OOB 30 Canada

[Cameronius]

True, Hadn't thought of that!

[DRG]

The reason there is an assault boat in unit slot 246 is because the game EXPECTS to find an assault boat in slot 246 in EVERY OOB and for years there had been a FOO in the Canadian OOB in that slot. I guess NOBODY ever tried a river assault with that OOB otherwise I would have heard about all the FOOS that were generated on the map instead of assault boats. I fixed that old error and forgot to fix the FOO formation. S**T happens.

The 3.5 patch was issued, probably too quickly, to tie up loose ends because I didn't want to leave things like not being able to delete core formations from campaigns unfixed and there were a lot of OOB errors in 3.0 that I thought should have been fixed but really this all should have waited until after the summer because quite frankly both Andy and I are somewhat way beyond fed up with the game ATM so best balance what was accomplished with 3.5 with what would have been left undone if we hadn't issued 3.5. Sometime in the fall we'll probably look at this. In the mean time I would suggest opening up MOBHack and fixing it yourself. There are degrees of what a "serious error " is and I can assure you that this is not a "serious" error

Greetings gentlemen,
Before you quit with the Canadian OOB, read this. This will make Canada more interesting for tank battles!

Canada Acquires 120 Leopard 2 Tanks from German, Dutch Surplus
The Canadian Army is acquiring 100 Leopard II tanks, to be delivered from Dutch and Dutch army surplus. The purchase is a change of direction for the army and in particular for Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier, who only a few years ago described the Leopard tanks as "millstone around the neck" of the Canadian forces. The Canadians realized the importance of main battle tanks in recent months, as tanks were rushed in to Afghanistan to support the Canadian contingent stationed at Kandahar. As the new tanks are inducted by the Army, the Leopard 1C2 tanks currently deployed in Afghanistan are expected to be retired from service.

At the time of release I had not heard anything official as to whether they will actually be named "C3" but it seems the logical choice .
