MRVs

Class 217 – MRV APC

Finland 48 & 49, Zimbabwe 35 and UN 37 have Load Cost less than 10.

Buffel – Zimbabwe 30 has Speed 18, standard is 30.

Casspir – Peru 35 has Survivability 6, all others have 4.


Class 220 – Heavy MRV APC

Jordan 379 & 380 have RoF 6. I suspect that, with a 20mm as primary weapon, it should be 9. NB also applies to Jordan 194 (Class 37) which I think I missed.


Class 237 – MRV IFV

S.Africa 470 has RoF 9, standard is 4.

My 2 cents:

Version with bar armour never entered service, only was shown on MSPO salon in 2004 (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi..._Szakal%2B.JPG ). It was intended for Iraq mission, while the Polish Army uses Rosomaks as basic armoured vehicles in Afghanistan, and BRDMs are generally to be withdrawn soon.

It is a huge vehicle. IMO it should be bigger, than M113 (size 3).

Aircraft classes.

Apart from a few iffy speeds that I'm not going to waste your time with, the only major anomaly I can find is that the bulk of the Russian Air Force has a zero Survivability rating. As this involves something over 100 units, I'm not going there - yet. But unless it's deliberate, I suggest it's something that's worth an in-depth look at some stage in the future.

Which only leaves the tank classes . . .

Noted, I'm way busy ATM but will get back to you later on this. For now just ingore that

Don

[Richard_H]

Understood, I don't even feel like tackling it myself yet. You'll be pleased to hear that the tanks report is mercifully short . . .

Class 12 – Light Tank

Switzerland 25 & 920-922 and Finland 370-372 have Load Cost less than 10.


Class 103 – Medium Tank

Lebanon 555 has no ammunition for Weapon 4.


Class 106 – CS Infantry Tank

USMC 461 & 462 have the 120mm gun in Weapon slot 2 as well as in slot 1.


Class 131 – Cavalry Tank

China 501 has RoF 7, standard is 9.


Class 175 – Airborne Light Tank

W.Germany 62 & 96 have RoF 9, standard is 4.

And that concludes what I hope has been a worthwhile exercise. One of these days I'll do the same for WW2 - but not yet!

No need to.

The survivabilty number is NOT used by the game for aircraft or helos and therefore does not factor into a units cost as calculated by the cost calculator. Over time those numbers have been added in by various OOB writers as a matter of habit but they have no more effect on the game than would if a survival factor was added to infantry. The game simply does not read it.

The only reason they have not been cleaned out before now is there are AT LEAST 3000 units are affected but we now have a development utility that can do mass changes like this ( same one that dealt with the hand grenade issue ) and this will be done for both games.

I know survivability is not used for aircraft, but I want to confirm it is also ignored for helos????

[DRG]

That's right. They don't spit out crews when they crash so no helos either

Kewl, I thought survivability had some effect on the resistance to damage of helos much like it effects tanks.

**Goes into her OOB revision and changes all the ratings to zero**
