Re: Colombia

There are no plans by the developers to add or change any of the existing nations. The only way to have Colombia in game would be to make a custom OOB from scratch that would replace an existing...

Re: Bradleys

The FKSM is a bit confusing. I re-read it after you pointed that out and it appears that for some reason the (x3) note is mentioned twice for the M3 CFVs in the Battalion Scout Platoon. The Scout...

Re: Bradleys

Unfortunately, the US Army method of designating units is confusing and obtuse. There is a lot on that website that is incorrect (emphasis added where useful):

Re: MBT's

Never said they weren't or even that it wasn't prudent on the part of the Russians (and everyone else still churning out T-72 derivatives).

It was a comment on the need for Western defense...

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.

Not all HMMWVs, all Up-Armored HMMWVs. This is an important distinction. This was the USMC plan with the original MRAPs and it didn't last long. It will be interesting to see if this actually...

Re: MBT's

The 152mm gun on the M551 (along with the different gun used on the M60A2) used a set of squat, combustible case rounds. The HEAT round was only intended to engage tanks at ranges shorter than the...

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.

I had the same problem trying to put in info about British, Dutch, and Canadian MRAPs. I really should make the post again, but I got frustrated initially and bailed on it.

Re: Early U.S. Army armed helos

That's why I said relative heh. The USMC more or less had the same type of helicopters available to them as the Army did. The Army pressed ahead because of constant Air Force resistance to its...

Re: Early U.S. Army armed helos

The only point I was trying to make was that the USMC had the relative luxury of making such a decision, while the Army did not. They could debate the merits of fixed-wing attack aircraft, while the...

Re: Early U.S. Army armed helos

This is probably more accurate. There seemed to be some debate over whether or not this had made it to Korea. It probably is a product of things getting conflated. The test was no doubt a product...

Re: Early U.S. Army armed helos

The US Army is known to have tested a modification to the H-13 involving an M20 Super Bazooka in Korea. How extensive these tests were is unclear.

Re: Early U.S. Army armed helos

The US Army was in the process of testing a wide array of weapons between 1956 and 1960. None of these were fielded in any operational capacity.

Some of the kits had been approved for a wide...

Re: Suhiir's Revised USMC OOB #13

Its interesting that the .30 cal system is in the notes like that in my opinion. The Army didn't start doing testing on the systems that would lead to the XM1 until well after the Korean War.

Re: Suhiir's Revised USMC OOB #13
