[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Don,
I fully understand as I see my "smaller" plate half full already and I've been following the "post release" posts closely. As I've said a job well done to everyone! And after the news of the day I certainly don't want to seem critical which would not have been my intent anyway. So for the forum/game world I'll focus on some positives below...
HELOS
UK PUMA HC2, FRANCE and others for SUPER COUGAR, RUSSIA Mi-8MTV and IRAQ and others Mi-17V5 all get TI/GSR 50 but the real winner was the USA UNIT 275 MH-47G. Though I asked for it's inclusion into the USMC OOB I can understand from a slot and real life issue why it wasn't put there, after all as pointed out in the PP and elsewhere the 160th SOAR Air Regiment is an Army unit assigned to SOCOM. So you SEAL users save those SUPPORT Points and keep it real and those guys safe!! Also Don did clarify UNIT 293 to positively identify it as a SOAR bird MH-47E.
AH side the AH-64E looks great! But I was very happy to see the South African ROOIVALK's especially UNITS 895-897.

MBTs
All tanks submitted were entered and or changed (Helos also.) but of note Iran will be tougher now with the improved
UNIT 032 ZOLFIGIR 3 based on newer info found on the complete series of these tanks.
While looking at the new BTR-82 I noticed UNIT 090. Though I was going to ADD this tank as posted next year, Don couldn't wait yes the T-90AM UNIT 059 is in! What is of real importance here to me was the TI/GSR. You'll just have to go to the MBT Thread Posts #213-#215 and #227 (Note the Dates.) and do some checking. There are some new challengers out there now. This highlights the reasons for maintaining good notes. THANK YOU Don!!

APCs/MRAPs
New USA BRADLEY's as noted from the above Posts and elsewhere, UNITS 898/899 were a surprise also and look great! As do Russia's BTR-82/82A UNITS 060 & 207 respectively.

And where I would've submitted it last year in the MRAP section, I forgot to add it after it was requested to be looked into. After doing that there was some debate of it getting in at all as it appeared to just be a utility vehicle. The task given was to find proof of it's use in combat, once done, Don added it to his work list for this patch as one of the first pieces of equipment to make his list. The UK got it's HUSKY TSV UNIT 060 and it looks GREAT. That's the second year in a row Dons done that concerning the UK for me. THANKS AGAIN! See the MRAP Thread Posts #104-113. I believe cbreedon started this on a separate HUSKY Thread.

French OOB, SPA/SPAA and I believe one other Thread
The French 105mm field guns I believe has come to a successful conclusion if not a reasonable compromise. May that PITA RIP in 12/96!?!

Pat
