Default Re: New Russian OOB (or SPR OOB)

OK but that does sound like a guess for those formations but I understand, sometimes we have to guess too.

On an unrelated matter can you site the source you used to give the 107mm B-11 RCL in your OOB a range of 30 ? We don't use maximum ranges for those weapons. If we did the US M40 would get considerably more than it has now. I know that sometimes finding info on weapons is difficult because not every source uses the same terminology ( or the standard they use varies from source to source ) but we aim to use "Practical" or "effective" range for things like the B-11 and I haven't found anything that indicates the B-11 had a 1500m "Practical" or "effective" range but if you do I'm interested in reading about it.

The info I have on the B-11 is..

Range (m):
Max Effective: 450
Max Aimed Range: 1,400 (est)

a second source gives this information

BK-883 - HEAT. Projectile 7.51 kg. Complete round 12.5 kg. Warhead 1.06 kg
of RDX/Aluminium. GK-2 PIBD fuze. Range: 450 m (effective) 1,400 m (max).
Penetration 381 mm. Muzzle velocity


or 9 for max effective and 28 for max aimed range and a penetration of 38 when translated to game terms

in contrast the US M40 shows

Range (m):
Maximum Effective: 1,350
Maximum Range: 2,745


or 27 and 55 hex range.

This explains the 27 range in the game for the US M40 though I have seen other figures that give it "around 1100m m using HEAT and HEP-T" so that would be 22 but 22 and 27 are at least close. The difference between the 9 range we give the B-11 ( 450m ) and the 30 you give ( 1500 m ) isn't so close so I'm curious where that came from ? Perhaps someone used the Max range in error?
