Some issues from the Italian OOB spob34,
game version v3.00 (OOB version "April 2008" .. no version number given any more, contrary to the manual?!)

****** No...... we have always given a date as the version number but we used to include the actual day the OOB was altered and now we just go by the month and the Year so what you used to see as "Version 28/April/06" was NOT "version 28 produced on April 2006". It was produced on April 28, 2006. I dropped the day to save space on that info line and to simplify it as the actual day is unimportant.

U#423 "3RO 75L46"
SP-AT Vehicle [Type 52] ... but 0 AP/Sabot/Heat ammo

******Yep, and it's been that way for years ( over 6 years at the very minimum )My first guess is it should have AP but seeing as it's been that way for quite awhile I will assume instead that I'll need to dig into it a litte deeper

U#497 "TL-37 75L27"
same type [52], same gun (75L46)
- there's no 75L27 gun in the italian OOB, but doubt L46 and L27 are anywhere similar in performance! Btw., I googled for 75L27 and came up with nothing?

********** I'll look into it.

U#484 "Tl-37 AS-20"
same autocannon (W#005 Breda CM 20L65) as U#475, yet it has the 40HE/5AP ammo loadout of inf/AA guns instead of a 20HE/25AP loadout.
Both are SP-AT Vehicle [Type 52], btw. ...

***** I'll look into it

U#57 "3RO 90L53"
is [UnitClass 19 =Tank Destroyer Tank Clone] but should be [UnitClass 52 =AT(Wheeled) Wheeled vehicle AT type] as it is wheeled, unless this is an formation issue ?!

*********** If you look at that unit more closely you will see the moveclass IS "wheeled" for that unit. It will be a formation issue and exact unit class name is irrelavant.

misc. :
There are tons of weapon-specific bunkers and generic "Art Costiera" ... plus ONE "Art Marittima" (sea arty) and "Difesa Costiera" (coastal defense) each [Type 254]
.. and some generic fortifications [Type 0] .. maybe throw out 50% of them unless you need them for the AI ?!

*******No chance of that happening. Why would more choices be an issue ? It seems we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. If I took them out ( and I have NO intention of doing so ) someone else would ***** that they we removed them.

Arralen said:
U#86 and U#135 are basically the same tank, one available from 6/42-12/42, the other one in 46. Why not extend the first from 6/42-12/46 ?

********* The version in Unit 86 was added sometime between now and Dec 2002 as a replacement for another unit that was removed and that provided rough continuity in the OOB on the remote chance that unit had been used in a sceanrio. Yes, it is somewhat redundant but to anyone actually playing the game it means absolutely nothing at all.

Why is "semovente" some abbr. as SMV and sometimes spelled out completely ?

*******Becasue sometimes we need to use the appreviation to fit the unit name into space available. Unit 86 is a prime example "Semovente M.42 75L34" is too long a name so in that case "SMV M.42 75L34" is used. Sometimes we have the space and that's why Unit 89 is "Semovente M10" instead of "SMV M10"
