The unit you are referring to is MT-LB/2B9 unit number 591. The version in the Ukranian OOB is set up with Heat shells. The Russian and Hungarian versions are now set up the same way as well.

Formation 265, Formations 266 "Vasilek" it is classified as " Light AT-gun ".

I suggest to make a class "Mortar".
As it first of all a mortar.

For example, in artillery of a battalion there are mortars the battery, where 6 Mortars 2B14 "Podnos" and 3 Mortar 2B9 "Vasilek" (strukture MSD-92).

P.S.: MT-LB + 2B9 "Vasilek" used in Afgan war.
P.P.S.: BMP-1 + 2B9 "Vasilek" Manual alteration + 5 pages Cool Photo Armour in Afgan War.

There are two versions of the Vasilek weapon in the current OOB. One (used on the MT-LB) has a range of 5km and can be used for indirect fire. Weapon number 29 has a shorter range and represents only direct-fire, line of sight fire (using HEAT shells). Unit 588 represents this use of the Vasilek as direct support only.

It's one of the limitations of the game that has to be worked around. As I mentioned, the Ukrainian OOB has had the HEAT rounds assigned to the MT-LB/2B9 for who knows how long. Probably since it was designed. So far, it's not been an issue. Extreme range LOS are rarely a serious issue because it's rare to get a clear shot to the extreme range so mostly everything "works" I'll run some tests with this on the weekend and then decide what to do.

" ...the 82-mm 2B9 "Cornflower"... "
And Tulpan, Gvozdika, Akatsiya. The Russian gives flower-power a new meaning.
