I have to say this has been the "
quietest" pre-release of a patch in many, many years.
So, with that in mind, maybe room for this?

The last Company of these tanks belonged the
Marines of the Third Mechanized Landing Battalion (BDMZ-III). The Army divested theirs when they received the LEOPARD E tanks. Some are surprised they were not donated to the Ukraine,
however at the current asking price (Possibly with negotiation could be lower.) and the
relatively low cost to modernize, it's still
possible they could get there.
The
delay in retiring them was due to funding for the "
DRAGON VCR 8x8" armored vehicle. There is
speculation that both the Army and Marines will be armed with the
DRAGON 120.
