The following 2 articles are a carry over from my most recent post in the Fastboat Patch Thread from earlier today. These are not "
BS" and please take them on face value and
not so much about the main topic but, for the "
big picture" as regards mostly to the
second article.
These are the latest I can find from official sources...
USMC: At Fort Knox,
Company E, 4th Tank Battalion on 24 Aug. 2020 "cased" their colors. As I've already posted from the USMC all the tanks are going back to the ARMY Depot stations to be likely refitted as either to the
M1A1 SA/RESET M1A2C (Production of the
M1A2 SEP V2 was completed about
~3/4 years ago.) standards. These are the only tanks the USA is fielding at this time (Or about to.).

USA: This is from 8 Sep. 2020 and addresses
one of the major hurdles in delaying both the
F-35 which is obviously a much more complex "machine" (And still ongoing.) but was also a cause for delay with the
M1A2C. Well apparently the
USA has reached a "
milestone" completion of the onboard "
logistics/diagnostics" software and supporting equipment. There's still a way to go, but this is a big step.

Concerning
TROPHY, like in
2018 with the
M1A2 SEP V2, it appears the USA intends to do the same with the
M1A2C
by fielding a Combat
Brigade/or Regiment with
TROPHY first before the rest of those tanks get them at a later date.
Well I'm going to enjoy the rest of my evening off before going back to you know where tomorrow
, alright maybe not that bad after August-maybe!?!
-yeah maybe!?!
TAKE CARE!!

FORGOT: Don the
Japanese MCV-16 is playing like a "champ" in my Long Campaign against Russia. In my first battle, I
lost 3 out of 6 but I almost broke even with them achieving
2 kills on the
T-72B3/B4. The AI loves buying those tanks!!-OUT.
