so the M8 pictured in http://www.panzerbaer.de/archiv/seite_f.htm
was never used by West German military units only Police?

think so, but mind you BGS is paramilitary. they also were tasked in wartimes with semi military tasks. also in conflict WP - NATO they would be one of the first seeing the russians....

AFAIK the BW used M41 buldog as recon tank in the early times, than hotchkiss.

Well there are much probs in the german OOB.

i corrected a few ones:

a) Mountain troops now have better exp + mor than normal grunts. they are now a little weaker than para but better than normal
b) Border guards ( which is meant "bundesgrenzschutz" i think ) should have also a bit better exp + mor then normal troops since these were no conscripts. Also they were in service minimun untill the fall of the wall.
c) PZH 2000 has now 1 more ROF ( also the question was asked above, if it should be also a bit more accurate and therefore a bit more expansive ? )
d) SP arty prices a bit changed ( 109 A3 was a bit too pricey for example )
e) Dornier 205 heli is now correct named "Bell UH 1D"
f) The ammo load f. SP mortars is correctd ( for example the hotchkiss SPmortar should have fewer ammo than the M113 )
g) The Luchs is now 1 size smaller and much faster than in the orig. OOB. there it was only 23 fast, much too low !

Shall i upload this OOB here ? I mean it is the minimun that everyone should have.

Your corrections sounds good. I also like the idea of KSK commandos or another Germany Special Force units. Just like for example British SAS which are included.Repricing units sound a bit risky though unitcostcalculator sucks sometimes (Look at prices of on-map BM-22 Uragan and HIMARS) Where can I download your OOB?

Few questions:

*Did you also add extra +3 to Mountain Scouts?
*Is Fuchs with mauser only equipped wiht HP ammos, not AP?
*Does anyone know anything about these Panzerfaust modifications

hi friend,

i decided to not include the KSK, i have not enough knowledge about them. instead i incl. "standard" BGS troops. light inf with a bit better mor + exp. also i incl. bundesmarine divers (kampfschwimmer)...

1. mountain scouts get + 8 ( +5 geb.jaeger bonus + 3 scout bonus ).
2. you mean the fuchs 2 ? i did almost nothing to these future vehicles, since i more focus on present or ca. 20 years past.
3. these pz. faust 3 versions are quite new. i decided against the bunkerfaust since the normal pz. faust 3 is quite good already in the game. the other new version is a new warhead which should defeat ERA armor. i have no idea how to represent this double warhead at the pz.faust, so i leave this out also. but i tweaked the dates of all AT inf weapons: pzfaust3 avail a little later, both other models ( le. pzfaust44 + c. gustav have now longer service times, since the pz.faust 3 came not that fast to all troops, in fact i guess that some troops had to deal with the le. pz.faust quite a while even the pz.faust3 was produced already. )

hope this helps !

This migth be a problem. The PzGrKp in the mid-80's have a 7 man command element. However the Marder 1 A2 only takes 6. Is this correct? I can see that the A2+ with its MILAN kit would have less space than the A1, but why has the A2 one less carrying capacity than the A1?
