Default Re: Polish OOB2 corrections/suggestions (v.6)

730 DMntd Troopers, 731 Cavalry Squad - armament should be short #144 wz.29 carbine instead of long rifle ("wz.29 rifle" wasn't existing BTW).

But I've noticed another problem: #144 wz.29 carbine and #173 wz.98 carbine (600mm barrel) have correct lower range 8, than #178 wz.98 rifle (740 mm barrel). But currently they are handicapped against other nations, because German Kar.98k had the same 600mm barrel, SMLE had 640 mm, M1 Garand had 610 mm, and they all have range 10.

I don't think, that a range of these well-established rifles should be reduced, so maybe these carbines should have range 10, and a range of long rifles should be increased to 12? (like LMGs, which had barrels around 600mm BTW)

It concerns also weapons like: #112 8mm Lebel (800mm), Soviet OOB Mosin M91/30 (730mm), French OOB 231 Mle 16 Rifle (800mm).
Soviet OOB carbines 144, 178 have range 8, but they had only 508mm barrel.


736, 737 Bicycle Squad - armament as above

793, 796 Bren Carrier, Ammo Carrier - armament should be probably Bren, if they deserve MG armament at all (793 is used only by mortar section). In other case, it should be .303 rifle, or SMG.
