Fallout Re: MBT's

I was trying to find where that mine discussion was from early last week but couldn't find it. No matter now here's an interesting read from earlier this evening when taking a break from my submission list work.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...4ada774472160a

A brief update (Not really.) for "X-COUNTRY" CHANGED 5 tanks with minor modifications based on data and more importantly to support a missing tank in the OOB which is linked to building a further new tank as the export model for X-COUNTRY. So, 5 modified with 2 new build tanks. Total tanks used for this process beside separate refs would be 9 tanks across 2 OOB's.

Those above are done for now (Just recheck and editing before posting.) and moving onto...

Y-COUNTRY to build an export model from an existing tanks in the OOB this should be easier, and I know I'll be looking at 4 (On the fence about a 5th one.) existing tanks to model this properly plus refs already set. Also, for Y-COUNTRY I'm going to build a new tank I feel has a decent chance to make the game and it won't be a "slouch" when I'm through with it. That'll require only 2 existing tanks to build upon to get there and maybe 1 or 2 from I'm thinking 2 other countries.

Z-COUNTRY, well Don might figure this one out but, it needs to have an existing tank modified because like the STRV-122 (And we built that one.) was built to order and was actually a better tank than the exporters own was, the same situation applies here as well. So, 1 modified, 1 to be built due to a major modernization program with that to be copied into another country that currently has a "stop gap" tank there now. And 1 one more for Z-COUNTRY with a further, more current upgrade based on where it was recently in combat in a country far far away!!

Z-A COUNTRY Is getting a new modernized tank as well and happens to be the exporter for Z-COUNTRIES tanks above.

But there's been a whole lot of new tanks that have entered service this past year in other parts of the world. Maybe that's what's above I just Not to worry one way or another there're in my MBT file anyway.

Things are moving along fairly well and I'm happy I decided to proceed without sharing the work before I'm ready to submit it because it leads to distractions that certain of us can do without right now. And this is not meant in a bad way towards anyone.

Bedtime calls with a short week as the daughter asked CINCLANTHOME if I could take Sat. off to spend with them. Amazing that even as adults they can still manage to go through Mom to get their way!?!

I kid afterall how can I say no!!

Regards,
Pat
