Re: Early HEAT for Soviet tanks...

From what I recall from discussions on tanknet BK-5 - BK-5M had rather different performance, it was something like 280mm - 380mm (BK-5M incorporated a wave shaper). BK-5 was also available earlier,...

Re: Ironically hilarious environmentally friendly, comfortable and safe BMP-1

They seem common sense modifications. They get rid of the Sagger launcher, useless by now for all practical purposes, and get rid of some crap. No point in breathing asbestos if there is some...

Re: Early HEAT for Soviet tanks...

Giving a look at the russian OOB, I see the problem. Probably to save the scarce weapons slots T-34s have been armed with antitank guns. Works ok with the D-44,not so great with the D-48.The only...

Re: Early HEAT for Soviet tanks...

As far as I have read the D-48 was an attempt at producing a lighter/better antitank gun than the BS-3 100mm. It uses a cartridge derived from that of the BS-3 ammunition but with an 85mm projectile....

Re: Early HEAT for Soviet tanks...

There was a BK-2M - penetration 300mm RHA IIRC - which was probablymeant for both D-44 guns and T-34/85s. The iraqis had some of them, so it got around. I imagine ballistc performace would have been...

North korean army vehicles pictures

Some pictures I have collected and I though might be useful for reference for icon makers etc.

Re: Should tank crews be better armed?

A problem I see with arming crews is that while currently a single crew in the OOB is sufficient, as pistol an hand grenades are generic and thus suffice for the 1946-2020 timeframe, an additional...

Re: M734 Multi-Option Fuze

I ran into this same problem a few years ago and as far I can tell there is no easy answer. Some detailed analysis can be found in a report titled "Iraq: Proximity Fuses found on 107mm Rockets" that...

Re: M734 Multi-Option Fuze

I remember reading a study on the effect on proxy fuzes a long time ago. IIRC the increase in lethality, compared to contact fuzes, varies widely depending on target disposition. The greatest...

Re: Treebursts

There are some artillery pieces equipped with proxy fuzes in the game. They are labelled as VT and have greater HE kill values.
Aside from that they do not differ from normal artillery, they create...

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

To be fair by 1996 the impact and ubiquitousness of JDAMs was yet to be appreciated. PGMs have gone from being a specialized weapon to be the standard attack munition.

Re: Bunker Firing Arcs

It is the same as any other unit as far I can tell, just it cannot turn around.It should be about 60° IIRC.

Re: Will Japanese soldiers fight to the end?

Pretty realistic I would say. Otherwise you can try as the soviets in the chinese theatre.

Re: Counter-Battery Process?

Supposedly it had good accuracy (though it should be noted that with artillery one should think both in terms accuracy and dispersion), it was expected to perform CB missions after all, but I cannot...

Re: Counter-Battery Process?

The Allies were afraid of the Iraqi arty because they had base bleed ammunition and smooth bore arty with longer range capability. One of the reason's Gerald Bull was assassinated in 1990 for his...

Re: Anomaly reports

It depends on the emplacement costruction. In many cases they were mounted on rotating turrets with good fields of fire.
These for example could train on 300°....

Re: Anomaly reports

IIRC they kept some heavy caliber guns in coastal batteries for quite a long time after that.



Well it depends on which type of 3inch it actually is. It can go from WW2 style guns firing 15-20...

Fixes for the north korean OOB

This should fix nearly all remaining issues, at least as far ground units.

Re: Fixes for the iraqi OOB

Carry capacity is somewhat an abstract affair. For example in real life you could split an infantry squad between two armored Humwees, in the game it is not possible.

Re: Fixes for the iraqi OOB

No idea. I would suspect it is just a carryover from polish OOB or whatever other OOB the OT-64 were picked from. The armored threat on the iranian front was less than in Europe to warrant such,...

Re: Fixes for the iraqi OOB

Nope. But it gives it a bit of extra flexibility game wise and since I have seen only limited photographic evidence of iraqi SU-100s

Fixes for the iraqi OOB

Some leftovers and some related to new developments in the iraqi army. Bar something I missed or new develoments this should be enough for the ground units.

Re: Anomaly reports

It is believed to be used from prepared emplacements, as it requires an external power supply. Likely associated to radar targeting and similar gear. So perhaps it might be justifiable.
