Corrected UK OOB
 

This fixes a problem with the non-platoon HQ infantry sections not showing between 98 and 2005.

It also fixes the light infantry company and platoon to use the correct infantry types. (Light infantry coy/pl is there to represent deployments to places where anti-infantry is emphasised, and hence the anti-armuor is downgraded).

Unzip this to
\game data\OOBs
AND ALSO TO
\game data\OOBs\default OOBS

overwriting the existing oob007.obf file in each.

(Any error reports, please attach to this thread.)

Cheers

The FV432's run a bit late as front line APC's dont they, the year 2000.

I thought We'd switched entirley to Warrior by then. Also there seems to be a Warrior mortar carrier?

Re: Corrected UK OOB
 

BASV is an MOD programme - google on BASV (Batlefield Armour Support Vehicle or such )

432 is allowed as an X3 human-only pick later for those that want it, or for a scenario designer to change to. There are plenty kicking around, though they tend to be used for Bn HQ etc vehicles. Not as actual APC at the sharp end. they also seem to be used as admin vehicles in e.g Bosnia/Former Yugo. attached is one used to support some tarpaulin in SFOR days.

Re: Corrected UK OOB
 

I've seen some things about BASV, that's even more of an unknown, and as uncertain as FRES and FIST programes. I belive it also includes ARVE vehicles and weapons carriers (IIRC Terrier is part of the BASV program).

It also Crosses over into the FMRAV and FRES programes, so it's not known if it's going to happen.

BASV I was looking at including BASV, but I couldn't find any hard data so I didn't.

Here's my OOB, Have a look and see what you think.. I'm realy proud of Sheilder.

Re: Corrected UK OOB
 

Andy, will we get a patch soon that corrects all the found errors and changes so far? I don't feel like downloading every individual corrected OOBs (yeah I know I'm lazy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)

Ditto!

Oh no, not listy again.. posible OOB misstakes
 

I've had a look through the UK Infantry, and I think I've found some error's/mistakes (They might not be though).

All these are basic rifle/Support sections. I'm also assuming that the RGGS is the Under-barrel Grenade Launcher (UGL) just coming into service to replace the 51mm mortar. It first arrived last year I belive.

rifle Sections
unit 065 has 8 law shots, in an 8 man squad
unit 075 has the RGGS, and is available in 1998.
unit 344 has 2 LSW's, and is avalible 2007-2020, but there is no Minimi Version.
unit 623 has a minimi and RGGS in 98, 5 years to early.
unit 624 has a Law 66 for 98-2010

Support sections
unit 090 has a 51mm mortar available all the way up to 2020.
unit 103 has LAW-80 available after it's been replaced by the MBT LAW. It also has an odd Ammo load out on those LAWs.I've had a look through the UK Infantry, and I think I've found some error's/mistakes (They might not be though).

Other Stuff:
The SAS PV's share the class with the Scarab. and shouldn't those PV's just be armed land rover's? not MRV's?

Also the SAS squads useing L85 and L86's? I don't think I've ever see that before!

Re: Oh no, not listy again.. posible OOB misstakes
 

I've discovered some information about the Centurion Series of tanks, particularly the early Mk 1/2 models from
"New Vanguard 68: Centurion Universal Tank 1943-2003

Centurion Mk I had:

76mm Front Glacis @ 57 degrees
38mm Sides/Rear

Only a handful of Mk Is were built before production switched to the Mk II, which had:

118mm Glacis
51mm Sides/Rear

In the current WinMBT OOB, the Centurion 1/2 have
the same armor ratings; could this be corrected
in the forthcoming patch?
