Corrected UK OOB

Listy · #1 July 9th, 2005, 04:41 PM

I've had a look through the UK Infantry, and I think I've found some error's/mistakes (They might not be though).

All these are basic rifle/Support sections. I'm also assuming that the RGGS is the Under-barrel Grenade Launcher (UGL) just coming into service to replace the 51mm mortar. It first arrived last year I belive.

rifle Sections
unit 065 has 8 law shots, in an 8 man squad
unit 075 has the RGGS, and is available in 1998.
unit 344 has 2 LSW's, and is avalible 2007-2020, but there is no Minimi Version.
unit 623 has a minimi and RGGS in 98, 5 years to early.
unit 624 has a Law 66 for 98-2010

Support sections
unit 090 has a 51mm mortar available all the way up to 2020.
unit 103 has LAW-80 available after it's been replaced by the MBT LAW. It also has an odd Ammo load out on those LAWs.I've had a look through the UK Infantry, and I think I've found some error's/mistakes (They might not be though).

Other Stuff:
The SAS PV's share the class with the Scarab. and shouldn't those PV's just be armed land rover's? not MRV's?

Also the SAS squads useing L85 and L86's? I don't think I've ever see that before!

I've discovered some information about the Centurion Series of tanks, particularly the early Mk 1/2 models from
"New Vanguard 68: Centurion Universal Tank 1943-2003

Centurion Mk I had:

76mm Front Glacis @ 57 degrees
38mm Sides/Rear

Only a handful of Mk Is were built before production switched to the Mk II, which had:

118mm Glacis
51mm Sides/Rear

In the current WinMBT OOB, the Centurion 1/2 have
the same armor ratings; could this be corrected
in the forthcoming patch?

They were not used, it seems. At least - I cannot find any historical evidence for them.

I've just seen an article that says Watchkeeper RPV will have Observation Radar's.

The watchkeeper's current Vision is 40.

Me again, with Questions this time.

Looking at the challenger 2, and I was wondering where the version with the add on armour is?

My other Question is concerning the Vickers HMG. It's only got a HEK of 5, the Same as a Bren gun, and a Vickers has surely more firepower. There was one account where one gun managed to fire 5 Million rounds of .303 non-stop..

Yes but it doesn't dump them all in the same area in 3 minutes, does it? That's what increases the HEK number not the fact it can fire marathon shoots. It's not a Gatling gun. It's a nice slow but steady HMG but doesn't have a very high volume of fire in any given 2 or three minute segment and yes, you can fire it all day and all night but that doesn't make it inherently deadlier in any given "game turn". In fact, it's less deadly because of it's slow rate of fire but that slow rate of fire allows it to shoot for hours but that kind of endurance doesn't count of much in the game

What "uparmoured challenger 2". Never heard of it. Cites? (UK MoD, Vickers etc ??). Pictures?. Stats?. Numbers?. Local one-off engineering job or official Mod programme?.

Or - are you getting confused with the uparmoured CR1 (Challenger 1+ in the OOB) as used in Operation Granby ?.
