Oh, and a wholly other question for Jaws43:

Have you any info about the Fennek MRAT?

I know it is supposed to fire Gill ATGMs, but is it just dismount transport, or pintle mount, or a special turret? Or has the program been cancelled altogether?
I found nearly no info on this variant, and since I ahave done new icons for the recon, utility and FO versions I would have liked to add this one too.

Thanks for any info,

Plasma

And 3x panzerfaust per MRAT vehicle. So a vehicle has 5x Gill and 3x Panzerfaust latest generation. Man I'm glad I only do the Dutch Cavalry and not the whole world

All the better I don't have to icon a new turreted version

These figures are the ammo loadout? I guess you don't fit 8 AT teams into one Fennek!

So this Fennek MRAT is only a carrier for the dismounted ATteam, which uses both Gill launcher and PzFst III from outside the vehicle, right? No way of firing the Gill from a ring-mounted launcher, like on a HMMWV or anything? Really?

heew:

Hey, by the way, how long has the Dutch Army had Panzerfausts?
Pardon if I am not up to date, but I thought they had gone entirely to AT-4.

Indeed the Fenneck is only a AT carrier. 3 man do the job. It is all reorganized inside to fit.
The AT-4 is almost done and the Panzerfaust is implemented at this moment.
