Little OOB error in 4.5 Update

[Suhiir]

OOB #12 (US Army), Weapon #215 (SL-AMRAAM)
Warhead Size = 7
OOB #13 (USMC), Weapon #215 (SL-AMRAAM)
Warhead Size = 9

[DRG]

OOB #12 (US Army), Weapon #215 (SL-AMRAAM)
should be Warhead Size = 9

.....and it's a error NOT a "bug". "Bugs" are things that are supposed to be doing one thing but do something unexpected.

I see you corrected the posting to read "error".
Thanks !

Has this unit been adopted by Army?? Just because it is in USMC, it does not mean Army is going to?

I can't find anything to support this on web. (Kind of like the M-113A4).

I also can not find any info on the 12.5mm M2HB MCATS. Can you tell me what this is and is it actually used??

Thanks guys... Wonderful awsome job. Keep it up.

hmm - typing M113A4 into google got me this as the first or second result:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...und/m113a4.htm

and:

(No idea if this is what you are asking about, as you omitted to supply OOB and unit number, and I cannot be bothered to check 80+ OOBs to find it without that basic info)

It's a vehicle-mounted M2 heavy barrel .50-caliber machine gun. I have no info at my fingertips where the "MCATS" comes from

Found another error (not bug ) in OOB #13 (USMC).

Units #574, 575, 587, 592, 593, 594, and 904 - all F-35's have a value of 14 for "Range Finder".
From my understanding this has no effect on aircraft (other then to increase the unit purchase cost) and no aircraft needs, or should have a value here.

Actually #576 - the level bomber version - does not. Bombs dont use range finders. Bombers do not need range finders or vision - they simply go to x,y and offload.

The other ones are fighter-bombers, and do find range finders rather useful for firing their direct-fire weapons, such as cannons, missiles, rockets etc. Just like they find thier thermal vision useful for actually seeing thier direct fire targets.

As Andy says, this only applies to level bomber classes. It's OK for fighter bombers
