Error with Unit 746, Typr 70 MRL, China obat 014
 

Hi
There is a carry capacity error with;

China obat 14
unit 746
Type 70 MRL

It shows a carry capacity of 13 and a crew of 2.

It should have carry cap = 0 and a crew of 4-7 depending on where you look.

My references are

http://pmulcahy.100megs3.com/mrls/chinese_mrls.htm

http://www.military-today.com/artillery/type_70_1.htm

Here is data for the Type 63 which is the base unit for this arty mod Type 70
http://www.sinodefence.com/army/armour/type63.asp

No big thing, but I thought that I would pass this info on.

Also.. the ammo load out seems incorrect.
The game has 19 rounds total.
These sites mention 30, 40 and 50 rounds.
Not sure about all that though.

Cheers
Jason

Hi Chris if your data is correct should indeed have carry capacity of zero as it stands its an APC. The unit number is 746 though you gave a howitzer.
Only looked because didnt recall type 70s in OOB
EDIT
Actualy your last link states at the bottom 19 tube MRL carrying 19 rounds nothing about reloads though it is turret mounted so might reduce carry capacity.

The first link is a bit contradictory to in that in several cases it states space is taken up by fire control but for all of these under fire control lists NONE. not sure how NONE takes up space :)

Hi Imp
It's Jason, not Chris

The APC is Type 63
The Type &) is an arty version, with either a Howitzer or a MRL
For those two versions, there should be carry cap=0

The APC carries 13 troops...no problems there.

As far as ammo loads go...just wanted to show there were some different ones.

Please try to read the whole message bro....you are confusing the issue.

Perhaps I got the unit number incorrect...but I am referring to the Type 70 MRL...not the Type 63 APC EDIT _ I have changed the unit number to 746, this is now correct.

Cheers
Jason

Unit 746 in the Chinese OOB is 0 carry, class 137, 1x20 rounds, 1x19.

Since that is a recent copy of the "work in progress" OOBS, it seems like it has already been noted and fixed for the patch.

My APC guide mentions nothing about carry capacity with rockets mounted but there is a cleary visible circular hatch in roof centrish witch can mount a turret I assume.
It states can also mount 4 ATGMs in identical mount to YW534 APC but again mentions no space reduction but does state missile version carries reloads inside so rocket may well.
Lists for YW534 may mount a turret with 25mm cannon & coax mg in which case crew capacity is reduced to 7 if that helps.
534 is fractionaly longer/wider than 531 & also carries 13 normally.
