obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

Hi all
I created new oob for Czechoslovakia so you can look at it.
It has also its own picklist.

Re: obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

What about a list of the changes you did to the OOB so all the guys can give their feedback? Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'll have a look at this at some point, but will especially check out the command vehicles.

In Sp, command vehicles (if placed e.g. in line tank units) are a really bad idea. They confer no benefits, and have the disadvantage that they tell a human opponent precisely which vehicle to kill first. It is like hanging a big "kick me!" notice on the unit http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

I added command vehicles from one reason. Sometimes I start campaign and as a core units I buy companies of some historical unit (for example I go to war as a commander of 1st Tank Regiment in 1980) and than (only against computer) I will use these command vehicles. Just because it looks nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif and AI will never use it (except BRM-1K).
Another story is BRM-1K which is command vehicle in recon company. This is different vehicle than others in recon unit and if it is targeted at first - than BPzV has greater firepower to response.

Re: obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

I have one, T-72M4CZ has different front armor than T-72M1,Front hull 42/51(M4CZ),50/55(M1).but T-72M4 is just modernisation of older T-72M1, so values should be at least similar,but not lower, (T-72M1 should have 42/51FH), same thing is in Poland OOB.(Slovak T-72M2 has same values like T-72M1.)

All Czechoslovakian T-72 were build in slovakia (ZTS Martin) so values of base armor must be same for same versions.

Re: obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

Hi JaM
You are right. Czechoslovakia produced 3 variants of T-72. Basic T-72 with 2A46 gun with 39 ammo, laser RF and without sideskirts and smokegrenade launchers. This variant was in service since 1981.
Then was produced T-72M with same armor as T-72 but with 44 ammo for gun, sideskirts and smokegrenade launchers. I don't know when this variant was fielded. Technical documentation come to Czechoslovakia at the end of year 1981.
The last version was T-72M1 with same FCS. Main difference is only in armor (front hull and new turret).

T-72M4 is modernisation of T-72M1 so basic armor should be same.

Re: obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

I have a issue in a UC. in 1986 the Czech units are being like Romulains.. they are invisible and the RPG-75 uses the T-72CZ icon and info screen.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Re: obat37 Czechoslovakia
 

Is this using the Czech MOD OOB or the stock OOB's??? They look fine in my game
