Saves loads of time if it goes belly up so money well spent in my view.

Could do, but it's my 2nd pc (for gaming) that I don't backup - not my "serius" 1st one

If 4.7cm IK 35/41 is indeed what you want in the Swiss OOB then it looks very much like the photo you have in their now and there is no way it's a infantry type AT weapon like a Boyes, it's an AT gun

I don't think I can remember where I thought I have seen a more mobile 4.7 cm gun like e.g. a Boyes or the 20mm Solothurn in the Swiss oob. AFAIK it was only a prototyp - so to say an ancestor of the later 8cm AT weapons. Not so relevant for the game any way. The AT-Gun version is enough.

To come back a bit on the topic, the Swiss MBT need an other change I think.
The upgrade in 2007 of the Leopard 2 tank (Unit 026 - Pz 87 LEO WE) isn't as it could be.
First the extra Armor hasn't been fitted on any of the tanks other then the prototyp and the automatic weapon station on the roof will not be completed at all.

So my suggestion would be to delay the date on Unit 876 for at least 1 year (2009) - because that would represant the full upgrade that would be possible in 2009.

And change the Unit 026 to introduncing 2008 with following modifications:
1st use the picture from Unit 027 (lbm32115) and therefore the same armor as in this earlier version.
2nd swap Weapon2 (228) back to Weapon No 226.

The upgrade is mainly cancelled or delayed due cost reasons and some problems with the new tower equipement.

IDK where you would find anyone large enough and dumb enough to fire a 47mm Boyes or Solothurn type AT weapon. The kick back would be quite invigorating.

I've removed that unit from the OOB
