Re: APC Development and related topics.
I know Kevin (And others to include myself.) would be disappointed, but I'd rather see the issues of an up armored, new 120mm, LAHAT and TROPHY with the MERKAVA IV being addressed as was displayed at EUROSTATY 2010 and is in production now to include back-fitting all fielded MERK IV tanks as they now come into the maintenance depots. A tank is a tank and I say this to agree, OOB slots for some countries are getting tight. I'd rather have the improved up gunned NAMER too support my MERKs as they can keep up or are even faster. I was for this but the clock is running on the game as are slots, I fear with some countries it's really coming down to picking and choosing the "best bang for the buck". I'd rather have space for the new equipment and or major improvements to existing as discussed above as an example or quickly the ARJUN MKII as another.
Regards,
Pat
