Fallout Re: The FASTBOAT Patch page.

Don,
Yes. I had to take what info I had including that picture ref. from MAY 2010, again posted below from their Defence Directorate in charge of R&D, Procurement etc. for those dates.

Two other things drove that decision to go with the dates as well...

1. The LEO A1 and A3 series MBT's just completed the last of their upgrades with the ASELAN FCS MK I System in 2009.

2. The M60T RESET Program was also finishing up around that time as well.

The only option and I believe you might have it in the back of your head as well for the A4, is to extend the end date to either DEC. 2009 or NO later then JUN. 2010. I have to tell you I was totally "locked on target" with the whole LEO issue and refs at hand and had to have a little faith in something at that point. But I am open to the above as well if it'll serve the game a little better.

Off topic to an extent and now for next year, you'll see the same sort of thing with SAAF ROOKIVAK helo that was grounded then RESET over 18 months.

As a reminder for others the LEO A4 were bought with no mods from Germany because of the huge capital investment being made to totally RESET all 298 of these tanks. Providing the ALTAY program stays on track these LEO-2T tanks represent the final step to reaching that goal.



Regards,
Pat
