Errors in Belgian OOB

[VDS]

Belgian OOB 27 -
Unit 249 (Crew) has availability date of 1/48 to 12/99.

Units 534,535,540,and 541(Paras)have a size of 0, but have 6 men.

Good catch on the crew. Crew have no formation so our checks don't look for that. I'll check all the OOB's for this

6 man para sections being size zero is a grey area. I'll run checks on the rest of the OOB's and see what else pops up size zero

Glad to be of some help, however minute it is.

Re: the size on the para teams, I wasn't sure about it either but I have never seen another unit with crew 6 being size 0. Not saying that there are none, I certainly could be mistaken...

Fun fact ---There are 33997 units in all the OOB's in MBT That means there are are Two million, three hundred and eleven thousand ,seven hundred and ninety six individual data entries that all have to have to be "correct" before nobody complains anymore <G> And that's just the units. There are weapons and formations that also figure into the equation

The size issue is under review. It looks like there may be a few things that have stayed from the path of righteousness over the years. That squad may be one of them but as I said, it's under review

Yikes! I guessed it was a a lot but those #s are staggering. I want you to know that my "error posts" are not critiques or meant to be snide, I have nothing but admiration for the SP-CAMO team. The way you guys support the game and take pride in being as accurate as possible is THE reason I finally decided to buy the CD version, even though I've only been able to find part-time work since the first time I posted here.

Another fun fact, your Belgian 6 man para unit are not alone in being size zero, There are 117 other infantry units in the OOB's with more than 5 men and size zero ( an issue, as I said, that is under review )

LOL - I certainly was mistaken!

And I didn't take it as snide. ( some few do come off with "attitude", you don't )

The crew issue actually affected 8 other OOB's as well with the very best one being Israel where the crew inservice dates were 1948 - 1955 ( !! ) However, "crew" is the one and ONLY unit in the game where in service dates have no affect in the game. Crews will pop out of Israeli tanks past 1955 without problem becasue the code ejects a crew, if it survives, no matter what and that is why there is only one "crew" for each OOB and that's why they all must be in unit slot 249 ( and why there must always be a Barge in slot 247 )
