British OOB7 corrections/suggestions (v.6)

[Pibwl]

supplements:

...129 Morris 15cwt - and I'm not sure, if it should be AT/wheel. Only two not numerous models produced from 1944 were 4x4 (Guy Ant Quad and Morris C8/GS).

Same remarks for 288 Morris 15cwt (Utility veh.)

By the way: I suggest to rename 055 Bedford to generic "3-ton lorry" to cover all 4x4 and 4x2 lorries. It is used in the game for towing of 17pdr gun only anyway... maybe it should be AEC Matador tractor then?

006 A10 - it's a detail, but maybe it's worth to change its class from Cavalry Tank to Heavy Cruiser - that's what it was regarded. It is the only unit of its class, and its formation would end before advent of next Heavy Cruisers (Grant)

110 Carrier AOP - first series of special AOP carriers was ordered in 3/39 and delivered in 1940 (now starts at 1/35) [by J. Magnuski's book; 1939 date is confirmed by Osprey New Vanguard 110 - Universal Carrier 1936-48].
According to AFV profile, they carried a Bren, but I suppose it had to be AAMG, since there was a binocular slot in a place of Bren cover.

next:

150 Vickers Med CS - according to AFV Profile 12 Medium Marks I-III, Medium Mk.IIA CS had 3.7in mortar, fit first of all for firing smoke, using also HE, but not very accurate in this role. There's no info on ammo load. Other remarks like 125 Vickers medium.

157 Valentine II - for the first year they weren't used in combat, and their debut was only in 11/41 Crusader operation (now starts at 11/40, so it can be used in a desert earlier). Maybe earlier they should be available on 'special order' only? Anyway, 3-men Valentines should definitely last later - I don't know when, but I think well after El-Alamein (now: 12/41) - they started to replaced with 4-men Valentine III only from 4/42.

Same for 364 unit (class Light Inf. tank, used in special formations)

158 M15-A1 - picture is M16

159 M16 - according to J. Magnuski, M16s were introduced to British armoured divisions (including Polish 1st Arm.Div) at least from 3/45 (now 1/46).

188 M3 SP 75mm - picture is 105mm SPG - correct is pm27738
Same for 199, 200

189 M3 SP 6 Pdr - correct picture is pm29389

194 Sherman V - a proper photo is 4015 in SPMBT (same for other Shermans V)

211 AEC Mk I - picture 27583 is in fact Mk III (bigger: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...moured_Car.jpg ). Proper seems 12533
They first appeared on African theatre in 1942 (now 10/41) [AFV Weapons Profile 21 - Armoured Cars Guy, Humber, Daimler, AEC]

236 Hawker Hart - crew should be 2(1)

237 Hawker Hind - crew should be 2(1). It's a detail, but accoridng to a Russian book on ground-attack aircraft, it entered service in 12/35 (now 1/35) (Wikipedia says 11/35) (then, a lifespan of Hart should be extended a bit)

241 LRDG Chevy AA - photo is 37mm portee - correct is 16201

(254 Lt Tank Mk VII - referring to what I wrote about #66 Tetrarch, this unit could be used in a landing on Madagascar in 5/42)

286 Austin 7 - it could take only 4 persons including a driver, and is rather not known for a military use. It's best to change it to Austin 10 Tilly (or generic Tilly - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilly_%28vehicle%29 )
