Fallout Re: MBT's

Well everyone seems to have survived Beryl, just a lot of yard work earlier between the rain. Anyway this what's left of my MBTs...
1. Already reported on the new M1A2 SEP V2 as an ADD, this is the VISION 50 TI/GSR version. So it follows that the now called
M1A2 SEP V1 would be converted (Probably a as time allows game name change to be submitted?). So a possible end date change should be DEC. 2014 or JUN 2015 which allows for a seven month program delay or our "swag". lower LEFT FOR REF INFO SOURCE (GD.).

ADD SEP V2 FOR SEP MODIFY NAME AND CHANGE END DATE.


2. As reported yesterday in the APC Thread, Columbia after a couple of years, is again up for consideration by Israel to be the MERKAVA's FIRST foreign customer.
TRACK.

3. If you've been following along in this thread and the Patch Page one, I'll be submitting several tanks for vision increases to 50 based on published and manufacturer info. Some tanks didn't make the list because of the use of 2nd GEN FCS which is limited to 40 TI/GSR. LECLERC fell into this category, which frankly surprised me me at the time. Does it make it a bad tank? NO IT DOESN'T, one reason is that the FCS (Now I fall back on memory.) can track and target six tanks within I believe a minute-that's decent fighter poop there! And here's another for the same reason from a respected site covering that country out of the UK.

FYI.


Well that was easy enough, and I just recieved a message from my Comm CTR. that the rains are letting up and those TYPE 99's are approaching my Thai troops sector with heavy mech. infantry support. Have to get to the CP before Gen. AI hits me with his arty.
He likes his arty!

Pat
