Default Re: US OB v4

I'd like to think that I'm not complaining, at least in this case, but asking questions because I cannot see into your head and understand development decisions without doing so. I understand that a lot of hard work goes into balancing out the dynamics of the game with the reality (and the "reality"), and that these won't always mesh, so its important to ask questions in my mind to get a better grasp on why certain decisions were made, both just for my own information and also for my own OOB editing.

The end date for unit 119 meshes with the out of service date for AH-1s in the US Army. From what I can tell, however, these aircraft were AH-1F (as units 121 and 698). I can see confusion stemming from the general confusion surrounding the last three US Army AH-1 variants, all of which were initially AH-1S variants (including the "Modernized AH-1S" that was subsequently redesignated AH-1F).

Even from the sources its not entirely clear when the AH-1S were phased out and/or redesignated completely. It does appear that the AH-1s of the 25th Infantry Division, which were the last in the US Army, and departed 3/99, were AH-1F. I could see just leaving unit 119, but units 121 and 698 should probably also have end dates 3/99.
