Send an answer to a topic: Tank and "Made for Movie" corrections

Subject
forum_emoticons.html	[quote=Harold B,90239]Thank you. https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_620088-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html This is a made for movie though, there are no real ones left https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1529335-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha-1937.html and you made a typo here, should be Type 95 not 97 :icon_smile: "The debatable case is for good replicas: original model or intended model. That can be also chosen case by case." I have no problem considering those two Ha-Gos as replicas. If I didn't know better I would believed they were real. The problem is where to draw the line on what is good enough? What is convincing to one person may not be to another. Another correction here, should be "Type 94 TK". Te-Ke was the Type 97. TK was an abbreviation of its purpose, rather than a name. I actually think "Te-Ke" being the following model was kind of a joke in that regard, or a play on words. https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Mitsubishi&model=Type+94+Te-Ke&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on Here is the list of fake M1's which I picked out as being based on Chieftains: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_709663-Made-for-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_807506-Made-for-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1246906-Made-for-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1250135-Made-for-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1263376-Made-for-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1265609-Made-for-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1733364-Made-For-Movie-M1--Abrams-.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_829946-Made-for-Movie-M1A2--Abrams-.html[/quote]

Congratulation for the new job, and thanks for the help :smile:

Missed this one since I added it under the old name and forgot to add it to the list here
White M16 MGMC
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1946289-White-M16-Halftrack.html - remove additional info

remove redundant additional info:
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1636359-White-M16-MGMC.html
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_67867-White-M16-MGMC.html

I will probably slow down on this since I am starting a new job. I got through all makes starting with A and B so far, except for a few which I'm saving for later, to do all the German and British tanks together.

Indeed with so many links to process, it is possible that I miss some :wink:

for the M16 & M15, I remember going back as I renamed both the same way then saw the difference between the two numbers... I guess I modified the wrong one then :whistle:

About using the code field for the unique ID of the vehicle, it is sometimes done for some vehicles (e.g. Rolls-Royce I think), it can still be used for special cases like this one, when there is no other specific model code for that make.

AM General M611 - Origin/built in USA. The ID of Barreiros is wrong, it was being confused for a version produced in Spain, which this is not.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_139768-Barreiros-M611.html

Borgward B IV - Additional info: Sd.Kfz.301. Years are wrong, and country should be Germany. They go here https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Borgward&model=B+IV

Stewart & Stevenson M1078 LMTV - As pointed out in the comments, production of this was turned over to BAE, but literally every other one of them on the site is under Stewart & Stevenson. So either this one should be too, or other ones which were presumably made under BAE should be moved over, and I don't know on what basis to make that distinction.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_371897-BAE-Systems-M1078-LMTV.html

FMC M113A3 - Same thing as above, but these were made under FMC for sure.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_685396-BAE-Systems-M113.html

Please set this one as 'Made for UK'. Viking is the British name for this version and it was filmed in the UK.

BAE Systems Caiman TVS
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_768738-BAE-Systems-Caiman.html

The Caiman's US Army designation was M1220 for the basic version, M1230 for the Caiman TVS, and M1248 for the Caiman CMTV. If you want you could add those in the additional info. It isn't super important to me, I just thought I'd let you know.

Some of these vehicles which are made by BAE's subcompany "BAE Systems AB", which is the part of BAE that now owns Hägglunds, are listed under Hägglunds when they really should be under BAE. Hägglunds hasn't existed since 1997, but these tanks still get called Hägglunds since BAE refers to the division that makes them as "BAE Hägglunds".

BAE Systems CV90
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1729685-H%C3%A4gglunds-CV90.html

Hägglunds Stridsfordon 9040
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_545360-H%C3%A4gglunds-Strf-90-40-INF-1993.html - Clear additional info. They only started delivering them in 1994 so 1993 is wrong.

BAE Systems Stridsfordon 9040A
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_212611-H%C3%A4gglunds-Strf-90-40-A-INF-1993.html - clear additional info, it's just a mess of the name being written wrongly. Year is wrong.

BAE Systems Stridsvagn 122
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1817204-H%C3%A4gglunds-Stridsvagn-122.html

BAE Systems CV90120-T - Origin Sweden
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1657071-H%C3%A4gglunds-Stridsvagn-122.html

BAE Systems CV9030N - Additional info: AMAP - Origin: Sweden, Built for Norway
