Class 36 – Mineclearing Tanks

My thinking with this and all other tank-based units has been to back off, unless something really starts to glare at me. So a difference of 1 in speed or armour rating I have left alone; I have only addressed a difference of 1 where it is in the range 1-6 (size, survivability etc), and have largely let speed differences get to 3 (10 kph) before I have highlighted them. If there has been, say, a RoF difference between exactly similar guns, I have addressed it, otherwise not. Likewise, countries may well have their own FC/Rangefinder fit, so I have left these alone unless the country of manufacture shows significantly reduced capabilities against its exports – and then only with major exporting countries.

T-72 KMT-6 – Poland 220 & 221 have Speed 21, all others have 25.

M84 Mine Plough – Gulf 193 & 198 have RoF 8, all others have 6 or 7.

Sherman Flail – France 584 has Crew 5, all others have 4. It also has Speed 10 (all others have 13) and Survivability 3 (all others have 4).

M48 Roller – Iran 178 and USA 194 have Size 6, all others have 5.
Iran 178 has Survivability 6, all others have 4.

M48A3 Roller – USA 616 has Size 6, all others have 5.

M60 Mine Plough – Jordan 196, USA 197 and Gulf 197 & 199 have Size 6, all others have 5.
Italy 98 and UN 217 have Speed 14, all others have 16.

ABV – USA 765 has RoF 6 (standard for a 50cal is 9).


Class 37 – Engineer Vehicles

AMX-30 EBG – Saudi 196 has Speed 20, all others have 22.
France 589 & 591 have FC 0 and Rangefinder, all others have 12/5.
France 589 is an interesting vehicle. It’s only available for a year (1/91-12/91) during the life of 589, but with reduced frontal armour. Was it a special version for 1st Gulf? Just my musings . . . .

Bulldozer – Japan 30, USMC 35, Norway 550, Italy 91, Austria 550, Slovakia 550, Switzerland 952, Chad 525 and Chechnya 550 have Survivability 1, standard is 0.
Switzerland 952 is only available until 1/120, standard is 12/120.

Pionierpanzer (Leopard) 1 – W.Germany 36 and Brazil 213 have RoF 6, standard for MG main armament is 9.

Leopard Dozer – Belgium 193 has Survivability 5, standard is 4. It also has Armour 16/5/3/21/6/6/2 and 114/9/3/38/7/8/2, others have 23/8/4/27/12/9/3 and 121/12/5/65/18/14/3. It may, however, be based on an earlier model.

Leopard 2 Dozer – Canada 643 has Armour 75/45/9/100/45/25/9 and 115/65/15/130/56/45/16. Standard 2A6 dozer armour is 62/17/6/100/30/15/5 and 180/52/15/130/50/30/12.

Centurion Dozer – Canada 195 has RoF 6, other 20-pdr 52 have 7.

Centurion AVRE – S.Yemen 196 has a 105mm M101 as main armament. Can’t see it myself, and I suspect it’s a copy of the S.African unit (both have Weapon 106 as main armament) without the weapon. As Weapon 106 isn’t used by any other S.Yemeni unit, a copy of the S.African weapon will sort it.

Sherman Dozer – Turkey 208 has Speed 16, standard is 13.
France 585, Iran 181, S.Korea 190, Taiwan 190, Pakistan 180, Netherlands 98 and Algeria 540 have Survivability 3, all others have 4.
Canada 194 has RoF 5, others with similar main armament have 7.
Iran 181 has Front Armour 15 & 113, standard is 11 & 109.

M728 – Egypt 214 has Survivability 5, all others have 4. It also has FC and Rangefinder 0/0, all others have 8/8.

Richard, as of today we do not need any further reports regarding differing Hand grenade allotments between units. We have built a program to correct these automatically based on unitclass so if you find anymore just skip over them.

Nice one Don, and thanks for the heads-up.

Commandos - now much reduced in size

Class 83 – Commandos

PLO 472 is the only 10-man unit in this class in the oob, and runs concurrently with the 6-man units.


Class 85 – Light Commandos

Chile 344 (6 Crew) runs concurrently with the other 4-man units. It is not a template unit, nor is it X3-coded.

Cavalry

Class 3 –Cavalry

Switzerland 888 & 889 have Speed 9, standard is 12.

Israel 155 and China 320-323 have Load Cost 100, standard is 25 or 28.


Class 150 – Cavalry Scouts

Egypt 583, Jordan 540, China 325-327, Gulf 595, Green 415 & 416, Argentina 265 & 266, Algeria 582 & 583, Chile 560 & 561, Chad 583, Saudi 475, Sudan 583 and Portugal 430-435 have Load Cost 100, standard is 25. As there are a lot of these, I wonder whether it’s a design thing?

It's to to keep small cav units from being loaded into trucks . Large units with their combined men and weight normally exceeds truck carry cap but small scout units won't so they get 100 to ensure that won't happen but it does mean they cannot be loaded into landing craft....not that this is really an issue

Don

[DRG]

AS WELL, you can now refrain from reporting deviations in the size of any infantry type unit. That will be handled in the same way as the Hand grenade deviations.


Don

[Richard_H]

You've been busy! Really looking forward to the mod already - March/ April as usual?

Damn shame I've nearly finished the infantry units

I had a lot of "fun" in my OOB variant making sure certain vehicles could be transported by CH-53s but not CH-46s/MV-22s (the LAV for instance).

I spent more time coming up with weights (which have ZERO relationship to their real world mass) for stuff then I'm certain Andy/Don have time/inclination to do for the other 61 OOBs in the game.

[Richard_H]

Tee-hee - and if only they only had another 61

Class 212 – Heavy Infantry ATGM

Egypt 520-524 have a Swim Speed. IMHO, they might get away with a Milan, but they’d need some big flotation bags for a 27kg Swingfire!

Canada 289-293 have RoF 9, standard for SS.11 and TOW is 4.

SS.11 – Italy 451 has RoF 3, standard is 4.
