he doesn't know, and then fail to answer the question? He's
a nice bloke. I've got an interview with him I'm going to put up
soon. But he's been... controversial, especially recently with the
whole nazi/socialist thing.

upgun the M41 Bulldog, what would its likely designation have been?
Would it just have become the M41A4 or would have have gotten an
'E' designation first? My guess would be a new A
designation. E designations seem to be for major structural changes
to vehicles. Based on my observations A versions tend to be
component changes and E versions tend to involve changes to major
systems or structural components (power train, hull, different
turret, etc). Short of having access to the documents that define
what means what insofar as naming conventions go I can only guess
based on my observations of what they've previously done.
For example, if the Army decided they wanted to change the engine
over to a diesel my guess is it would have been a M41A3E2 or
something like that. The_Chieftain: My guess would be a new A designation. E designations seem

E is "experimental variant". A is "approved variant"
So there would have been an E designation when the vehicle
was in testing. Once the system was approved for use and type
classified, it would be changed to an A.
