Re: Anomaly reports
Heavies - mercifully much simpler.
Class 205 – Heavy Helicopter
Japan 503 & 515, USA 293 and Afghanistan 123 have ‘all-round’ Steel Armour.
Aerospatiale SA.321 Super Frelon – Israel 267, France 515, Pakistan 425 and S.Africa 465 have Size 3, standard (although the minority) is 4 – it’s about the same size as a Sea King.
Israel 267 has Survivability 5, all others have 4.
Pakistan 425 and S.Africa 465 have Lift Capacity 237, Libya 126 has 140. According to Janes, maximum load is 30 troops. Changing the figure would not affect any formations.
Israel 267 has ‘Steel HF’ 10, Iran 279, Iraq 113 and Libya 126 have 12, standard is 14.
Aerospatiale AS.332 Super Puma – Switzerland 219 and Sweden 575 have Survivability 4, standard is 3.
Switzerland 219 has Stabiliser 0, standard for armed versions is 4.
Switzerland 140, 218 & 219 have ‘Steel HF’ 10, standard is 12.
NH 90 – Sweden 577 has Speed 83, standard is 100.
Mil Mi-6 – Egypt 116, Syria 123, Iraq 111, NVA 214, Libya 123, Algeria 295 and Peru 534 are Size 4. Although they are the majority, the Mi-6 is very similar in size to the Mi-26, so I think 5 is more appropriate.
Russia 351 has Speed 83, Ukraine 351 has 66, standard is 100.
Russia 351 has Survivability 0, all others have 4.
Mil Mi-17 – Afghanistan 119 has Stabiliser 0, standard for armed versions is 4.
Mil Mi-26 – India 140, Libya 124, Cambodia 455 and Peru 541 have Size 6, standard is 5.
Ukraine 352 & 353 have Speed 72, all others have 98.
Russia 352 has Survivability 0, India 140, Libya 124, Cambodia 455 and Peru 541 have 6, standard is 4.
Boeing-Vertol CH-46 and derivatives – Green 563 and Saudi 527 have Speed 100, standard is 84.
Saudi 527 has ‘Steel HF’ 5, Sweden 576 has 6, standard is 10.
Boeing-Vertol CH-47 Chinook – Greece 590 and Spain 508 have Speed 88, standard is 100.
UK 533 & 534 have Survivability 3, standard is 4.

Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King – Japan 509, USA 897 and USMC 109 have Speed 59, which seems low. They are different models, but the lowest for all other models of SH-3 variants is 72.
Iran 269 has Stabiliser 0, standard for armed versions is 4.
Israel 268 & 269, Iran 274 & 276, USMC 123, Green 565 and W.Germany 333 have ‘Steel HF’ 8, Israel 270, USMC 124 & 313-316, Turkey 580, Italy 492 and Austria 124 have 10, standard is 14.
