winSPMBT V11.01 upgrade for 2017

[IronDuke99]

Many thanks for the latest patch and all the work that has gone into it. The new maps are a huge improvement, really very much better.

My own disappointments with it in regard to British Forces are:

Lack of the new marksmen's rifle in Royal Marine and Para Platoons (these blokes get everything first) and they got that ahead of the infantry too.

Perhaps the oddest one is the continuing use of the SA80 and LSW in SAS and SBS units (UK SF have never, ever, used either weapon and the LSW weapon is no longer used by any British regular Infantry, Para or Royal Marines units. It was always unpopular largely due to its magazine placement, under the weapon). Incidentally, while the thing about British Special Forces being strategic deep recce troops is true enough, in British campaigns (Falklands, Gulf 1 and 2, Sierra Leone, Afghan etc) some British Special Forces are normally made available to the British senior officer in theater, for local use. Examples being the pebble Island raid in 1982 and the joint British and Australian SAS raid on the Iraqi's in the second Iraq War. Would a Lt. Col. command them, probably not, but a Brig. Gen might, occasionally.

No increase from six to eight tubes on UK infantry mortar platoons.

No increase from one to two Warrior IFV in a Company HQ section in British Armoured Infantry Companies.

No 5 inch gun Naval Gunfire Support from C.2023 when the first type 26 Frigates will be available.

I actually put in a fair bit of effort to try to get this stuff right, so I am, myself, a bit disappointed, but, again, good patch, thanks for all the hard work. I will just have to get to work on mobhack.
