British Forces since 2000
Just a few points about British Forces since 2000, for the people who run the game to consider, maybe for the next update...
Mortar platoons in the British Army and Royal Marines are now eight rather than six 81mm tubes. 60mm mortars are also available, including as a company weapon on occasion.
Spike LR was purchased from Israel in time for the second Gulf War against Iraq and was also used in Afghanistan. Initially it was on a M113. These days Spike LR is 'core force' with the British forces, but mounted on a four tube towed launcher and mostly assigned, it seems, to the Royal Artillery.
I don't know about other people but I think F35 in the game seems a bit too vulnerable to enemy SAM's given it has stealth technology, at least from in front, when carrying internal weapons...
The two new, very large, Royal Navy QE Class Aircraft Carriers, largest warships ever built for the RN, are due to carry a normal air wing of 24 F35B and could carry, in a important war situation, up to 36, in addition to helicopters. Aircraft maximum, all types, is said to be at least 56.
Hope this proves useful to the good blokes who keep this game up to date...
