Default British OOB 7 Corrections/Suggestions

1. The British didn’t use a carbine (weapon 006) until 1944. The Lee-Enfield No. 5 Mk. I Unofficially known as the Jungle Carbine. Could call it Carbine No.5

Early war British HQ unit 244 could have its carbine changed to a Thompson SMG.

2. The Staghound AA (unit 163) with open turret has top armour.

3. The infantry Vickers K HMG (weapon 143) should be changed to a LMG and range lowered to 600yds and HEK raised to reflect 950rpm RoF.

Commandos didn’t use the ‘K’ with a tri-pod, it was used with a bipod. They used the ‘K’ with bipod, sometimes instead of Vickers HMGs when they wanted to travel light.

4. The Vickers K Twin AAMG (weapon 135) could also have higher HEK to reflect 950rpm RoF x2. Could lower range to 24 to match other 30cal AAMGs
