Pat.

If you have already posted info and I have marked it with "Thanks" DO NOT post it again please --- that "Thanks" means I have dealt with it in the OOB already I just creates confusion and gives me more aggravation to deal with that I don't want or need. The entire M1A2 SEP issue was dealt with ages ago and the only way I can check this is to go back and compare the last release OOB with the new one and it's a PITA. I have NO IDEA if you have altered any details without going through it all again......at this stage I do not want NOR should I need to go back and do something all again and neither do you.....ONCE is enough and this post is IT for this release

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Well to be honest I missed your last post. After dinner I decided to use this as I always had in the past prior to 2018/2019 as a check on what I submitted through this thread first. I just completed that check before reading your last post. This was no fun for me either going through as it would turn out, about 35 pages of posts in the MBT Thread to get Parts 1 - 3 finished in here.

So here's the "wash out" from Part 3 "bounced" against the OOB's, again all were spaced apart in the MBT Thread and not as it appears now...
RUSSIA/CHANGE/T-80B/UNIT 061/END/DEC 1992 vice DEC 1985//
First one listed for Russia I believe.

THAILAND/CHANGE/OPLOT-T/UNIT 019/TI/GSR 45 vice 50//
Under UKRAINE entry.
This was an after thought in the last sentence as submitted in Part 3. I now feel it's the right thing to do given the reductions elsewhere to the FCS of that MBT.

USA/DELETE/M1A2C/FORMALLY M1A2 SEP V3/UNIT 537/REDUNDANT TO UNIT 538//
The FCS numbers don't match to UNIT 538. I stopped there.

USA/CHANGE/M1A2 SEP V3-T/UNIT 538/NAME/M1A2C vice M1A2 SEP V3-T/START/JUN 2020 vice OCT 2017/END/DEC 2025 vice DEC 2020//
Everything else appears to be correct.

About my M1A2 FEP entry you can add UNIT 463. None of the FEP tanks should START before 10/2009 with exception of the ones that came in 2016 as I see they got a new main gun. That's why I ended up changing the date twice to get that final one because I had definitive data to support that second change.

I'm leaving it there. Everything else in Part 3 was good. This again in why I culled all this information. As I noted from the start of this, these are my checks and balances. Part 3 took me less than 10 minutes to reverify the data.

Would've posted this much sooner but, the Son and his family stopped by.

Regards,
Pat

This is the way the OOB has been set up for weeks for USA 537 .....


.......and 538



538 is the trials version and 537 is the deployment version. If you REALLY feel 538 is inappropriate I can remove it

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Don,
Wasn't aware you used "trial" version tanks in the game.

Alright you've already put the work into this, so I feel that unless you think the "slot" will be needed sooner then later, keep it in.

I'm thinking now, depending on how fast the USA deploys TROPHY, it would make sense to have a M1A2C (SEP 3) (UNIT 538) w/o it onboard.

And let there be no doubts for the "viewing audience" out here, the USA has already determined that this tank will be the first to deploy TROPHY.

New ammo might also "drive" the above in keeping UNIT 538 viable as well.

That'll give the player and AI an option on that tanks deployment in the game.

When it does get to FOC, a simple date change to UNIT 538 and maybe we find a new picture of one kicking up some mud!!!

We have plenty of options here. So again keep it.

I appreciate the feedback.

Time for lunch and back to work.

Pat
