OOB #30 patch updates wishlist

EOT · #1 December 4th, 2011, 04:55 PM

1)Is it possible to add the C16 (CASW) to the OOB#30 for the next patch? This weapon is the German 40mm H&K GMG (OOB#44,weapon slot#51)I believe it may replace the 60mm M19 Mortar.

2)Add the M3 Carl-Gustav to OOB#30.

Thanks in advance!!

I didn't send you any links the first time Don, I was guessing you guys would investigate the info and make a final decision on weapon specs/availability/credible equipment modernization.

Units will begin receiving the C16 systems in May 2011. I'm not 100% sure of this because Cdn military equipment acquisitions are usally quite a bureaucratic process. I believe this AGM would be used at the Coy level and not at section/squad level.

As for the M3 Carl-G I know they are used in the Canadian Army, I used to work on them. The only major difference between the M3 and M2 is the weight. They use the same ammo types. The Cdn army issued the M3's to the para units first because they were much lighter. The only difference in game between the M2/M3 I believe is the Heat penetration 40/50. This update is no biggy if it does no make final patch update.

Thanks in advance!!

Due to game restrictions (because I am not creating a dozen units that last 2 years ) the M3 will enter service 1996

I'm almost 100% sure the C16 (CASW) Close Area Suppression Weapon will be fielded to Infantry Coys by the end of 2011.

The C16 (CASW) is an Heckler & Koch 40mm Grenade Machine Gun made by Rheinmetall Canada. The link you posted has a reference link to the HK model and Defense Industry Daily has a story on the HK model. All automatic grenade launchers look the same.
