Here you go--- I was not at home when I posted yesterday so I didnt't have the source or the game ready to check,,, you may forgive me... but I do have a source, and a very good one in my opinion, see below. And, by the way: You are asking me for my source on the non-availability of T-62s and the limited number of BMP-2s... fair enough--- but then, as a conclusion from your statement above, I would call it a bit naive to include T-62s in the OOB of just about any Soviet client state per se, with a motto like 'Let them have T-62s unless someone can prove me wrong',,, as they were 'standard-issue' - without any source?
If you want to quote what we say...fair enough but DO try to refrain from making up quotes based on assumptions...OK?

NOWHERE did we say "Let them have T-62s unless someone can prove me wrong" and that CERTAINLY isn't any kind of "motto" we have. What you were ASKED was to provide us with a source to back up what you claimed so we have a solid reason to removed them from the OOB. Fair enough, you did and the changes have been made to the OOB. WHY they were added in the first place IDK because neither Andy or I wrote the OOB's and we don't ask the OOB writers to waste precious time to provide source info to justify every single entry in a OOB. We assume if it's been entered there must be a reason even if it's just an assumption based on thin information and sometimes the information is difficult to find. If someone comes along YEARS after the OOB was originally released and is the ONLY person in all that time to have ever claimed that the East Germans never used T-62's then I think you'll understand WHY we say "prove it"
