Well, the Challenger 2 has been building up for a while over the last couple of weeks. But this is why I'm here,
this from 1945 and here's the headline...
The Leopard 2 Tank Is Headed to Ukraine to Fight Russia

Now from the article...

Para 3: "But Germany, the manufacturer of the Leopard 2, continues to be hesitant to send the main battle tank to Ukraine. "

Paras 12/13: "But Germany is still reluctant to give the green light and supply Kyiv with the tank."

"As the manufacturer of the tank, Germany would have to grant a re-export permission to Poland, potentially Finland, and indeed any other perspective supplier of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. "

Ref.

The above is indicative of several articles on this and other related equipment.

This is the TRAP we've found ourselves in many times over the years. Many people have said over the years including myself, it's not going in until it's there and for my part the crews and maintainers are on the ground and trained. We ALL REALLY need to think about "holding the line here" AND JUST BE PATIENT.

I do not doubt that the Ukraine will get these tanks.

All I'm saying is THERE IS NO RUSH TO GET THESE IN THE GAME TO FIT THE "DEADLINE" FOR THE NEXT PATCH.


That can be easily handled. They won't get them before the next Patch has to be completed in the next 6-8 weeks or less to be ready for release.

We will hopefully be playing this game long after it expires so, from a player's standpoint does it REALLY matter WHEN THEY GET IN AS LONG AS THEY DO?

This will give Andy and Don after some time off I HOPE several months to focus on the weapon slot issue and others that the Ukrainian War has caused.

Sometimes I feel "I'm the lone voice in the woods" but, only to make the analogy vice comparison, they said the same thing about Churchill in the years before, well actually both World Wars.

I have to get ready for work. TGIF!

Regards,
Pat
