Remember the M35A3 were M35A2 sent to AMG and torn down and rebuilt...so if you count them would you be counting a truck twice? Onces as an M35A2 and once as an M35A3?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Actually I think you would take the square of the number of converted Deuces and then divide by 2.5. then add the number of Bobbed deuces and subtract the number of M36's. From that you subtract the number of deuces in Hawaii (because they don't count since it's too expensive to ship them anywhere). You then have the base number of deuces for this comparison. Gimpyrob will then do the final math calculations to get the final answer to your number of deuces question.nattieleather said:Remember the M35A3 were M35A2 sent to AMG and torn down and rebuilt...so if you count them would you be counting a truck twice?

Does that answer your question

say what?!
Don't think so - they will still keep the M35A3. Also, you know as well as anyone that these things will be dribbling out for years. Heck, they just auctioned off in the past couple years two M211 type trucks, several M55 series 5-tons, a couple M543s, and 1 M37. When were they retired? Where have they been sitting? I guarantee if the surplus system remains open, you'll still see M35A2s coming out 5 or 10 years from now. Maybe not as many, but they will be coming out.BKubu said:...and they'll all be gone (out of the system) by early next year or so I was told by someone that knows more than most of us about this issue. I cannot reveal my sources unfortunately...
