MT Errata Questions

Unless I'm totally mistaken, this would be ok to post here, right?

This one is from GDW and would be considered official. There might be more problems, I don't know. I don't even own COACC.

The last table look like crap in this mimimal window I have to post in. I wish I knew how to make it bigger! Anyway, it looks ok when I preview it so I hope it looks ok.

COACC Errata and Addendum

A number of errors have occurred in the writing and publication of
Close Orbit and Airspace Control Command. In addition, the rules were less
than complete in a few areas. The following attempts to correct these
errors and address these omissions.

Page 9-- The drawing shown is that of the Akron (TL-5) non-rigid airship
described on page 87. The drawing on page 87 is that of the Rio de Janeiro
class luxury passenger dirigible. This design was submitted for inclusion
in COACC but not published.

Page 11-- Ypres (TL) 5 Primitive Fighter, the correct technology level is
TL 5, not 4. The correct endurance is 3.3 hours, not 8 hours.

Page 17-- Laramie TL7 Jet Fighter: Missile bays are 200 kg missile bays.
Each may hold one Semi Active Radar Homing missile or Active Radar Homing
missile. Note: maximum external stores for this aircraft are 9.45 tons.

Page 19-- Reno (TL9) Fighter/Interceptor: Missile bays are 200 kg missile
bays. Each may hold one Semi Active Radar Homing missile or Active Radar
Homing missile.

Page 21-- Abilene (TL8) Jet Fighter: Missile bays are 200 kg missile bays.
Each may hold one Semi Active Radar Homing missile or Active Radar Homing
missile.

Page 23-- Daytona class Orbital Fighter/Interceptor is TL 10, not TL 9.

Page 25-- Nuremburg class Attack Aircraft-- Maximum external stores= 1500
kilograms (reduced from 2000 kgs).

Page 29-- Weapons mounts: (Addition) Purpose-built attack aircraft with
no sweep back in the wing design may have more than two outboard hardpoints
on each wing. All hard points may carry weapons as long as the total
external weapons load does not exceed the limits stated in the rules.

Page 29-- Weapons mounts: (Amplification) Note that the rules state
aircraft NORMALLY have no more than one fuselage hardpoint. This does not
rule out additional fuselage hardpoints such as those found on the Mexico
City bomber design.

Page 31-- Weight: (Addition) A purpose-built attack aircraft may carry
up to 40 percent of its clean weight as external stores and its gross
takeoff weight may be 140 percent of its clean weight.

Page 33-- Weapon Mounts Table:
Add the following line:
Pre-Stellar 7 Missile Bay (1) .20 1 200 kg air-to-air missile 3500

Page 37-- Port Stanley (TL8) VTOL Medium Attack Aircraft: This aircraft
may carry either a 2000 liter drop tank beneath its fuselage or two 1500
liter drop tanks on its inboard underwing hardpoints, not both.

Page 49-- Seattle (TL8) All-Weather Heavy Attack Aircraft: Delete the
fuselage hardpoint. This aircraft correctly has only the four inboard wing
hardpoints and a maximum external load of 6 tons.

Page 50-- Semiactive Radar Homing Missiles: The task "To radar illuminate
target aircraft" becomes Formidable if the range is greater than 60 squares
at launch. If lock is maintained and the range to target is reduced to
below 60 squares in subsequent combat rounds, the task reverts to
Difficult.

Page 53-- Mexico City (TL9) Bomber: The correct name for this class is New
York City. The Mexico City designation belongs to a class of heavy
freighter described later in this book.

Page 55-- Semiactive Radar Homing Missiles: The task "To radar illuminate
target aircraft" becomes Formidable if the range is greater than 60 squares
at launch. If lock is maintained and the range to target is reduced to
below 60 squares in subsequent combat rounds, the task reverts to
Difficult.

Page 59-- Dive Bombing Release Points
This table should read as follows:
</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> Range Altitude (meters) DM
0 500-1500 +2
1 1500-3000 0
2 3000-4500 -1</pre>[/QUOTE]Units: Range: Squares from target square

Page 59-- "To hit designated target area with bombing attack:" (task
correction)
Referee: DM-1 if bombing with high-drag bombs.

Page 64-- Correct the Dive Bombing Release Points table as shown above.

Page 67-- Fuel Tanks: (correction, should read) "These 500-, 1500, and
2000-liter external tanks..."

Page 68-- Air-to-Air Missiles (correction)
The range figures for the SARH and ARHM should read 6/90 rather than 6/60.

Page 68-- Air-to-Air Missiles (additional line)
TL8 Heavy ARHM 1000 10/300 15 44 CR10,000
Note: Aircraft intending to fire the Heavy ARHM must be equipped with
Regional radar.

Page 87-- Akron Airship: The airship pictured in the illustration is the
Rio de Janeiro rigid dirigible. The Akron is pictured on page 9. The Rio
de Janeiro class specifications are:

Rio de Janeiro (TL-5) Rigid Airship

CraftID: Rigid Airship TL 5, MCr 16.15

Hull: 13333/33333, Disp. = 4000, Volume = 200,000 cubic meters.
Envelope Weight = 176 tons, Usable Lift = 66 tons, Airframe =
Simple.

Power: 10 X 4/10 Internal Combustion, .25 MW.,
Endurance = 103 hours, 20 minutes

Loco: Basic Propeller (Diesel), Thrust = 20 tons, Cruise = 90, Top =120
Agility = 0

Commo: Radio, Continental X 1

Control: Simple

Accom: Crew = 20 (3 Pilots, 3 Co-Pilots, 3 Navigators, 3 Engineers, 6
Flight
Engineering Technicians, 3 Stewards, 1 Cook) in 6 double and 3
quadruple staterooms, 30 passengers in 15 double staterooms.

Note: Crew listed above is sufficient to staff ship with three watches
every 24 hours. Flights of less than 12 hourswould only require one third
the number of flight crew, however number of stewards would remain the
same.

Other: Cargo = 11 tons, Fuel = 15,500 liters.

Comments: This giant of the air is the size of many star liners. It
carries its passengers in luxurious comfort on voyages up to 9,000
kilometers across Tech 5 worlds. Until the introduction of
transcontinental airliners at Tech Level 6, this andsimilar airships are
the only means of air transportation between the continents of many
worlds.
