Eh, don't worry 'bout it, he probably meant another recipient.

Meanwhile,

P.D: That page is pretty outdated. Is there anywhere else where I can read about "new" vehicles such as the PPC Tank, the Huricane, the Alligator,etc.?
Yeah, that wiki is right about the former matter you mentioned (i.e., that you can find the biotank in ONS-MinusTankMeUp-)o(-Gorz-BigAl - the mino too), but just like you noted, it's a pretty old info repository. Specifically, I don't believe it's been updated in the past 3+ years, and as a result of that it has both a lot of outdated stats (the Dragon, Firetank, Arbalest, Aegis, Hammerhead, Wasp and a number of other vehicles have had several of their features or arsenals expanded/altered since that time), as well as over two dozen omissions in terms of (mostly) newer vehicles, like all of Wormbo's creations (Railgun Tank, the floating mattress armada [yeah, I'm still sticking with that :p], the flaming duo and, most recently, the Perses), Gorzakk's later vecs (Turtle, Alligator, Cerberus, the later batch of scorpion variants), a multitude of badger-variants (Stealth, Bio, Link, Ion, Mega, etc.), but also the majority of the EONS loadout (Bender, Paladin, Crusader and Locust hoverboard), a few more scorpion variants (Assault, Scorpius, Shock, Link, and others), Ion variants (team-coloured, PPC, both Linktank versions) as well as everything else (Hurricane, Nexus ML, Armadillo troop carrier, Lobreaker, Spider AG tank, etc.). The list can get pretty long pretty quickly.

All told, IMO whoever might be able to afford the time to compile the necessary info and undertake such an update (listing of newer maps that host each of the vecs included), would definitely be looking at a pretty sizable and unenviable project, I can tell you that much :).
