ISSUES!

There are 2 known problems with the campaign. They do not cause problems with gameplay but they are there.
<SNIP>[list][*]D-65 is the Company Executive Officer's Tank. It should be a standard M60A3 but with a blade attached. Since there was not one in the current OOB I replaced it with a CEV (identical in about everyway except for the main gun). I then edited the data to replace the gun with the standard 105mm M68 found on the other M60's. The graphic will show the CEV BUT the unit itself is acurate in all other ways.

DD.......is there some reason why the "M60 Mine Plough" (unit 197 ) wasn't usable in this case?? It uses the same 105mm M68 80 gun as the other M60A3's

I don't rememeber why. I started this in SPMBT (DOS) and not sure that unit was there. the M1 w/plow was but not an M60. For some reason I modified a M728 CEV. Probably was in too big of a hurry to look for a proper unit.

I'm currently playing Silver Lions, and it seems that primary MBT for '85 is... T-10M! I've encountered them in two missions.

I havent't finished the campaign yet, but it's hind of strange to see tanks that should be in museums, lading attacks on NATO lines...

Only modern tank i've seen so far was Czech T-72. (I'm not counting some T-62s in one of the missions)

So i have to ask - are these T-10s placed for purpose, or is it just a bug? I'm using standart russian oob, no modifications.

No bug. As part of our training we practiced scenarios involving all types of equipment. While rare, there was a small possibility we could have faced these if the war dragged on and attrition began to set in. My main reason though for adding them into the campaign was just to add variety.

Also, since we were still equipped with M60's at that time (actualy were until after June 1987) it would be hardly fair for the player to have to face hoards of T80's and T72's.

Now I remember why (was doing some revisions). The M60 Mine Plough is not available after Dec 1984 and the campaign takes place May 1985. Using the Editor I have corrected this and it is now an M60 Mine Plough. In reality though the Company XO's vehicle had a Dozer Blade and not a Plough.
