Exclamation Re: Minor errors in Israeli OOB

I had some time this morning and since this error report was laid out like it's supposed to be I had a look at all this and everythings been corrected but the last one

Quote:
5)LAHAT is avilable from 2006(units 066,069), although so far no official word about it entering service
We frequently have players quote Wikipedia like it's the bible of information and given how it's put togther it's always highly suspect but it can be a good starting point to find other references but I generally avoid it like the plague so I find it somewhat amusing to be using it now but I do so only to point out how information on current weapons systems isn't always easy to find OR reliable

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAHAT

according to Wiki the LAHAT is not only in service with Israel but also Croatia, India and Germany as well << !! >> and has been from 1992

It's also why it's a lose-lose game when OOB designers "guess" about the introduction dates of weapons systems in development. The M8 rifle in the US OOB is a shining example of that. If we don't add things that are supposedly going to be issues a few years down the road somebody complains . I've seen complaints that we add one particular power blocs new and developing toys but not another's when really many of these things were added in a few years ago when today was the future

But, I digress...

Have you heard any "buzz" as to when this might actually be ready for service? We have it in Indian Service in 2013. Any thoughts on maybe 2009 for Israel...... 2010 ??
