Re: Polish OOB 5.5
O/M artillery
171 155mm Section - fiction. M777 is not used as for now, and not in plans. Class is inappropriate BTW.
174 122mm Section (46-89, A-19) - correct picture is 36142 or 41091. Maybe it should be named "122mm Gun Sec" to differentiate from howitzers? And maybe it should be rather Heavy Artillery? (it was considered long-range gun then).
176 152mm Section (50-64, D-1) - last date should be 12/65 (12/64) to avoid gap before unit #186. But in fact I can see no difference between the two.
177 152mm Section (65-103) - D-20 howitzers weren't used in Poland. It should have ML-20 Gun-How, used from 1950 (in 3-gun unit) until late 1990s. Picture eg. 36141 or 29401 or 32015
Maybe it should be named 152mm Gun Sec.
ML-20 weapon (eg. weapon #239 from Czech OOB) could replace one of identical weapons #114 or #240 D-1 (and all D-1 units in the game should use a remaining one). Weapon #111 D-20 is used for Dana Sp-howitzer.
178 155mm Section+ - fiction. Not used as for now, and no firm plans.
180 100mm Support - Polish ships with 100mm guns were used only from 7/47 until 1967 (until a damage of the destroyer Blyskawica's machinery). Before 1947 there were no ships with real naval guns available (not counting allies). It would demand change in formations, if we want to correct it.
181 130mm Support - Polish ships with 130mm guns existed only between 1958-1986 (now: 46-120).
182 76mm Support - ships with 76mm gun are used from 1/84 only (1/70) - and only single naval guns are available after 2003.
186 152mm Section (66-99, D-1) - used until early 90s only (say, 1992 - now: 12/99) [not present in Polish Military Equipment book from 1998]
190 122mm Section (66-103, M30) - A photo of Polish late M30 howitzer is 29285 (with new tyres).
Rest later.
