Chuck.....just because you "suggest" something doesn't mean I'm going to do it or agree with it or even enter into a debate about it on this forum. Right now is the exception to my personal rule.

I think it would be most sensible to give the 128 size 1 rather than bulk the 6 and 9.2 inch up to 3 and 4.
Life just isn't fair sometimes Chuck. I'm sure if you take the time to really look at all the OOB's you may find other gun pits that don't quite live up to your standard of what's "fair" but as there are over 12,000 units in the WW2 OOB's that dozens of people have had a hand in crafting that might take a bit of time but I have no doubt if someone really put their mind to it we could play "That's not fair" for days on end but when is all said an done it will make this >< much difference in how the game plays out

From what I can see of that series in the Brit OOB it's a cut and paste typo where whoever added it forgot to change the sizes or simply figured size one was good enough. Who knew 7 or 8 years and thousands and thousands of game play hours later by thousands of people ( 1 ) person would make an issue out of it. The fact it's you is no surprise. You seem dedicated to ensure that your favoured Nazi hordes have every advantage in the game but in this case I think I'll make the Brit pits a bit larger.

I wonder if the 88 gun pit could be extended into 46 like the 105 and 128 gun pits?
Best Regards Chuck.
NO Idea, I hadn't even realized there was a cut off date for that. I'll put it on the list and see if anyone involved with this OOB knows why. It may have been intended to be upgraded and was simple forgotten about. On the other hand that end date looks to be tied in with the end of the North African campaign.
