Re: I need Information
I've been working with Marcello on this. One contact he has was a former DDR tank commander and it's becoming increasingly clear that for DDR BM-12/BK-14M may have been as good as it got though we are still looking into that. For "Warsaw pact" in general it's looking more and more that the best combination available up to at least the mid 1990's was BM-15/BK-14M and the next set of OOB's will reflect that once all the research is done. I think what's happened in the past is ammo has been doled out by date of issue rather than who got what and there are a LOT of things only the Russian had in that time period ( and beyond ) .If you look in the DDR OOB now ( and a lot of others ) you will see far more potent ammo that was actually used. In the case of DDR weapon 102 shows what would be close to a BM-29/ BK-27 combination that are nearly twice as powerful as was actually available.
OFF TOPIC... does anyone have any info on how the Russian Chemical teams are armed in reality.
