I think this problem only occurs between in 1980 and 1983. In 12/1983 unit 11 ends avaliablity.

I realize that it just ammo differences but still strange that a 2nd line should have newer ammo then standard formations.

It only a small window where it's a problem but it bothered me when playing a 1981 battle.

There IS NO PROBLEM ! the UPGRADE to that "gun" is the SABOT ammo and the CS tanks DO NOT USE SABOT so the "upgrade" applies to the reserve tanks becasue they got the sabot upgrade and the CS tanks, who's purpose is to provide infanrtry support NOT fight tanks don't get the "upgrade" becasue they don't get the shells that consitute the upgrade.

OK?

Re: OOB error reports

Guys I'm locking this thread because it's been around since the beginning and it's a PITA to wade through. Start a new one for East Germany.

Unit 718 - 2S3m - introduction was from 1978-1986 (currently available in the game from 01/88!), ammo loadout: 46 grenades (usually 4 of them HEAT);

Unit 39 - SFL M1974 (= 2S1): introduced 1981-1988 (currently 1976)

So there was no SP arty in the East German Army after 1988 ????

Re: Error report

So this thread has been 'unlocked again?

Anyway - with introduction I meant: delivers, entry into service... of course these systems (2S1 and 2S3) were available until the reunification.

Re: Error report

I originally locked it, if you bother to read what I actually wrote , because this one was getting too large and dealt with a lot of issues that had already been repaired in the EG OOB . I suggested a new "East German" thread could be started that dealt with more recent OOB issues but nobody started a new thread so I unlocked this one so I could ask this question because your original answer was ambiguous.

It is not common practice to refer to a unit with a range of "introduction" dates. It's not the least bit important for game purposes that units were bought over an 8 year time period and when you wrote that the 2S3m was "introduced" from 1978-1986 it sounded like that was the in and out of service dates. There are plenty of weapons systems that exist for less time or are taken OOS due to goverment cutbacks. All we are interested in is when they were first put into service and when they went out of service. It's not important that it took 8 years to buy them all and there is no reason to assume that .... "of course these systems (2S1 and 2S3) were available until the reunification" when I am given a range of dates

This issue has now been corrected in the EG OOB
