Errors in the UK OOB.

There's other stuff, or so I belive (No FRES?, No Recce Aircraft? No Sheilder!! the one I particly proud of...). My old OOB is still kicking around on the Yahoo mailing list. I belive it's a better rendition, It also has dedicated Icons for most of the vehicles.

Hey, L, stop complaining!

Dintcha think we should have a wee bit more of a discussion on this subject before stuffing on-map minespreaders every old where?
Your Shielder is a nasty devious pet, and there are scores of similar things to do, but it wasn't meant to be implemented in the first case!
Recce aircraft are good though, and I think I found some hanging around in original oobs. Probably some were just forgotten. That is patch purpose.

Oh, and you got ANYTHING saying the FRES will ever come into service? Not better check the TRACER for one thing?

I'm quoting the article you sent me about this one:

"Vickers believe it could prove a tremendous asset;"

Believe you me, when a firm says such things about a private venture project, it just means they have no client yet and are begging for a contract. Hence the advertising!

But I agree most of your work is of common interest.
I guess the Team were too busy these times to file through the SPMBT files archives...

Yeah It's coming, TCH's Future Armed Services plan makes it inevitable (As well as butchering the UK armed forces at Mr Brown's Orders) that we'll get it.

If you look for the ACAVP, they've got the test bed up and running, QinetiQ Are saying it's going to happen as is the Company designing it, Atkins.

And based on what I've read it is possible. Using the ACAVP as a base, it meets the required specs, and that's with huge great big Fox turret slapped on top of it. The only part of it I'm not so sure about is the AT version with an ATG. The Recoil is just going to be to huge for the chassis and turret ring to take. You've expressed those doubts as well.

Sheilder dosen't do that much damage, it's just very, very annoying. Sort of like a huge spanner to be projected into the enemies battle palns.

Agreed on the Dutch Leopard 2s. There are two other things that are bothering me at first glance:

- The Leopard 2A5 has an L55 gun, while in reality it still had the L44. The longer L55 was only implemented on the 2A6.
- The Dutch will buy F-35 JSF STOL fighters, so they should be in the Dutch obat after about 2014.
