Multiple unit entries in object database?

Post by Sherlock » 2007-04-11 16:40:13

Just wondering if anyone knows why there are so many entries in the standard Falcon object database (db) for the "Air Defense - Patriot ADS" ?
Here is what I show from AF:

Code: Select all

Unit	                 OCD ID #	DB No.	Type	  CT #

Air Defense - Patriot ADS	174	   6	Battalion	74
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2609	342	Battalion	2509
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2610	343	Battalion	2510
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2611	344	Battalion	2511
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2612	345	Battalion	2512
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2613	346	Battalion	2513
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2614	347	Battalion	2514
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2615	348	Battalion	2515
Air Defense - Patriot ADS	2616	349	Battalion	2516
I think I have figured out that the engine uses multiple entries (in most cases 2 entries, e.g., SA-2) when a particular object appears in the inventory of more than one team (again our example of the SA-2 appears in the Chinese and DPRK TOEs). But why so many entries for the Patriot? <Perplexed> Anybody got any ideas?
