The FASTBOAT Patch page.

Don,
I guess I was more out of it then I thought. In the MBT section the second A1. should read A2.. This is to avoid confusion with the below para. Also A4. should also read A3.
Had made some changes to better consolidate the inputs and forgot to re-letter the section. Feel free to fix if you have that ability. Hittin the rack.

Regards,
Pat

All,
A quick note, it seems that the defencenews.com site after changing to it's new look did not link their older articles to their archive system. The affect of this is of course that basically anything used as a ref before ~ August appears to be useless including most off this last Patch Post. Any saved articles off the current site seem to be "recalled" without any problems thus far. Sorry for any inconvenience just noticed this issue a short time ago while researching some items for my next submission. Not seeing any problems with the army-techonlogy.com site in this area as they've just upgraded their site a couple of days ago. So it's not your computers.

Regards,
Pat

Don,
In regards to MBT Post #151 OPLOT to Thailand, I intend to move forward with it. As reported the contracts were formally signed about a month ago, this next ref provides me with the contract dates I needed will use JAN 2012 or JUN 2012 which ever you like best, closeout for the contract is 2013. Total units 49. Will be on my next patch post (#2).

Don,
I have solid information to support that the SPECTRE/SPOOKY
AC-130 gunships have a normal 200 meter attack radius and can track and attack three separate targets simultaneously, will the current codex support this within the game? If code limited I'll just highlight the information, but if the game will support it I'll need to further "word tech" it to justify the change and your time to make it happen when submitted. There might be some information as already submitted from last years Patch Post and or the "old" SPOOKY thread I had, will try to reenter the posts as an edit before the 30 min. clock runs out. I'm not there yet, my focus is to tie up a couple of loose ends in the MBT, APC and MRAP world first (About six more units in four countries.) and the HELOS in the next post, once that's done I know how to make contact to discuss Patch Post #3 or put this off again as #1 for next year to include this topic item.
As always thanks for your time.

See JETS & PLANES...Post #21 first two items.
