Polish and Bulgarian OOBs

[DRG]

NO I do NOT have time to comb through 200 pages of notes to find the reference to changes made to the Polish OOB but if you look back on this sub forum you won't have to go back far to find a multitude of posts about the Polish OOB and if you find something you disagree with PLEASE do contact the original poster.

You should first try the search function that the forum provides to find any posts on the subject of interest if you do not see it on an initial casual forum search. e.g. "Bulgaria" as a search term and limited to the SPMBT forum (to avoid WW2) gives a few hits, such as this 2010(?) thread: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...light=bulgaria

Also - having found any main thread on your OOB of interest, and having read that thoroughly, the best place for any new posts about it is appended to that "main" thread. (The thread on the Polish OOB is quite recent, only fallen to page 2 of the forum for example, and is quite large).

That may involve some "thread necromancy" when you resurrect a long dead thread, which is normally frowned on if it is simply a casual "me too!" type post, but if there is an existing "Bulgarian OOB" (say) thread of a decent length and you have something similar/related to append - then at least it keeps the queries collated.


NB - The search function is available on the tool-bar situated at the top of the forum titled search.

Sas Troop,
In the "Search" use "TWARDY" it'll show the most search results at 14 dating back to 8/05. As to ERAWA it's not true ERA, but, more like a Ceramic Tile add on armor with characteristics similar to NERA (But not as good.). The key difference is in the spacing/gap of the tiles vs standard ERA which does provide some added protection especially against tandem rounds.
Don had addressed the armor issue for the 5.5 release.

ERAWA-2...
Was an improvement to ERAWA-1 as tested in ref. 2 above. It is a dual layer material, however, it is still susceptible to KE rounds, which Poland hopes to solve with ERAWA-3. Due to the time, I have no information concerning it's development or current status. The PT-91M was delivered with ERAWA-2 to Malaysia.
