Default Re: Minor German OOB error

The service dates do differ.

Probably something that could have been covered by an a/b combined model as they are identical in game terms. However now they are in the database, deleting one or other would need a complete check of all existing scenarios to see if one or the other is used, as the removal of the thing may bork these.

About the only thing I could think of doing to these (if anything), is to make the B model an X0 radio code (common) and leave the A model with an X1 (less common) radio code.

Cheers
Andy

My mistake. I saw "StuGIIIA and 'B" and read "StuG IIIG" then couldn't find anything wrong with the "G"s

This addition goes back years. I went back to a copy of DOS vers 5.6 from 2002 and it was there as well and I'm betting it goes back further than that.

There is a "StuG IIIa" and a "StuG IIIb" because, in reality, there were "StuG IIIa"s and "StuG IIIb"s and for all game purposes they ARE identical . This is, I am nearly 100% sure, the result of someone in the past wanting to add more "realism" for "completness" to the OOB.

I fully understand the above. Why then in OOB v5.0 the StuG IIIb has an odd SMG? (unit 035 / oob 16)
