Re: Polish OOB 5.5
To continue with Inf AT
223 C Gustav Team - used from 1997 (now 1/100) [source: nTW 6/2005]. Rare weapon - used only by special forces and, from 2001, airmobile forces.
It has single Heat pen=50 range=9 in the game, but there are used tandem Heat rounds FFV 751 (ERA+500mm, range 450m) and ordinary FFV 551 (400mm, range 700 m).
370 PTRD ATR Team - withdrawn in 1948 due to limited value (now 12/49) [Poligon 2/2011]
371 PF Team - a small number of preserved original wartime Panzerfaust were commissioned to use in limited numbers from 1950 only [Poligon 3/2011] - although, in case of war, it would be logical to decide to utilize them earlier. They were designated in Poland as PG-49 - withdrawn by the end of 1952 (now: available 1/46-12/49). Maybe unit should be named "PG-49 Team" or "PG-49 (PF) Team"?
A Polish copy of Panzerfaust was produced in a small series, named Pc-100, used in 1953-57 [source: Poligon 4/2011]. Maybe there should be second unit, with the same weapon, differing in unit's name only?
372 RPG-2 Team - used in Poland only from 1953 (now: 1/50) [Poligon 4/2011]
379 Anti-Tank Team (1946-55) - RKG-3 grenade was post-war development - according to Russian Wikipedia, from 1950. But there's no sign, that it was used in Poland. Polish Military Equipment book mentions only WWII-era RPG-43 grenades, with 75mm penetration. More correct picture is 00351.
