Re: Uk's MBT-LAW

Pat, WEG is a very useful document for gaming purposes, but it contains only open source data. It specifically says that it's not a product of the US Intelligence community. So, it contains no...

Re: Uk's MBT-LAW

The APILAS has a 112 mm warhead, which means that the shaped charge cone diameter is probably somewhat larger than in the NLAW. That might more or less cancel out the fact that the APILAS is older...

Re: SP and SPAA Developments

It appears to be a locally designed upgrade instead of any of the Russian upgrades. New radar and digital FC.



That probably means that it has a laser rangefinder and TV camera with a thermal...

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Mirage 2000-5F, not Mirage 5F... The former is roughly the French equivalent of the F-16C, the latter an obsolescent 1960s attack aircraft based on the Mirage IIIE.

Re: Japanese OOB05 v.2014

The 37mm gun on the Renault NC was the Sogekiho, which apparently had no type designation:

Re: APC Development and related topics.

I don't have time to look for more references you already provided, but I agree with you on the BTR-90. From what I have read it has not been accepted by the Russian Army and it appears that it's no...

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

I don't think it would make them "supersoldiers". With a LRF hit probability against stationary targets will become much higher, but hitting moving targets with low FC value is still difficult, which...

Re: Helo News game related.

Which is pretty much what they will do in real life, as shown by the (in)famous incident during OIF. Any more than light damage and an attack helo is a mission kill. The same incident also showed...

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

Sorry, real life kept me from answering to this thread earlier. About the the Musti: the warhead is not technically dual charge, but instead it has a hard steel penetrator cap that will trigger at...

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

More tank stuff:

I increased the HE kill value of PKT machine guns to 8. The PKT has a higher rate of fire (750-800 rpm) than infantry PK(M). Any reputable source will confirm that.

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

Thank Pat. However, I must point out that the XA-203 does not have a TI sight but just an Image Intensifier (albeit a modern one). So Vision 30 is the correct choice.

Infantry stuff:

As I wrote earlier, changed many sections to mixed bolt-action and SMG armament. Some still retain SMG or bolt-action only due to limited number of weapon slots.

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

AA stuff:

Fixed 7.62 M/31-40 AAMG HE kill (double barrel with 900 rpm for each barrel) and upped FC to 2 (as far as iron AA sights go, it had a fairly sophisticated one).

Added 7.62 M/32 AAMG....

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

And now for the AFV notes:

The situation of the T-26 tanks is problematic. These vehicles were declared obsolete already in July 1944 and took large losses in summer 1944. They should really be...

Re: AA Radar Question

Okay, I agree that sounds promising. I am not for making sweeping changes just for "getting it right" unless it has no significant bearing on actual gameplay. Don might disagree I suppose, since I...

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

Quick note about radio values: medium tanks and MBTs have too low radio values. Even during WW2 all medium tanks and the StuG IIIG assault guns in Finnish service had radios, mostly because all...

Re: AA Radar Question

Yes, I agree it's possible that even with the current low FC values radar AAA might be better than non-radar AAA in most cases. However, the whole point is that it should be at least as good if not...

Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion

Yes, quite right, I wrote that before thinking about the ranging rifles and didn't check if it they were modeled. So, I apologize for my ignorance.

Re: AA Radar Question

Okay, that's what I originally thought and it's really the only way it makes sense.

So, to put things together, the only "problem" we have is that Radar AAA has too low FC-100 almost throughout...

Re: AA Radar Question

Ghetto edit: I meant I2 (image intensifier) devices with reflector sights. IIR means Imaging InfraRed, which is not the same thing.

Re: AA Radar Question

I thought EW rating only affects missiles and AA guns with radar. Logically it should be so. However, if it isn't, I agree that purely optical AAA systems should have a very high EW rating, as should...

Re: AA Radar Question

So basically the OOBs are full of radar guided AA guns with the equivalent of FC 1, which is typically allocated to WW2 style AAMGs with a simple ring sight? And nobody has noticed that before? I...
