Polish OOB 5.5

[DRG]

Michal

Please explain what I am to make of reports like this.....

019 PT-76B - variant B was bought in 1962 (now: 1/77) [Poligon 5/2010]. Should be used until 1975 (now: 12/96), then replaced with new variant with DShK and improved vision. Ammo load as above.

and then this

702 Marynarka PT-76 - should be named just PT-76B. This name makes no sense (literally "Navy PT-76"), for no Polish amphibian tanks were used by the Navy - landing units belonged to the Army. It should be Polish-modified variant with added DShK AAMG and vision=15-20, used from 1972 (now 1/75) [Poligon 5/2010]. Withdrawn by 1992 (now: 12/96). Machine gun should be #64 PKT instead of #62 SGMT (introduced in PT-76B since 1967 - though it's actually worse weapon in the game...). Icon should be ordinary green 2680, as color photos confirm, not grey.

In the first case you are suggesting unit #19 "Should be used until 1975 ....then replaced with new variant with DShK and improved vision.


OK one ends 12/75 the next with the DShK and improved vision starts 1/1976... that seems simple enough but then you say #706, the Navy PT-76, shouldn't be a Navy PT-76 and should be green not grey ( OK. fair enough so far but I'm hoping Blazej will show up to defend his OOB ) but then you say it should be a PT-76B and it should start 1972 with the improved vision and the DShK and that contradicts what you wrote in the line above saying the improved version with the improved vision and the DShK should start after 1975.

So what's correct Michal ?? 1972 or 1976 ??? You've already quibbled about a 2 year difference in the start date of Unit 1 then a few lines later give me inconsistent info for virtually the same vehicle. I'm happy to make the corrections to imporve the OOB but we're not off to a great start here as you told me to start one new unit at two different start dates

Please fully review your "corrections" for inconsistencies like this before posting them.

Thank you
