Re: MBT's
I have to say this has been the " quietest" pre-release of a patch in many, many years.
So, with that in mind, maybe room for this?

The last Company of these tanks belonged the Marines of the Third Mechanized Landing Battalion (BDMZ-III). The Army divested theirs when they received the LEOPARD E tanks. Some are surprised they were not donated to the Ukraine, however at the current asking price (Possibly with negotiation could be lower.) and the relatively low cost to modernize, it's still possible they could get there.
The delay in retiring them was due to funding for the " DRAGON VCR 8x8" armored vehicle. There is speculation that both the Army and Marines will be armed with the DRAGON 120.
