Thank you Andy.

Does this however open up a big nasty can of worms ?

If s ranging 50 on a tank now has a value of 15, and the spotter rifle in a WOMBAT/MOBAT is 8 shouldn't the crew served weapons (tripod mounted weapons with T&E's) have a higher value then 1 ?
The ranging MG on a tank is an MG, it fires 3 round bursts from a belt of several hundred rounds. A spotting rifle on an RCL is a semi auto weapon firing from a box of 12 or so rounds, so 8 or maybe 10 would be worthwhile, maybe.

Unlikely to make much game difference, even if we left everything alone. RCL life expectancy tends towards zero, whether towed or jeep-mounted.

And, what exactly are "T&E's" ???

Cheers
Andy
