Some of the imperial to metric conversions leave a lot to be desired. in the article "Staghound Rocket Launcher" the conversions are well out.
3,000 yards does not equal 2,000 metres, it is 2,743.2metres so that measurement is almost 3/4 of a kilometre out. That's not a small amount. Having said that, I am enjoying the vehicles category listings. Regards Rick.

Thanks for the correction. something went seriously amiss with my mental arithmetic there, however, it does reinforce the next sentence "Accuracy (particularly in terms of range) was wanting," Roger

Roger,
That made me laugh. A good read though. Regards Rick
