Greek Army TO&E and OOB errors
There are quite a few errors in units and formations of the Greek army. I'm starting with the major units issues.
Greek army never had:
- M4A3 Sherman tanks (only the M32A1 ARV variant)
- M20 and V150 armored wheeled vehicles
- M7 Priest SP howitzers
- 81mm mortars under armor (M4A1, M125), instead of them each mechanized company use one APC (M113, Leonidas etc) to carry two 81mm mortars and their crew.
ERRORS:
- M-24 light tanks used in armored units (like the other medium tanks) and cav/recon units up until the late 80s. Many of their turrets are still in use on varius Greek islands in fortified positions.
- Greek army removed the AT-4 launcher from every BMP-1, because it was very unreliable.
- Only a few MOWAG vehicles used by Greek police during the 70s-80s.
- Mirage F1CG used only as an interceptor, and never in close support missions (with bombs).
- The first aircrafts in SEAD role are the F-16 Block 40 armed with AGM-88 missiles (during the early 90s). Greek air force never used Shrike and Martel.
- There are many guided bombs and air-to-surface missiles missing, like Paveway II, AGM-31 JDAM, Scalp EG etc.
UNITS MISSING:
- M3 Stuart: used during the 40s and 50s
- M3 White Scout Car: used during the 50s and 60s
- M18 Hellcat: used during the 50s in tank destroyer battalions
- Staghound, Humber Mk.IV and Daimler Dingo armored cars: used up until the early 60s in recon units and "gendarmerie".
- C-27J Spartan transport airplane (deployed in 2005)
- Steyr AAMG: trucks with quad .50 AA Machine Guns
- 3.7 inch mountain guns, 5.5 inch howitzers and 20mm Breda AA Guns (WW II weapons used during the 40s and early 50s)
- Many armored versions of HMMWV (such as M1097, M1118 etc) and VBLs in various roles, like FO vehicles, AT (Kornet, Milan) and GL carriers
- An armed version of the training aircraft T-2 Buckeye (with bombs and rockets) which is used in close support role.
- Newer F-16 Block 52+ with better EW capability and modern guided missiles.
- Special purpose vehicles, such as commando jeeps and ATVs
- 120mm mortars (replacing old 4.2 inch in infantry battalions since 2008).
- Many infantry units, such as Carl Gustav and LRAC teams, airmobile squads, special para units (ETA), national guard etc.
There are many more errors as far as weapons are concerned, but also most of the formations must change. Also, because the most probable conflict in Greek borders would employ naval units, there are many interesting vessels (like assault, patrol and missile boats) that could be included.
I' am trying to finish two corrected versions of obat31 (one with few mistakes but compatible with WinSPMBT ver.4.5 and one completely revised with new and corrected units, formations and even icons).
