Default Re: MOB issue?

I'll look into that. The two formations that use them end 12/2005 ( both the Urban platoon and the Urban company ) First I'll need to find out if the formations did indeed cease existing at the end of 2005 or not. If no then the formations end date will be adjusted, if yes, then the units end dates will be adjusted

Re:9040/56 I'll dig into that as well. It may be a simple clerical error with the carry capacity or the 9040/56 was assigned the wrong unit class and that version should actually be in another formation. The /56 is armed with Missles the other versions of the 9040 do not carry and right now, without digging deeper I cannot say one way or the other that those missles do or do not reduce the carry capacity of that unit or not. One way or the other both issues will be resolved for the V3 upgrade.

EDIT: It may also be that the 9040 needs their own formation as the one they are included in now is set up for the Pbv 501 and named Mech Inf Pl 501. Notice also that the existing Mech AT Pl 501 ( formation 132 ) ends 12/3003 and the start date for the Strf 9040/56 is January 2004 so when the Strf 9040/56 starts the unit with the infantry ATGM ends effectivly replacing the infantry ATGM teams with the armoured Strf 9040/56. HOWEVER the first thing I need to determine is if the added missles reduce the carry capacity of that vehicle or not. Once I know that it will make figuring out what to do a bit easier
