Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Andy,
Thank you for clearing this up. An earlier reply indiciated the MRAP was available on the USA inventory already and to be honest I haven't used the USMC in this game. In the future I'll use the allie function - thank you! I'll assume you read my "update" post on the Patriot Transport issue and the importance of the
M983 Tractor to make the system work. Will try to figure out how to use the MOHACK to make the load change if not, hope the info provided will help towards the next patch. After all Winters not that far off! Many thanks again! And good night/morning!

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Just started a 21 game generated campaign USMC vs Russia/Iran/Russia June 2009 - Nov. 2010. Just curious, will the newer 2 crew 11 personel 6x6 MRAP (and more capable.) I brought up in my original post be available to the game in the future? I believe the History Channel show "Lock n Load" expects it to be fielded by mid 2010 for both USA and USMC and aillies. Also will we be able to buy them by the section or platoon as you can with the MRAP 4x4's in the game now? Currently the USMC MRAP 6x6 (10 Per.) is tied to an organic light engineer team in the game.
Concerning the Patriot transport issue I both respectfully disagree that no unit can transport the Patriot (except currently in the game.) and kindly would refer you to my "update" post I submitted concerning the ground transport of the US Patriot Missile and the systems dependency on the Tractor to provide the launchers power.
With Regards,
Pat

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Don,
Sorry for the confusion thought you were just shifting over the USMC ones in the game (current 6x6 holds 10per.) w/o including the newer 6x6 I originally mentioned.

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Just came across this article concerning the RANGER. For IMP, Cross or someone else from across the pond does a visit like this mean anything when a piece of equipment is several monthes into the evaluation process?

No idea would say no possibly a marketing/awarness ploy, the article does state its touring all sub-contractors as part of its trials. Probably tied in with DSEi show mentioned.
Of course he could have been there to acess the manufacturing capabilities of the company if given the contract despite having no clue in that field. Fairly typical Govt procedure esp if he was accompanied by half a dozen other "experts" in that field.
Wouldnt happen in real life obviously as it would be a terrible waste of public money, kinda like letting a Civy have the final decision on what weapon systems to purchase rather than letting the guys that are going to use it decide.

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Updates on two programs I've been tracking. First the HAWKEI makes the "AUSSIE" shortlist, see posts #29 & #31 for more background on this thread. Update as follows:
http://www.defpro.com/news/details/15513/
And next an OCELOT update, this is one of two vehicles
(SPV400 is the other.) chosen as finalists in the British MOD LPPV program. Update as follows:
