Just out of curiosity, what Reg' were you in? Mac.

What you're talking about is Parallax error and it happens when you're too close to the objective too, not just when you're too far away. The human pupil can only accept it's own size in light, which is why the exit pupil for the SUSAT is 6.3mm. Go too close to the objective and you'll have a parallax error, which means each shot placement will be completely different at 400m, unless you can re-place your eye in exactly the same place, with no error (physically impossible as human beings). Go too far away and exactly the same will happen. I never had my eye resting on the rubber surround of the sight unit, I always observed it as a bad habit - but if it worked for them, why not? It is however, an incorrect principle.;) Mac.

This problem has been sorted. Thanks.

The cab is definitely larger/higher. I've not been able to work out which. You're spot on with regards to not having to stoop as much as the Mastiff 2. I know that the interior was re-designed and a lot of space was saved with things being tucked away. A few lads were injured with bit's of kit flying around that weren't secured after IED strikes, so each bit of kit has it's own secure spot in the vehicle now. I think that's attributed to the larger feel. Apart from having a cheeky nosey around the Mastiff 3, the only real experience I have is with the Mastiff 2 and I can certainly see a lot of differences, especially internally. With regards to the C-IED variants, internally they are worlds apart from the PPV model. I'm trying to do a variant with the C-IED specs. but I'm dubious about including any of the internal ECM equipment for OPSEC. We'll see how it goes. I'm mainly going to concentrate on the PPV model as it has a larger audience at the moment. Just an interesting video. Gives you an idea of the extra space even with the rear seating in place.

Hey Monkey, They're actually picture taken of current Mastiff 3's. They still do fill out the PPV role, however I'm aware a lot went to more specialised mounted regiments. The Driver and Commander doors are still to go on. The only significant difference on the outside of the vehicle are the small gaps left for movement on the outside and the retainers for the plates. It's internally that you see the major modification for the redeveloped armour around the doors. Also, the rear cab is very different internally, which is one of the main differences between the Mastiff 2 an 3. There is plans of releasing both a Mastiff 2 and 3. But I'll have to see how much time I have. Many thanks for the heads up, thanks for all the kind words.

7XBRF - GU Mod Team are happy to relase the first renders of the 7XBRF - GU Mastiff 3 Protected Patrol Vehicle (PPV), used by the British Armed Forces and currently in theatre in Afghanistan. 'Mastiff is a heavily armoured, six x six-wheel-drive patrol vehicle which carries eight people, plus two crew. It is currently on its third incarnation. It is suitable for road patrols and convoys and is the newest in a range of protected patrol vehicles being used for operations. With a maximum speed of 90 kph Mastiff is armed with the latest weapon systems, including a 7.62 mm general purpose machine gun, 12.7 mm heavy machine gun or 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. These wheeled patrol vehicles have a less intimidating profile than tracked vehicles and give commanders on the ground in Afghanistan more options to deal with the threats they are facing. They have Bowman radios and electronic countermeasures and are fitted with additional armour beyond the standard level to ensure they have the best possible protection.' The Mastiff 3 will come in several different variants with different weapons platforms, including the 7.62mm GPMG, the 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) and the 40mm Grenade Machine Gun (GMG). One of the Mastiff 3 Models will be equipped with the ROTAS Mast - Mounted - Sight system.
