STIRX is also known as 12 cm pansarsprängvinggranat 94. It is fired by the 12cm Grk m/41D mortar system. Some online sources claims it has been used since 1994. For OOB purposes maybe 1/95 or 1/96 would be suitable. I was called up in 1996 and they were in use then.

IIRC, in previous versions, and I think this was before the windows version of the game, OOB066 had an extra set of 120mm mortars with the STRIX. It was more expensive than the regular set, had reduced HE rounds and a few AP rounds. In game terms it worked similar to weapon systems with cluster munitions, on a bit smaller scale. Acceptable IMHO, although the STRIX would not be very effective against soft tagets.
