Mass Combat -- TL8 Unit Examples?
I really liked the examples of modern units in GURPS: Mass Combat--IFVs being the heavily-armored Bradley, APC as the M113, and Stinger teams as the very effective anti-air MANPAD.
Are there any more TL8 examples of modern military units? They seem really cool! |

Almost any modern unit should be easy to identify a corresponding element for, though deciding what quality levels and special modifiers to attach might be more involved.

Plus I don't know that much about modern warfare, so I'm not sure where to start. All I know is that missiles became a lot more popular and are a lot easier to use than AAA. |

And I'm still unsure about spy planes. Regular planes don't get Recon as an ability...

Scout plane is a listed element type. It's not a good fit for something like a Blackbird because it's SA rather than FA...I'd tend to not worry since that sort of spy planes aren't really tactical assets.

No existing element fits it though. A flying light tank might be: Code:
Light Flying Tank 320 Air, Arm, Cv, F, Rec 4 SA 560K 28K 10^ Code:
Air Recon 80 Air, Cv, F, Rec 2* SA 100K 10K 10^ *Motor recon, and thus the flying version, should be WT 2 not WT 1
