Re: Some thoughts on Soviet OOB. And questions.
"There is a little mistake in OOBs - some CS T-55 and T-62 modifications have Arena (or some other counter-missile stuff) installed, which is already suspicious by itself, but it gets even more suspicious with the fact that they are aviable in 80s."
T-55s of the naval infantry were the first tanks to be fitted with Drozd, so if you see a T-55 with
counter-missile system before any other tank it is correct.
"If I'm not mistaken, in RL, they are much easier to carry and use, as they cannot be reloaded."
Well, the basic idea is that each of them is a weapon in itself, so every soldier has antitank capabilities instead of having a single RPG gunner in the squad. As far as weight goes I would guess that all else (meaning range, penetration and stuff) being equal a launcher and a bag of rounds would weigh less than the sum of the weights of an equivalent number of disposable launchers.
