I am also not surprised when American OOBs seem more detailed, but I don't assume thats because this is an American game (in fact, I don't think MobHack or DRG are American, are they?), but rather because of American openness and the availability of detailed information on their weapons systems. Most other countries simply don't have such detailed information available.

I am British, Don is Canadian.

US organisations, tactics manuals etc are freely available in the public domain. This contrasts with other govermments where such things are usually covered by the Official Secrets Act or similar classifications.

Even the WW2 based manuals for the my high school's Combined Cadet force were marked "Restricted". UK Govt defence related pubs are not subject to any "freedom of information" acts.
