Hi Listy,

I left the RAC in December after completing my colour service, I was a qualified gunnery instuctor on CR2 and CVRT, In the mid eighties CVRT carried a dismountable TI sight known as OTIS this was then replaced by a TI sight similar to the Warrior MAOV's TI sight known as SPIRE in the mid nineties. The TI capability although good is not up to the same standard as that fitted to CR2. Every CR2 is capable of being fitted with a dozer blade but the normal operational procedure is one tank per troop, not that we ever actually fitted them, lol. As you correctly stated we dont use mineploughs but the CR2 icon could be changed to represent dozer tanks. I was also a small arms instructor and although the Susat is capable of engaging up to 800mtrs effective section fire is only 600mtrs. I have included l85 with iron sights in my orbat (effective range 300mtrs) to cover the other arms equipment such as crews, artillery, air defence etc etc
