OOB-11 Russia

Russian medium artillery seems to get higher ROF than comparable other-world systems;

All 152mm howitzers I spotted get ROF 5, world standard seems to be 4, even the FH77A with advanced loading assistance machinery and sliding breech block instead of the slower and more common screw block gets 4...

Is there a reason why Russian medium tube artillery gets this advantage?

-PT-76B should be available until 2005 or 2010. http://www.army.lv/photos/1638.jpg A picture of a PT-76B in chechnya
-T-72BM, T-72BM1, and T-72BV should be available until 2020.
-T-80U and T-80BV should be available until 2020
-T-80UM1 Bars has not been adopted by the russian army, but perhaps can be added from 2006 or 2007 as a hypothetical one.
- http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl04-e.htm RPG-29 should be available from 1989
- http://www.shipunov.com/eng/str/grenades/rpg27.htm RPG-27 perhaps to replace RPG-18/22 in elite units such as naval infasntry and VDV starting in the 1990s

Run tests with different ROF for that weapon in the game and tell me what you discover

isn´t the t64 more modern than t72 ?

i read the t72 is cheaper version of t64
and the t80 is a better version of t64...
also i wonder why have t72 rocket launchers ?

i read that t72 has no rocket launcher ( maybe
added in later models ?? )....

also is it true that in soviet tank divs only
about 1/3 of the tanks had rocket launchers ?
( complete divs of these tanks were much to expensive )...

In game Soviet Tunguska have 2x2 30 mm AA guns but really have 2x30 mm guns

[JaM]

No, Tunguska has 4 guns.they are fitted in pair. It just look like it has just 2.

sorry, you right

The T-64, T-72 and the T-80 have been built by separate companies. The T-72 (Morozov Design Bureau)was less expensive and complicated than the T-64(Kharkov Transport Machine Plant). The T-64 has not been exported. Which could mean that it was technologically more advanced than the T-72. If I am not mistaken, the primary use for the T-64 was for the 'defense' of Russia. I am not sure if that means it was superior though.

The T-80 (Leningrad Kirov Plant)was developed to further the T-64. It is more an upgraded T-64 than a T-72. Sort of like the T-90 developed from the basis of the T-72. I really think that the T-64 was far more advanced than anything that NATO developed during that period.

There has been no further developments of the T-64, which numbers were close to 8000. Which could mean that it is being phased out like the M-60 tanks have, here in the US. I doubt it would be a front line tank.

There are no rocket launchers on any tanks.
