Re: APC Development and related topics.
Some things I hope to accomplish for the next patch in this area. Some I've been tracking for awhile now...
Denmark: The most ambitious APC competition has just ended along the anticipated result of tracked versus wheeled based on how the competition was setup.

But just hot off the presses...

INDONESIA: Now for something a little different on a very versatile platform that has performed better than oridginally thought.

RUSSIA: Unless we give defensive points on vehicles for engine location  , I can't justify the slot being wasted on the next. The only other change is rear access for the troops compared to the "base" unit mentioned we got in the game about 3 years ago now.

JAPAN: They are getting ready for a major upgrade to their AAV's.

USA: An interesting change in philosophy but, one I can understand given they'll be around for quite some time.

We've gone around the world so this should be good for now. Have a great night/or day!
Regards,
Pat
