OBAT37 - Czech army OOB updates/suggestions

[Marek_Tucan]

For the Designers (praise be upon them) to see, and judge of worthy/unworthy to bother with in the run-up to next version...

Czech Province Reconstruction Team that just deployed to A-stan (Loghar province) would is equipped with 20+ armoured M1114 HMMWVs.

Vehicles are armed with either 30mm AGL or 12.7mm HMG (I think DShK but not for sure, will report) and 7.62mm MMG (interesting - it's going to be PKT, not the standard vz.59 GPMG). While the number is small, they're OTOH in an area where something is most likely to happen so adding them might be a good idea?

Czech Army is aslo planning a purchase of four (yes, you read correctly, whole four!!!) MRV patrol cars, most likely candidate is Dingo AFAIK but there's some mess around it.

Czech Army also received Swedish RBS-70 MkII Bolide SAM's.

Pandur deal seems to have trouble, but it'd seem that they will be eventually bought, just with significantly less Pandur-based support vehicles.

Also, back to light combatants, our special forces in A-Stan used and use armed Land Rover patrol vehicles:

Armament: Either DShK or AGS-17, plus pintle mounted PKB.

Land Rovers are used also in standard variants as utility cars etc. Both LR90 and 110, variants soft top, hard top and Station Wagon.

There is also locally developped armored variant but dunno whether in any use:

Last but not least, I'd suggest these two changes to existing units/weapons:

1) To my knowledge, Czechoslovakia never used ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 machinegun complets, instead vz.53 quad DShK was used:

EDIT: Units: ZPU-2 086, ZPU-4 087, weapons: ZPU-2 055, ZPU-4 233

2) Same with ZU-23-2, Czechoslovakia used towed 30mm vz.53 AA twin of local production:

Unit: 088, Weapon: 057

To my knowledge, Czechoslovakian ZU-23's are only used in Scenario 138: Consider Yourself a Hero.

Hope it helps and sorry for a long post flooded with links

EDITed for one misplaced link and unit/weapons number.
