Wow, this really looks researched.
The new 40mm A/C sound is rather nice(8 rounds of destruction)

I know its a bit much...

I see that you have included alot of imaginary equipment as well, like a future tracked vehicle but isnt the CV90 chassi enough?

That is the Alvis Hägglunds SEP, and procurement plans for 2010 exists for this platform. Of course the project might very well be terminated, but it hasn't been so far.

CV90 is a very good chassi, but its expensive. The SEP is intended to supplant the "specialist" roles in a more cost effective manner, and also allow us to replace the MT-LB and Patria APC's, which will be worn out by then.

For the OOB, I chose to "assume" replacements will take place.

We got a pbv401 and 501, so I just assigned 601 to the SEP)

And what plattform is the HKP17 based on? Tiger? Anyway, its good to plan ahead for better days

There is a "possibility" that a gunship will be acquired around 2010, even though it is small. It depends a bit on how "Luftburna Bataljonen" develops. Note that its "turned off" right now (nationality 0).

Oh, and its the Mangusta 129 CBT.

I chose between three platforms; Tiger (new and "European"), Roivalk (counter trade for the Gripen deal) and Mangusta A129 CBT (somewhat compatible with the NH.90, they can use the same engines and share some avionics equipment).

I rolled dice (I really did : ) and ended up with the Mangusta CBT, and upgraded it to "2010" standards (new-gen FLIR and so on).

The Archer model really looks as beautiful as in real life.

Yeah, now I just need an icon for it.

Its pretty amazing what you can find in the picture bank in this game, to bad so few update the obat picture references... there's good stuff in there!

And how do the different radars work? Are they some kind of all seeing FO:s?

Yes, essentially the GSR's just get a whopper (50-80 depending on system) of a vision rating. I haven't playtested them enough yet to decide if I want the final version to include this... but at least ARTHUR (on various mounts) needs to be represented IMHO.

Right now I slightly lean towards removing all except ARTHUR (they're more of rear area assets, so...), but then again ArtE would be nice to have available for designed coastal scenarios...

Did you have a problem with the utility vehicles, or what do you currently need help with?

Not at all, I am just tranferring them from older version obat's at the moment, its a work in progress as I said.

I'm up to speed fixing the units per se, and might be done with this inside next week (barring burnout), so what "I need" would mainly be regarding the formations and OOB-hunting.

Of course bughunting and criticism always helps a lot and would be appreciated. I bet I got a couple if "spelling errors" in there... just after sending the obat I noticed that a lot of the MG support units had a ROF of 0...

I really like the red colour they use showing database error now.

It would be nice if we could ferret out an Icon maker btw (122 mineplow, AMOS and engineer CV90, Archer, CB90HS/E, Strb Ny, Arholma MS and so on...).

haven't really gone through this version of icos though, so I might find things in there...
