I guess this brings up a good idea that I haven't seen elsewhere in the Realism mod thread... Wouldn't it make more sense to create a "building" called "Civil Defenses" or "Civil Defense Warning System" (with Radio so that people can use them more effectively) after Gunpowder. You could also...

The abrams has a range of 300 miles It takes 504 Gal of diesel gas. That's .59 miles per gallon. Or close to 2 gallons per mile. The M60 was about 3 gallons per mile... <insert remark about checking facts before speaking here> http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/cv/tank/M1.html Reb
