This is, I think, an interesting point that you inadvertently raise. The current 240mm rounds are available only in HE variety but I overlooked that an incendiary one is available according to Jane's, I will research it further.
It would certainly be a worthwhile addition to compensate for other north korean deficiencies especially as the P'okpoong-ho, one of the very few remaining high tech assets, will have to be toned down considerably.
You will probably have to fight in a way not much different from what the north koreans would fight, mainly with infantry, special forces and tons of artillery; armor would be used in a limited and careful way, as without TI and with insufficient armor and firepower tanks would become tracked coffins really fast. |
Would be nice to have the extra firepower, I checked after what Imp said, I think he means the Smerch MRL 300mm with 90 kill 12 warhead, I have a M1991 240mm 43/9 .
Would be a shame to lessen the Pokpung ho as its quite formidable but if its for realism then fair play.
Its the only tank that can take a hit and has decent vision. But its expensive and I have only got 4, having built up the force with the leftover repair points, I used Harder to simulate the lack of spares and NK economy. The Chonma Hos have a decent gun but get ripped apart with one shot from a K1 and the light tanks are only for ranged infantry fighting if there is no anti tank around.
Its been a good game, a bit of a challenge. Its all infantry like you say with the Light inf being my favourite all round unit. Basically I use plenty of arty, then light inf and just use rifle sections to hold ground and the Fagot ATGM. The snipers with 40 vision are useful and Im a big fan of the Koksan SPA. Tanks are just used to peep over the hill when the enemy is suppressed and have a crack at their armor. Using the Hinds and Paras to terrorise the enemy arty behind the lines.
Ive had 5 battles so far against US and SK, all marginal victories.
