Germany OOB 16: miscellaneous comments

They have been the way they are now for well over a decade and I have no intention of making changes.......... if you're not happy with exp +15 there's MOBhack ........feel free to make your own changes.

The WW2 OOB's have gotten to the point all they are doing is generating really annoying nitpicky amounts of work for me with no real gameplay benefit to 99.9% of the players

One thing only:
484 SdKfz 8 FlaK 18 were already used during the Polish campaign in 9/39 - seems, that they were delivered in early 1939 (it would demand a change in formations). It had light armour of a cab and gunshield (1 hull front and sides, 1 turret front?). Crew was only 4. There is no clear info on ammunition storage overall, but there is a mention, that there was a case for 18 rounds at the back (the only storage?) [Jentz Panzertracts]

...supplement: there was also an ammunition box with 6 rounds on the upper carriage.
"Encyclopedia Of German Tanks Of WWII" by Jentz & Doyle claims, that it carried 40 rounds, but Panzertracts are much more detailed (Encyclopedia also gives a crew of 9, but documents quoted in Panzertracts state it was only 4 - there was 9 in a version towed by an armoured tractor).
