It's a given now this thing was a stop gap and didn't really do much of anything except help train people so it's essentially a waste of time having it in a combat game but it's there now and we'll work around that.

In all some 245 Dingo scout cars (registration numbers 77001-77246) were manufactured, and served with the Australian Army until superseded by the Canadian Mk.3* Lynx I scout car in
1944.
QUOTE:
The Dingo scout car, unfortunately, was a flawed vehicle......
.................the weight of the vehicle (at some 4.7tons when fully equipped) severely restricted off-road performance such that the type was more or less limited to roads or hard surfaces.
So we know it was superceded by the Canadian Mk.3 Lynx I scout car in 1944 so 12/43 would be too early and the 6/44 I have in now as "guesstimate" is probably closer to reality and that would probably be a safe start date for the Lynx
We also know that it wasn't very good cross country so the moveclass sould be 2 ( wheeled ) not 3 ( AT wheeled ) to better reflect it's reality
