Problems with the current Russian OOB (#11).

That's what the regular tanks are for. CS tanks are for dealing with situations requiring HE

CS tanks usually have some HEAT as the A/T ammo since HEAT is dual-purpose against grunts (beyond the 4 kept in hand) and is also good versus bunkers etc. Some CS tanks may have sabot or AP though, its up to the particular OOB designer.

You could always make your own version in Mobhack, then run the oob cost calculator on it. For games against yourself that is fine - but if playing PBEM you will need to agree it with your opponent and send him a copy of the modified OOB if he does (IIRC, been ages since I looked into the mechanics of PBEM).

But CS tanks as Don says, are not really there to deal with other tanks - use the regular version for that, with C/S hanging back to be wheeled forwards for any grunt-punching duties.

May be instead of HEAT then. T-64A CS has 12 HEAT ammo but they often are useless against strong anti-HEAT armour of NATO tanks. Close support tank T-64B1 (unit 683) has 4 sabot but T-64A is deprived.
