obat11 Russia

[Pibwl]

I didn't want to start a new topic, but I've found some related info on Slovak oob51 . It uses the only MANPADS: 061 Igla Team since 1993. Photo is Strela, as above.

According to Slovak MOD magazine "Obrana" 3/2012 published in the web, Slovakia initially from 1993 should have Strela-2 (Czechoslovak 074 unit), withdrawn from regular use some time before 2012 (still used for training).
According to article in Polish "Nowa Technika Wojskowa", 9K38 Igla were acquired by Slovakia only in late 1997 (according to https://www.armedconflicts.com/9K38-Igla-t9092 from 5/96, which I can't verify - it says about transitional 9K310 Igla-1, but Slovak MOD sources mention 9K38).

(BTW: Russian designations are confusing, because 9K38 Igla is the whole system, while the missile is 9M39 - as we use it in weapon's name)

Found bug while making a UKR v RUS battle on a winter map:

BTR-70 Winter Icon (4225) (at least I think that is the number) -- on this, parts of the gray winter camo flash on/off with the river/water cycle.

I know why it would do that and will correct it.

Now it won't do that......

Looking to add in Wagner and other PMC's. What does everyone think about morale and experience ratings? I guess there should be a pre war and now version. Pre war having higher ratings in both and the opposite now.

From what little I know about Russian mercenaries I'd say higher experience (+5 or 10) then default Russians but lower morale (-5 or 10). Mercenaries are there to collect a paycheck NOT die for their country.
