A long road
Hi to you all.
I'm stumbling over a dilemma while trying to modify the french OoB. As a template unit for adjusting some MBTs values I decided to use the M1 Abrams. Here's my question: knowing this vehicle is able to shoot accurately while moving at 15km per hour max., I can see the Speed value used by the game is fairly accurate: 25; wich translates to 10 to 12 hexes per turn, off road. This represents roughly between 12 and 14,4 km per hour and that's pretty correct (while it does fail to represent the fact that the vehicle must decelerate (or even go to a full stop? Any "real life" M1 gunner here?) in order to reload between shots... ). Taking these values into account, what should be the number used to represent the capacities of an AMX Leclerc? This vehicle is able to shoot accurately (and reload) while moving at 40km per hour. Accordingly, the values used in the game sould not be 23 (how the creator of this OoB got this number remains a complete mystery to me!) but 66 (33 hexes per turn while driving off road)! I know the weight of the vehicle should be a factor here but a M1 weighs 60t and a Leclerc 56t... .
What do you think?
