One more confirmation of Rosomak squad - a picture that was posted recently on one fb group about Polish military. There was also posted an information, that squads really have 5 men, with an option for 6th man from reserve forces... :( Of course, we should stick with a bigger number.
(Just to explain, the first vehicle has 7 men, with platoon commander and radio operator. "Załoga" is a crew.) There are no snipers in a platoon indeed, they can be assigned from company level. |
Re: Poland OOB
Pibwl, as far as I know - and I just asked a friend serving there :P - they do train combat with 6 dismounted men, but in administrative practice 6th guy should be coming from NSZ (Narodowe Siły Rezerwowe - like quasi National Guard) assets.
Don't ask me why, but theoretically dismounts could be 6 or 7 men, as Squad Leader may elect to dismount with his troops instead of manning the Rosomak command. |
Re: Poland OOB
Meanwhile, random topic change from Ukraine matters - let's head back to the '80s
PART 1/2 I have recently stumbled at this very decent T-55 upgrades article by people who clearly know how it all works: http://opisybroni.pl/t-55am-merida/ I am not sure if Google Translate will do, so let me roughly translate fragments that are of meaning to me (and honestly, I should have translate it all!): Quote:
Quote:
Summary: - Effective protection of T-55AM - including polish T-55 "Merida" upgrade - should be actually higher than it currently is; - One needs to think what to do with a gun sleeve area that was an obvious weak spot in protection; - Current T-55 Merida in-game effective protection is: Steel hull: 28cm Steel turret: 33cm Anti-HEAT hull: 33cm Anti-HEAT turret: 35cm Thus, probably should be: Steel hull: 30cm Steel turret: 35cm (this includes the weakspot, otherwise about 40cm) Anti-HEAT hull: 45cm Anti-HEAT turret: 45cm or about 40cm (including the weak spot?) - What could be done with side armor? Increase anti-HEAT to about ~17cm to increase the work of angled shots with those rubber skirts? - Said update was quite universal - it should probably be applied not only to Merida, but all other T-55AM upgrades, mostly the DDR one and Czech Kladivo program; - The general idea is that it seems upgraded T-55s had the possibility to actually fend off TOW strikes (mean standard TOW, not I-TOW or TOW-2). I believe it should be reflected in the game, but not without taking the weakspot into account; - Note on the side: about 650 polish T-55s were brought up to this standard, but formally only three divisions were listed with this tank. In other words, even in 1989 the T-55M and T-55U should technically still be available for Poland as line tanks, not just reserve ones as they are now; |

PART 2/2
Now, the same articles I mentioned in the previous post also does touch the idea of ammunition used in polish T-55 upgrade: Quote:
- More modern Soviet rounds relied on better flight stabilization rather than increased penetration. Thus perhaps if you wished to include such a change, the gun accuracy should be improved, but not penetration data |
Re: Poland OOB
As for T-55AM Merida you're probably right, I didn't want to research details there...

so maybe 22 --- maybe 25 ( maybe ) What is in my OOB now, and that is a formation with 3 Rosomaks and one BWP that includes a 60mm mortar and 40mm AGL for the BWP is ( excluding the vehicle crews ) a troop count of 26 in all four vehicles. Be happy with that. If not, use MOBHack to adjust your OOB however you like once the update is released ( whenever that might be ) |
