Re: Czech OOB 5.5
Hallo
My notes to list created here (from the start):
- flame tanks - Czechoslovakia really did not have any.
- SU-85 was here - several vehicles were used by CS army corps in the USSR and some of them survived war and were stored up to 50s
- BRDM-2 Malutka - only 9P133 variant used
- SP-Mortars - there were only 2S4 Tulpan and ShM-85
- OT-64C SKOT - military designation is OT-64A for turreted variant (and just OT-64 for unarmed), SKOT-XY are factory designations
- OSA-AKM is 9K33M3, there was also one battery of 9K33M2 OSA-AK used for training, I am not sure about year of introduction (about 1982 +/-)
- BVP-1 (and also RPG-7) HE ammo - to my knowledge Czechoslovakia used only HEAT ammo for these weapons
- OT-90 - there was then OT-90M1 with upgraded gear (but no difference in game terms) and OT-90M2 with added armor to turret - basic turret armor is same as in OT-64A - anyway during my service I never saw any OT-90M2, though they were accepted to service - in my opinion only very few vehicles were upgraded
- Strela-10M - only IFF modernized, still in service (OSA-AKM unit was disbanded in 2006)
- we haven't Malutka-2 - there were only 9M14M and 9M14P1
- Strela-2M was introduced in 1973, we haven't basic Strela-2
- 100mm ATG vz.53 - main ATG weapon but not used in bunkers - heavy fortification in southern Moravia (yes that one about many people thinks that did not exists) and around Bratislava used 85mm vz.44/59 fortress ATG (ZiS-S-53 derivative) - we did not used foreign field 100mm ATGs
- 57mm ATG - service ended in around 60s
- 30mm AAG (PLDvK) vz. 53 = towed version --- vz.53/59 = self-propelled
- 122mm - there were M30 howitzers and A19 guns
- 130mm M46 - used since 60s to early 90s
- RPG-2 - we don't used it
- RPG-75 did not replaced RPG-7 - it is supplement, RPG-7 was still main squad anti-tank weapon
- MiG-21PFM - RS-2US - actually during 60s pilots here trained to use this missile against ground targets (as AA was useless)
- BM-13 Katyusha - we don't have it, not even in ww2 (BM-13s which supported CS troops were always Soviet ones)
- MiG-29 - officially removed from service in 1994, stored till deal with Poland
- "... rockets 240 mm. It's not clear, why unit with such old rockets should be available from 1/99." --- it should represent S-24 rockets, MiG-21MFN modernization was about IFF and navigation stuff - only new armament was wiring for R-60 (AA-8) missiles
- MiG-23BN - it should be here and also with Kh-23 missiles (only these -23BN used this missile in CS air force)
