Guys,
I worked this over many times and this is the result: The modified Jaegerkompanie, 1/1979-12/2004. I added the new units and formations at the end of the existing OOB to make it more obvious. I changed in-and out of service dates for the old Jaeger formations to avoid confusion but there are still some overlaps - mid-80s till 90s, however, should be fine.
I had to play around with using different unit classes for the company commander, platoon commander and support platoon commander but now it should work out that every platoon and company has the right commander.
I got 3 versions now: Jaegerkompanie - without transports, Jaegerkompanie(mot) and Jaegerkompanie(mot)* - the latter has its 12.7mm MGs mounted on the transport platoons' Pinzgauers as proposed. Be careful to use the one with sMG - I also added one with a MG74 but that may find some use later for the reconnaissance units. I crewed them up with 3 men but added no armor or other things - maybe I should add a radio though, will do so later.
I made couple of changes that appeared to be practical to me - the mot. support platoon (sJgZg mot) now got 2 Haflinger and 2 trucks instead of 1 Haflinger, 1 Pinzgauer 4x4 and 2 trucks - it is over-supplied with transports anyway and still is now... you have the luxury to be able to have each of its 4 units carried by its own vehicle...
Questions @Siddi + other changes made:
- Names ??
- mortar squads: 1 mortar per squad? - needs 6 men as u said or can we do with 4 as is?
- MPi69: appears as sidearm of several support units but was AFAIK never used as such, only for Jagdkommando - I therefore started exchanging it for StGs
- Rocket Launcher: 2 versions are in the game - 130mm and 128mm - phased out long ago but when? Correct designation?
- Size of A/T teams: generally was 0 for 2-man teams but for our 4-man team I changed it to 1
- gradual improvement of vision, fire control and rangefinder ratings of observers (now called BeobTrp) and snipers?
- PzF3 appears in our OOB from 1990 I think... that sounds like a joke, I was trained how to use Miniman in the late 90s...
- I marked several units that should probably be deletedwith a "-" before their name and partly re-classed them to make them unusable - such as Centurion tanks, etc
- introduction of cluster ammo for artillery? Phasing-out dates for old artillery weapons?
- GHN45 will need to be eliminated and changed for M-109 as off-map artillery
- made a couple of other changes, will keep a record on them, but no need to discuss now
Alright, Siddhi please check it out and tell me if I can go on like this! It took some time to get used to the Mobhack but now I am on it and could do the other units pretty easily as well...
