You might not like it and think it to expensive but in the case of the second a recalculation might be required for the era of the mid-nineties to present based on the below and already submitted refs provided for EXCALIBUR (This includes Russia, UK, FRANCE, GERMANY etc. etc. yeah it's getting ugly fast.
VERY ugly.
Researching and updating 92 OOBs would be akin to cleaning the Augean stables in the Labors of Hercules.

Fortunately for Andy and Don's sanity WinSPMBT doesn't, and can't deal with such things as fuses except in VERY abstract terms.
Trying to include Copperhead, laser/GPS guided, VT, illumination, chemical, etc. etc. while a GREAT boost to game "realism" would be impossible.
As I mentioned above someone could perhaps research when VT becomes readily available for each nation represented in the OOBs and increase HE Kill ratings to represent it. But I'm sure not gonna volunteer.
