| 2004-10-17 | Cindy Eakle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much, you gave me the info I needed. Being as the programers couldnt or didnt make the different hit zones and according outcomes. I knew I was asking a question w/out 1 answer, and you covered it well. BTW, the game is Novalogic's "Joint Operations: Typhon Rising: Escalation expansition pack" Due for release mid-November. It's a team based war simulator w/up to 150 ppl online at a time. You might enjoy it, if you are into multiplayer games, alot of ex-military play it because of its realism. Not really just for kids. Agian ty for your time, Scott Ziering |

Expertise
Im capable of answering many of your questions about modern Main Battle Tanks and their configuration/construction/sub-systems. I can also tell you a thing or two about MBT ammunition like the DU-projectiles and Hollow Charge munitions if you like.
Experience
I work as a technical officer in the Swedish armoured corps. I work on a daily basis with modern systems like the Leopard 2 MBT and the CV9040 IFV. This is something I have done for almost 4 years now and on my sparetime I sometimes help to restore old armoured vehicles. In addition to that I have a website at www.mainbattletanks.net dedicated to swedish armoured vehicles.
