Fallout Re: MBT's

Don are you thinking along the same lines that I am to avoid redundancy that maybe we have 2 Chinese variants TYPE 08/09 APC (With 12.7mm MG) and TYPE 08/09 IFV (With the turreted Chinese 30mm AC)?

We can do the same with the VN-1 as well since the sites I've found for both, refer to the export version of each as the VN-1.

We did this with the T-72B3/B4 and nobody's complained about that in the intervening years since we included it in the game.

Just a thought and it might lessen the workload by a couple of "degrees" especially as I posted the differences between the 2 are inconsequential.

PAKISTAN: Has only confirmed plans to induct the VT-4.

From JANE's, "No details were provided as to when the tank will be officially inducted or how many units have been (or will be) ordered." That puts this tank at least a year out.

Another for the above Pakistan I believe I posted on but is in my MBT Folder is now inducted, the Al-Khalid-I MBTs. Have tracking this and originally thought induction would during the 4th "calendar" Qtr. of this year or latest, 1st of 2021.

GERMANY: More on the LEOPARD 2A7V with some "projected" dates. The process has already started on the conversions to the type. I'm looking at first unit FOC in/by OCT. 2021.
