Default Some possible errors

Not saying how to suck eggs you probably do this & as programers far better than me just running macros.
Imported all weapons into one database & got to sort by name & weapon class then it compared fields & highlight diffrences.
There are a lot in weapon size but ignoring those as think not used first 3 weapons gave errors as follows

ID 15 Australia Slot 83 Name.30 (2) BMGHE Kill 7
ID 48 Brazil Slot 69 Name .30 (2) BMG
HE Kill 8
Only 2 entries for this weapon

ID 28 Netherlands Slot 51 Name
.30 Browng AAMG HE Kill 9 Accuracy 15
others all have 5 & 20 lots of entries

Assume without looking these are vehicle weapons as 2 sets of ranges 10 & 24 so ignoring.

As I said thats first 2 weapons with more than 1 entry could post more but probably easier if you set up to run yourself
The sheer amount of data errors are bound to creep in
Cheers
John

There are 14,936 weapons in the MBT OOB database so expect to find a few that might not agree but we are fixing problems like this as they are found and these have been noted on the to-do list to look into. Once we know where a problem might be I can track them all down in a few seconds once I set up the search query( we have our own database checker )

The problem with things like the Browning is it was abbreviated in different ways in the various OOB's but last release I did work a bit at that and now they are all ( or should be all ...) Browng . I just ran a check and refined the search and yes indeed the Dutch .30 cal version was missed. The other 16 nations that use it have 5 & 20 --now corrected

As for the BMG there are 6 nations that use it. Two have 7 HEK and four have 8 HEK and that's been corrected now as well.

I can search for hours and not always find something so if you do find anything else just let me know

I have quite a few busy at the mo but will get round to, as I say if all weapons are loaded into 1 database any weapon with more than 1 entry can be searched for to see if match. Not so good with vehicles as diffrent dates or contries have diffrences in ammo etc but can check general stuff like speed armour.
Can you say if I can ignore weapon size there are loads of them. Also do you want me to highlight multi weapon names like TOW 2 & TOW-2 that have exactly the same stats.
Can upload the open office database probably the easiest way with errors in bold.
Will just upload the errors not the whole database (its big) unless you want as can see adjacent units so know what it should be.
Other option is I replace the error with an X then you just use search to find all instances of X, might be quicker for you stand out. UN is not included but all other nations are.

You can ingnore weapon size as the game doesn't use it.

You can also ignore minor weapon name variations. All I'm really interested in is one weapon has an HEK ( for example ) of X and all others are Y
