Swiss OOB
 

Formations 304 305 Mech Infantry & Formations 280, 281 Mech Grenadiers

The squads are to big for their transports

Re: Swiss OOB
 

..... on the list.........

I think the wrong infantry unit was used...................should be unit 125

Re: Swiss OOB
 

...or change the numbers of poeple in unit 105, 348-350 and 306-308 to 9.

PzGrenadier using the tracked APCs (mostly)

Re: Swiss OOB
 

..... that affects all infantry coys making them 30 % smaller. ... seems like a big hit just to get them into transports. PzGrens serve the purpose

Swiss OOB - Staghound
 

I digged out some Information about the 64 Staghounds (UNIT 39) the Swiss Military bought in 1951.
They were never armed or operational.
Except ONE with a 4.7cm AT-Gun and two MG at 1954, ONE with a 9cm immitation gun and and three more running withouth any equipement.
The rest basicly disapreard... some turrets were later used as bunker and others as hard Targets for Training.

The source how ever is only in German - though relaiable - the army Museum in Thun.

Suggestion:
Option 1 Leave them in; but Change the main gun to 47mm PzAbwK and remove the AAMG - avaiable from about 1954 - mid 90s
Option 2 remove them from the SWISS oob (my favourite)

Re: Swiss OOB
 

Option 2 works for me but what about unit 962 ?

Re: Swiss OOB
 

ah there it is (47mm)...:doh:
missed it

Option 2 as well?

Re: Swiss OOB
 

Well........... there was only one.......... if that one saw a lot of use then maybe leave it in but if it sat in the garage the whole time I would say remove it and I will fix the formations

Re: Swiss OOB
 

It was used only for Demonstration and testing.

But with so much equipement in Switzerland,
nothing has actually seen any activ (and with activ I mean fighting) duty (luckily)... ;)

Re: Swiss OOB
 

OK, "Demonstration and testing." does not qualify as "active service" They will be removed
