Default Re: British Forces since 2000

I have merely posted what I have been told, and read, recently including on ARRSE, etc, etc, etc. i believe it to be reasonably accurate.

British TA battalions often had odd orbats, depending on recruitment, task, etc.

8 tubes in a mortar platoon does now seem standard across all infantry battalions of all types.

Spike/Extrator latest I can find: UK purchased in excess of 600 missiles and 14 M113 platforms around 2006/7. As M113 was not a UK vehicle it proved a problem to service and, these days, Spike LR is mainly used on what looks like a four tube towed launcher (photos available on the internet) mainly assigned to the RA, who use it for long range engagements that are accurate and with limited collateral damage.

F35, in the game, still seems extremely vulnerable to enemy SAM systems to me.
