Re: Anomaly reports
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.
