Please post your comments and eventual errors about Library here.

I did look at the library a bit, though not proof it all. One comment is kudos on the cool campaign trees included. Nice feature.

From the description of the M18 Hellcat: "Unlike its bigger and more heavily armed tank-destroyer cousin, the M10" I always thought the armament of the M10 and M18 was quite comparable and it certainly doesn't match in game stats as the M18 got 2 HA more there then the M10.

I have a guestion. Should we only report issues with the new entries, or the whole library? I ask this because, a long time ago, I made a series of suggestions for the library (some minor ones were used, but the release schedule of AK prevented more). So there are still some older entries which might benefit from a little touch-up.

I'll post some suggestions later, but I've already seen that the Crusader section needs some work: the pictures are not of Crusader tanks, I'll check the texts later.

Hi Thomas. It is very time-consuming to post every suggestion to the forum separately, and then integrate them into game texts, also separately. If you want, you can just edit Library texts directly, and then send me updated files. What do you think?

If any images are not correct in the Library, please tell us! We need to know about it asap.

I think that's a good idea, I'll see if I can edit the htm files directly. I know my MS Word messes up the formatting, I'll try notepad. Mind you, a lot of small facts (and the proper designations) stated in the library are inaccurate, so I'll try to rewrite in the same style.

About the images:

Crusader tank:
The 3d model shows the Cruiser Mk IV tank, not the Crusader. And the big image show the M10 Wolverine, although this file is actually named Crusader (placeholder?).

M10 Wolverine tank:
Related with this is that the M10 Wolverine doesn't have a big image.

57mm AT:
I don't know what to do with this one. The 3d model shows the US 76mm AT gun, and the big image is the US 37 mm AT gun, the text is for the 57mm. And there is also a separate entry for the 6-pounder, which was the exact same gun as the 57mm, so it's kind of redundant. The easiest solution would be just to leave it out altogether, maybe?

Similar to this, I've already mentioned the inaccuracies with the game icons for the towed US AT units in the units thread, there are good icons in the game to represent all three.
