Laser rangefinders on light AFV

[Patrick_C]

Hi all,

I was wondering, in the game manual it says that a value of 14 or more in the range finder stats is a laser range finder but all IFV like the Bradley only sport a 12 or 9 when it is a known fact they have laser rangefinder (for example, the canadian Kodiak has a laser rangefinder for the 25mm but is only rated a 9 in rangefinder).

Is there something I miss ?

If we do a quick google:

States that the A3 has a laser RF

http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m2bradley.html Seems to state that A2 bradleys got laser RF "after desert storm" but without specifying a particular date for that mod. Also agrees with A3 having one.

So - the OOB designers have not allowed for the later model bradleys having laser RF, which will have to be modified some day. That leaves the original M2, and the A1, as well as original production A2 as not having laser RF. So these would have some sort of RF <14.
