MRAPs

[Imp]

Concerning #2 I don't believe (and as stated on the first post I could be wrong here.)

Dont take as gospel but vehicle crews in a campaign work like this.
They gain any experience from the battle then if upgrade/switch vehicles the following happens.
To same type of vehicle as in tank to tank minor exp loss as its new equipment.
To a difrent type of vehicle bigger exp loss
If the vehicle is destroyed the game still checks think fairly random if enough crew survived & there is a chance they do & transfer to the new vehicle.
Same applies to all units change to a diffrent unit type they take a small experince loss. The bigger the diffrence in unit type the bigger the loss, for instance switching a squad to a vehicle or SAM unit.
Hope that helps

GILA,
I'll give you that, working second shift 2-10/or 3-11 EST and it taking another hour to get home after downloading, the winding down process can take awhile before I finally crawl into bed. This morning that was at 0730 (Thank God these are my off days.) it was a well fought battle with the AI but not worth the price paid this day. Anyway this is why I already have so many thanks and "sorrys" out there compared to my posts. I do appreciate all that is done for the game and gamers. But most importantly to those that check my posts and take the time to reply I THANK YOU and DO APOLISE for any past or future issues. I like what I do in my military retirement but the job is what the job is and all that comes with it! By the way any room for submarines in this game!?! To all have a great day!!
With Warm Regards to All,
Pat

Been there, done that. Try not to do it, doesn't always work.

Yes, it's called the "exit" key. If you hit it and never come back to the game, just say that you had a boomer nuke the site with an ICBM and everybody is dead

LT.,
I agree about the job and the exit key, it would make things to easy especially when the AI is playing you tough. Better to go down fighting and learning from it then to lose face. My last boat here had a big exit button.

Good Evening!
Thought you might want to see what's here that's new and what could be coming in the next couple of years or sooner. Everyone seems to scrambling to either get or improve the MRAP's they have or both. A newer class (M-ATV) is now available to the USA made by Oshkosh and Plasan North America (for advanced armor tech.). Oshkosh has been awarded a contract by the DOD for the USA of an order for 2,444 units with potential to reach 10K units. They will be heading to Afghanistan by the end of this year, 45 were on hand already which the army took delivery of. Though not mentioned seems to me it's going to replace the Hummer for GP use with those numbers, pictures follow.


Next is BAEs (of South Africa) RG35 crew 2 with a 15 passenger capacity. Tested to climb up to a 60 degree incline. No buyers yet but expected to be tested by UK at the end of the year or early 2010, pictures follow.


Finally, Universal Engineering's (UE) RANGER crew 2 with either
4 to 6 passenger capacity with modular construction. Available in 4X4, 6X6 and 8X8 versions. No buyers yet though UK interested, UE is a private British firm, picture follows.


RG35 and RANGER meet Level 4 A/B mark as set by STANAG 4569 for MAX. protection in Class (Anti-Tank Mines, Shaped Charges Etc.). Both about 550HP, 115km (70mph?)on road with a 1000km range
(550mi?). Sources Defence Update and US DOD sites.

I would like to see the mushroom cload on my screen though.

Nice pictures Fastboat. I'm looking for a new car. Do you think the dealership would have one of those for under 10 grad?
