Danish TO & E

[Palle]

I have now upgraded and to my satisfaction I notice that you have listened to my various quibbles. Thanks.

There are some still though at first sight.

-All Danes in Afghanistan are equipped with NV & PRR, I do not know about the radio rating of the PRR, but should they not all have either 30 or 40 in Vision? I have created a variant of standard Danish units to reflect it called "DANCON XXXX" (XXXX being the Engineer, Scout, Inf, mmg, Etc.) and at a highr price.
-The m95 Rifle is being phased out and exchanged with the better m08, beginning with parts of the DANCON in 2008. Then more and more. I think I saw on the Army's # at Youtube that even more will get it next year.
-Danish snipers use the Sako TRG-42 .338 Lapua Magnum, the Jægers use the H&K MSG90, Sako TRG-42 .338 Lapua Magnum or the AW50 as they please.
-Some Danish Engineers have m82 AntiMaterial Rifles for detonating Mines.
-The CV9035 IKK is an IFV (IKK = IFV), I see it only as a support unit in game while the mentioned Life Guard unit and apparently their equivalent in the Guards Hussars (the guys in Armadillo drive them), uses them as APCs.
-The squads of the mentioned units have been changed to 6-man size to enable the CV9035 to carry them. It might be 7, I will have to look into it a bit more.

All this is not reflected in the game (yet), I will look if there is more.

Apart from that I am pleased to see you listening to helpfull corrections.

Thanks.

I found this when I loaded up my list and dealt with it but felt the need to comment so we don't go through this again......

The "m95" already gets the highest rating for an infantry rifle and I am not adding a duplicate with another name then building a whole new set of infantry units to carry it. What it may be renamed to is simply "5.56 Rifle" because the micro detail naming of rifles etc that a lot of people would like is really getting old. A rifle is a rifle is a rifle unless it has optics then it gets that rating and all those with the optics rating ( acc=6 ) do the same job no matter what they are named and we already have over 35,000 units in this game to keep track of

The existing Heavy sniper rifle already has the highest hvy sniper rifle rating and one is good enough..see above

and the game code still needs to be fixed to make that work and when it does it will still only be snipers classed units who can do this so next release buy a heavy sniper for your engineers

REALLY ?? You don't see formations 206, 207 and 208 that use that vehicle as a APC/IFV ?? Or perhaps the "problem" here is you hung up on the unit class name being "support" It's named "support APC" because we cannot name all APC/IFV classes simply "APC" or "IFV" and , "light support" , is just a name as well. That's an APC/IFV clone class and that's what it's being used for with those formations so your assumption it's not being used is incorrect. We could have used the "Hvy APC" class for that unit but it's irrelevant.. they both do the same job in the game

Fair enough, and it does sound like a good idea to just rename them "NATO 5.55 Rifle" or something along those lines for all the NATO nations that does not use their own version (SA-80, FAMAS, G-36, ETC).




The existing Heavy sniper rifle already has the highest hvy sniper rifle rating and one is good enough..see above

The Sako TRG-42 .338 Lapua Magnum is already in the game as far as I can determine, the Finnish 8.6mm TKIV, and if there are any AW50s in Denmark they are used by the Jægers.

Fair enough too.
