Fallout Re: MRAPs

It isn't, nor is it listed as the MXT. I went back to the MRAP segment that was posted to this thread from the Patch Post one, this could've been my fault. What I didn't "fix" on the first line you'll see my standard entry, note the C2 (Crew) P2 (Passengers), pretty much makes this vehicle useless in real as well as game terms. It should have read P5 with an explanation that a RECON or other small weapons/sniper team would use this vehicle and both mount and dismount from it. In the rush to get the last part of my inputs into Don when a small window of opportunity presented itself to the both of us to do so, I forgot to fix this. If this was the case I'm sure in due time it'll be made known to us. At present I had planned to resubmit the HUSKEY as it represents one leg of the triad of new vehicles as approved in the UK MOD OUVS Program. It would however be unfair of me to say there weren't other reasons unknown to me, though I could make some guesses. I've enjoyed a very high success rate in getting equipment in, modified etc. but at times some things don't. For now, I'll take the hit plan on, move on, and resubmit for the 2012/2013 Campaign. But this is the time I leave the Bosses alone, the 2011/2012 Campaign was a tough one all the way around.

Andy,
Saw your answer as I posted mine. Pulled the below from the Army-Tech ref submitted. This was the one I was looking at and meant for the game.

"International MXT model

The International MXT is a rugged lightweight vehicle meant for border patrol, reconnaissance missions and security details. It measures 252in, 91in and 96in in length, height and width. The model is powered by the MaxxForce D/VT-365 V8 engine and is suitable to accommodate five passengers. The vehicle can be armoured with a complete range of ballistic IED and mine-blast protection solutions, integral and A-kit / B-kit configurations and 360° crew protection."

Regards,
Pat
