Save yourself a lot of typing or do a bit of investigation before making change suggestions like this. There are limits on unit names so NONE of this is really usable

The one above becomes

S-70A-9 Black H

In game reality what was there is more generally useable to a non-detail fetish player which is why "S-70 Blackhawk" was used.... it tells a player what it is and most importantly..... IT FITS the game name restrictions

VERY few players care that it is an A-9. It's fiddly rivet counting. S-70 Black Hawk with the name split into two words fits though but "UH-60M Black Hawk" does NOT fit the game format either and becomes UH-60M Black Ha when entered and dropping the M does not help

What was there was there because it worked when Black Hawk is Blackhawk and why the Black Hawks in the US OOB are Blackhawk

Don,
Sorry didn't know about name restrictions in place.

As you know I'm about national nomenclature where possible as it's easy to track upgrades for a particular OOB as they are published.

But again, wasn't aware of name restrictions.

Just got home and turned on the TV and saw a video of Ukrainian troops withdrawing from Avanika in M-113's (Dutch ones.) and noted along both sides modified "SLAT" armor in that the mesh over the slats were of tighter "weave" then found on a chain link fence and sturdier as well. The same was mounted about 1 foot over the width and length of the roof line up to the hatch at least.

Would assume this would be true for most of the rest as well.

Regards,
Pat
