This may sound stupid but wanted to be sure.

Is the most up to date "official" OOB for UK included in the 2.0 or 2.5 patches?

Thanks.

As I have just downloaced the game and patches installers because I forgot to transfer them to the new computer, I checked the version dates:

The one from the installation, applying patches up to 2.51 has the following info line:
Version 6/Sept/2005 (C) 2005 The Camo Workshop

so I downloaded the one above and it gives an info line of:
Version 24/June/2005 (C) 2005 A. Gailey & The Camo Workshop

Looks like the OOB was updated in one of the patches.

Cheers
Andy

New Info on a major change in the UK OOB.

Due to FRES being so far in the future (Aprox 2015, at best) the MOD have started re-building FV432's and issuing them, so they have new engines, suspension, steering and add on armour. The net result is performance comparable to Warrior.

What I've found out.

FV432 Mk3
Being issued to battalions called AI Mech infantry.

Some have claimed 60MPH cross country, but I think they where reading the Speedo wrong and it was KPH. Which is much more believable, and about the same performance as warrior, which was the aim.

Extra armour only on the sides of the vehicle.

A remoute weapon station.

As of now, apparently two companies of the 2nd bat, Royal Green Jackets are mounted in them (1HQ Company + 1 Rifle company). Latter 1 Batt of the Royal Anglian will be upgraded to this vehicle. Another battalion will be using them by 2008. Also issued to AI units currently using the FV432 Mk2.

PS: Can we have Snatch Rovers in the OOB now?

To my knowledge it is the only LAW type weapon with a built-in spotting rifle.

LAW 80

The Armour on the Front Slope looks like a warrior armour pack (Look at the slope of it compared to the front slope of a FV432). Dunno about the sides though.

And a new Bangstick:

That Last one should be getting to front line units in the next few months.

yes - 432 Mk 3 is already in (both the naked and protection pack versions, plus the "what-if" IFV version).

Also looking into the new Mastiff (cougar) MPV vehicles that may replace saxon:
Cougar
