Ukrainian Marine Corps
 

Ukrainian Marines were part of the navy until May 2023 but since then they are as separate Service Command

Either way there have been Ukrainian Marines since Ukraine's inception

We don't have them in the OOB and I want to change that.

I have found a very little bit of info on unit structure that would be applicable to the game but "little" is the most important part of that sentance

If anyone finds anything, post a link. Platoon and Company structure is all we need

This is as close to anything that I have found and it's not much and nothing to do with Marines

Re: Ukrainian Marine Corps
 

At a guess they're nothing more then army troops with amphibious training and MAYBE amphibious vehicles (probably former Soviet) replacing those normally used.

I can't find a thing about them either.

Re: Ukrainian Marine Corps
 

I found the following:

In the Equipment and armament Marine Corps Ukraine section it lists some equipment types.
https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...l-infantry.htm

There is barely anything out there.

Re: Ukrainian Marine Corps
 

As it goes this is a long time problem building OOBs... Sometimes all that can be done is guess based on little real info

What was interesting about
https://www.battleorder.org/ua-graphics

was the subtle differences between the three squads in the mech plt

all have a RPG
two have a sniper
only one has a MG but it also has a sniper
all have one rifle that is GL capable

Roughly
Squad one is "medium" and does have a sniper
Squad two is "Heavy" as it has the MG
Squad three is " light" as it does not have a sniper

The issue as always is getting that to work with the 4 slots

(1)
Rifle
RPG
GL
Sniper
(2)
Rifle
LMG
RPG
Sniper
(3)
Rifle
RPG
GL

...... theoretical ATM

So go with that for now. Update once something more concrete comes to light if it ever does.

They are Mech Units who get their feet wet more often

The one difference it seems is that there are no conscripts in the Marine units so that might justify a slight bump up of EXP and MOR

Re: Ukrainian Marine Corps
 

So that makes things a bit easier for setup, right, given that the above seems to give you a list of what they have and we already have info on what they have for the unit breakdown for mech units. Might make it easier to go forward; best to toss some examples out and we can get them a run-through or something.

Re: Ukrainian Marine Corps
 

Given the "quality" of their amphibious vehicles ... frequently I'm sure.

While I can't speak to the overall EXP/MOR of Ukrainian forces just having folks that have (probably) seen the elephant or at least received more training (basic and/or post basic) has to have a noticeable effect on their performance.

May I ask where you found this information? I'd like to look it over myself, and see what else may be available.
