Default Re: Iraqi errors report - Part 2

Some additional nice to have things.

Centurion Mk-7 tank could be added.
This one however, given the scarcity of available weapon slots, is conditional to overwriting one weapon.
Specifically weapon n. 90mm M36 Gun in the iraqi OOB should be overwritten with weapon n.91 20 Pounder 52 from the british OOB. They are both tank guns and the iraqi weapon n.90 is used only by unit n. 8 M47 which, as I esplained previously, was never used by the iraqis anyway (and even if one wanted to play “what if” there is always the capture option).

This unit could be created in the following way:
1) Import unit n. 15 “Centurion Mk 6” from the british OOB
2) Rename it “Centurion Mk 7”
3) Rearm it with
- Weapon n.74: 7.62mm L8A1 CMG in the second slot (not the correct model but they have exactly the same stats)
- Weapon n.73 : 7.62mm L37 AAMG in the third slot
- 20 Pounder 52 in the first slot.
4) Availability dates changed to 1/1956-12/1975.

Unit 582: Dug-In T-62M
It should be deleted. As I noted in the past T-62 fitted with laser rangefinder was probably nothing more than a prototype/limited production; unit 26 T-62M is sufficient to cover that.

Weapon n. 7 “AK74 Rifle” could be renamed “M16 Rifle”
This could be used to rearm unit 414 Rifle Section a well as:
- A clone of unit 413 Rifle Section with 6/2007-12/2020 as availability dates
- A clone of unit 420 Motor Section with 6/2007-12/2020 as availability dates
