Fallout Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

You are correct about the 2A6FIN UNIT 021 it was submitted in my last Patch Input and I recommended a simple transfer of Dutch 2NLA6 UNIT 037. I noted the discrepancy in the Patch/or MBT Thread(s) after the last game patch was released (I always bounce my inputs off the released game patch which is how I found the error.) so, it is on my work list to be fixed (Armor was also an issue with the 2A6FIN.) along with the deletion of the 2A4FIN as you noted the modernization was cancelled. Please note that the reason I submitted LEO 2A6 as the 2A6FIN was to hopefully make it easier in transferring over the Dutch tanks to the Finnish OOB. I understand the "FIN" would normally be used to indicate an upgrade/or modernization program for their armor. The remaining LEO 2A4 tanks will at least be in service until 2020 and possibly a couple of more years after. The Dutch tanks included a ten year logistics and spare parts package with the Finnish purchase. As noted in the MBT Thread it would have cost the Finns 1/2 the cost of a new LEO 2A7+ to upgrade their LEO 2A4 tanks vs. 1/2 again that cost to buy the Dutch LEO 2A6 tanks that were fully upgraded and well maintained. What would you do? I'd thank the Dutch for their tanks.
