks the glorious of the AK (and my soon to come AKBR)

??? Not besides the f2000. You should first decide on the era. Consider a more modern subgun like the trusty MP5 the specifically MP5-10 variant that the FBI uses for additional 10mm Auto glory,the MTAR-9mm or the new Sig MPX in.357 sig.
