After readuing Clan Jaguar Smoke's recent naval thread i belive that it is time that all the store fronts agree on what the capabilities of each rl vehicle are. I also think that things need proper explanations, especailly for cargo aircraft and as such i came up with the following
____________C-5__An-225....NOTE!: This is based on weight not space. A
M1A2 Abrams _ 2 ___ 4... C-5 cannot carry 50 Hummers
M270 MRLS ___ 4 ____9
Bradley ______ 8 ___ 17
M113A3 ______ 5 ___ 11
Humvee _____ 50 ___ 105
Anyone wants me to add something i will
Another point is that very rarely if at all will a store front state what the capabilities of the missile on aircraft are. So:

AGM-65 Maveric (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/agm-65.htm)
The stats were a bit confusing so i linked them

Ships
THis is partly the reason i started this thread. Ships are way too cheap, i think that all stor fornt owners that read this should raise their prices this is why
Nimitz

if you sell a nimitz for 1billion you are loosing 3 billion.
more to come.
I kind of get the gist of the terms passive and active homing but coud a more learned person spell it out for me please
