MRAPs

What I didn't "fix" on the first line you'll see my standard entry, note the C2 (Crew) P2 (Passengers), pretty much makes this vehicle useless in real as well as game terms. It should have read P5 with an explanation that a RECON or other small weapons/sniper team would use this vehicle and both mount and dismount from it. In the rush to get the last part of my inputs into Don when a small window of opportunity presented itself to the both of us to do so, I forgot to fix this. If this was the case I'm sure in due time it'll be made known to us. At present I had planned to resubmit the HUSKEY as it represents one leg of the triad of new vehicles as approved in the UK MOD OUVS Program. It would however be unfair of me to say there weren't other reasons unknown to me, though I could make some guesses. I've enjoyed a very high success rate in getting equipment in, modified etc. but at times some things don't. For now, I'll take the hit plan on, move on, and resubmit for the 2012/2013 Campaign. But this is the time I leave the Bosses alone, the 2011/2012 Campaign was a tough one all the way around.

Andy,
Saw your answer as I posted mine. Pulled the below from the Army-Tech ref submitted. This was the one I was looking at and meant for the game.

"International MXT model

The International MXT is a rugged lightweight vehicle meant for border patrol, reconnaissance missions and security details. It measures 252in, 91in and 96in in length, height and width. The model is powered by the MaxxForce D/VT-365 V8 engine and is suitable to accommodate five passengers. The vehicle can be armoured with a complete range of ballistic IED and mine-blast protection solutions, integral and A-kit / B-kit configurations and 360° crew protection."

Regards,
Pat

What are the stats for the Husky? I will just add them to my UK OOB. This vehicle would fit how I play perfectly. I usually have a sniper team in a small vehicle try to infiltrate to the rear of the enemy and wreak havoc :-)

Once upon a time a very long time ago there was a vehicle and his name was Willy's such a silly name, that most knew him simply as Jeep. He was made to bring supplies to the troops, get them to the doctor and other mundane jobs. However there was a nasty war far from home and he was asked to serve there, so he got fit and his friends found he could do so much more like tow a 37mm ATG and carry it's crew or because he became so fit and was so fast and agile he become better known as a scout and sometimes a raider with his team and a .50 cal, first in the deserts of Africa, then the jungles of Asia and also the forests of Europe. You know not all is what it seems in the beginning...

And you better believe there's a Pic, this also from the UK MOD and do please note the date of the article...


For general specs on the HUSKY refer back to the army-tech ref on Pg. 10 Post #100 for the picture showing the up-armored version in the defence-industry ref also in the same post and with the picture above you might have enough for the RECON/COMBAT version for your Icon. It will carry 5 troops. Will see if I can come up with more combat pictures and or specs if still needed.

I so love a good bedtime story, especially after some of my teammates had a bit of a testy day and I feel their pain.

So good night as I have to do it again later today.

Pat
