Ah, spotted this only a few minutes after the posting so I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Sweet. So looking forward to using the update, and getting the DLC.

Database: Unit 1115 (Belgian AIFV-B-25) is missing ammo for its coax 7.62. Amount of ammo is set to 0, suggest 1800 (equiv. to 200 ready + 1600 spare).

The link above won't connect. I've tried a number of times. Consequently I can't play the French DLC I just bought as it requires the update.

Thanks for the reply. It still didn't work so it's posted in Tech support.

I think you should contact the Matrix Help&Support directly. https://www.matrixgames.com/contacts

Thanks for spotting that ommision.

Interesting that online they claim it has 230 ready rounds and 1610 stored. I only saw 200 and 250 rounds boxes, 230 strikes me as very odd (although similar errors were claimed in past for other vehicles).

[Jace11]

Here's another..

Aircraft 160 and Flight 160, Alouette III Gunship (with AS.11) has no weapons and the flight is listed as a scout, but there is already a scout Alouette III in the French inventory (aircraft 159 and flight 159). The sprite for 160 also suggests it should be armed with ATGM's.

The patcher defaults to C:\armored brigade, with no way I can see to change the directory to where my game is installed?

Thanks

[nikolas93TS]

Thanks again!

It has been fixed ad will be available with next quick patch in few days.

Arrival time should be "Time on Target" ("TOT") or even "Estimated time of Arrival" (ETA). No such thing as "Arrival Time" in the military but is more applicable for the time a bus, train or plane arrives.

[Jace11]

One thing I would like on the air support screen is for the aircraft numbers and ammunition to be updated after regrouping. It always lists their full loadout, if they fire rockets but still have their bombs, I would like to know that. If a flight is reduced to 1 aircraft, that would be useful to know.

For the TOT thing I'm pretty ignorant but I thought it was used to specify a time on the 24h clock or whatever. In game the time is a countdown in minutes and I haven't heard of TOT being used for a countdown, though people do say ETA 2 mins or whatever and that seems more flexible and interchangeable, but whatever, it doesnt really bother me as long as its in english and easily understood.
