Hedgehog Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Interesting that Holland is getting rid of some of their CV90's how many will this leave them?http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/international/europe/2014/12/09/dutch-sell-combat-vehicles-to-estonia-for-100m/20169729/My guess is 3.1 to go on operations.1 to train and exercise with.&1 spare.[sarcasm]Why maintain all those expesive conventional war vehicles when you never use them?Better to buy mine resistant jeep and trucks with HMGs and next to no armour.That can be used in the insurgency wars that seem all to common these days.If you need to blow something big up call the RNAF, USAF, RAF... (take your pick.)After all the cold war was 20 years ago wasn't it?[/sarcasm]As you can tell I have a high opinion of the Dutch government.Almost as high as my opinion of the current UK Govt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Well WoT is pretty popular in the East. I've seen Leo1s and M60s so it must be getting better/easier to hit things on those micro maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the networking. ..wonder if they know about this little tactical/vehicle simulation game that (I've heard) is out there..
