I would just like to clarify some of my earlier statements regarding tanks
and their accompanying methods of destruction.

Gun sizzes: When I called 75mm a mid-sized gun, I was thinking of a range from
25m (the Bradley, or the 23mm on some Eastern APC, either the OT-64 or -65) up
to the 120mm smoothbore. It is correct, however, that the smallest tanks, in
the true sense of the term use 75mm or thereabouts.

Wow, gun sizzes. I must be tired.

HEAT: I know these will destroy an APC but not bother and MBT. I though I made
that clear when I said they would barely scorch the paint of a real tank. I
suppose in my flippancy I became inaccurate in my terminology.

FASCAM: At the time, I could remember reading it as "Familiy of Scatterable
Mines" but I also recalled reading an update referring to it as
"Field-Artillerysomething-or-other".

More clarifications later.
