OBAT 29 - Norway

[DRG]

OK, thanks. For the sake of one year I think either the c-130's are going to show up a bit early or the Paras a bit late.

Bcck on track after a lengthy holiday and with the v3.5 in working order. Great! However, I discovered a couple of new things about the Norwegian armed forces, more specifically the new 5.56 rifle. It is certainly true that the FSK Special Forces use the C8, but the navy's elite units (MJK) apparently bought some G36s back in 2000 (this according to Wikipedia, but it does explain the fact that I have seen the rifle in the hands of Norwegian military personnel). Moreover, just after the 3.5 was launched, the Norwegian army presented the rifle they actually would introduce as the standard infantry weapon: the HK 416...

Minor stuff, but I hope you'll find it useful if you decide to make a 4.0 version...

I found a strange thing happening with the norwegian Bycicle Squads (Units 143 - 146).

When I play the game either side (Norway as Player or the AI) and having Bycicle units (Units class 172 + 179), their Icon in the game (not in Mobhack) apearing as a kind of Roller/Engineering Tank - and not as bycicles at all...

The Units also sound like tanks.

They all have icon #604, which is an M48 w/ roller. This appears to just be some sort of error that was missed because regardless of the icon number it shows standard infantry in Mobhack. However, I thought bicycle units were supposed to use the bicycle icons or allowed for the selection of a specific icon? I guess I'm wrong.

For now it appears that you could probably just go into Mobhack and set them all to icon 0 (which my give a blank I realize) or otherwise look for the correct bicycle icons in another template and then copy the numbers over.

Icons 839 or 838 working fine...

Oops.......

I will check any other nations that may be affected by this as well
