Re: Polish OOB 5.5
Artillery - rest
500 76mm Battery - armament should be ordinary #122 76.2mm ZiS-3 FG. Current #241 76mm L51 obr36 was pre-war Soviet gun F-22, not used by Poland (this weapon is useless).
502 152mm Battery (46-49, D-1) - D-1 howitzers were used only from early 1950s [according to J. Kajetanowicz's book]. It should be changed to 152mm ML-20 gun-howitzers, used from 1946 (as my comments on unit #177)
541 M77 Dana - should be named just Dana, eventually Dana wz.77, but it's worse option (M77 is Western designation, in Poland it is designated "SP-gun-howitzer wz.77" - 1977 Pattern, but "wz.77" doesn't make much sense alone).
Dana's gun isn't D-20 - weapon #111 should be renamed to wz.77 or M.77 Howitzer. According to Polish and Czech sources, range is 18,7 km, using extended range ammo - 20 km (now range 214).
547 M77 Dana+ - name as #541. Is AP meant to be cluster munition? In fact, it doesn't use any - and won't be in predictable future (the only cluster rounds commissioned so far are for 122mm rockets and 98mm mortars)
552 2S1 Gozdzik - apart from a cool camo (applied from mid-90s, not 105), the only difference from unit #39 is radio 91 - it should have 90 as well - it'll remain basic Polish SP-gun until 120. There shouldn't be AAMG. I suggest to make a border between these units at 94/95 years.
759 Krab Platoon - the first three-gun Krab platoon was made possible from mid-2010 (third gun made). There's a hope, that by 2013 there'll be another three at last... Radio code should be 3 IMO. There's no AP ammo as for now.
760 2S7 Platoon - used from 1986 until spring of 2006 [Poligon nr 06/2009] (now: 1/87-12/120) (- like comments for unit #38). Radio code should be 1 or 3 (8 guns only).
761 M77 Platoon - name should be Dana Platoon.
762 M77 Platoon+ - as unit #547 - no AP bomblet ammo.
