Default Re: Polish OOB 5.5

Few misc comments on weapons and formations:

Weapons:

005 wz.89 Onyks SMG - short series was made, but it wasn't finally adopted. It could be replaced with PM-84P SMG (Uzi-like design, firing 9mm Para) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM-84_Glauberyt
It can substitute for Onyks in all units, from which Onyks hasn't been removed (until they are reviewed next time)

006 wz/43/52 SMG - correct name would be wz.43/52 SMG. But it's better to rename it PPS wz.43 SMG - it would cover both standard folding stock wz.43 and wooden stock wz.43/52 (horribly clumsy looking weapon).

007 wz.88/89 Tantal - correct name is only wz.88 Tantal (I don't know hence "89") - maybe better "wz.88 Tantal AR"

053 7.62 SGMT AAMG - Soviet designation of AAMG variant was SGMB.

033 7.62 SG43 MMG - maybe "7.62mm SG43 MMG", in accordance with others?

149 AT-2 Falanga-M1- useless

Unit 124 Mi-24D should use ordinary #147 9M17 Falanga (like in Russian OOB) instead of this one.

150 AT-2 Falanga-M - useless

167 9M120 Ataka - certainly useless

198 1000lb bomb - should be renamed 500 kg Bomb

216 98mm M98 Mortar - according to Polish sources and MoD page, it has range 400-7000 m (8-140 - now 2-92)

234 9mm PM63 SMG - it has specifications of a short rifle (range 4), while it was small and inefficient 9mm Makarov SMG. Range should be 2 and kill 4 (like Czech Skorpion) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM-63_RAK

241 76mm L51 obr36 - useless

Michal
