Cross country speeds

[DRG]

As was noted in the MBT forums where you posted this as well...... the speed shown is the max road speed , the actual speed in the game is calculated as the vehicle moves over different terrain and the result depends on what it's move class is so if you have three vehicles all rated the same speed and all are moving over the same terrain and one is tracked, one is A/T wheel and the other just wheel....they willl all move different distances.

As to "Vehicles missing from OObs".......we are NOT adding every last truck used by various armies...there is no point, we've already "over done" truck as it stands now. I would be quite happy to go back to one genereic Heavy truck, one medium truck and one light truck per OOB and save a lot of space. Multitudes of trucks simply clutter up the OOB and uselessly waste slots that are in some OOB's in short supply

And ........"Your vehicle road speeds could be changed from Max to Ave?"........... No------ the speed
values we use are NOT going to change

and finally.. "Bicycles speed 6 off road?, No engine."........ how exactly did you come up with that number ?. On basic green "clear" terrain they move one hex per turn more than foot infantry ( 4 hexes vs 3 ), across a plowed field they move the same speed as foot infantry.

Actually, several of those "missing vehicles" are present. I wouldn't oppose returning to generic trucks - it would make some things easier. But I believe, that in most countries there should two medium trucks and two light trucks representing 4x4 (or 6x6) troop carriers and ordinary trucks, which constituted a bulk of transport.

There is also other slight problem, hard to overcome in a sensible way. In some OOBs heavy (and medium) trucks are used just as artillery tractors, what usually was not their purpose. On the other hand, a single class "prime mover" has a fault, that all tractors are put in the same class, from light tractors capable to tow only a 37 mm gun to howitzer and AA-gun towing ones... There is also an unclear distinction between light truck and utility vehicle in some cases.
