German OOB70:
Change unit #132 88mm FlaK 18 AT from (class 08 Flak) to (class 06
Anti-Tank Gun).
AA-Gun is unit #243 88mm FlaK18 AA .. is there any reason the AA variant
has 1 point better FC and RgF and (Radio 83) instead of (Radio 62) ?
Why do they have different weapons (guess: same reason as on FC/RgF)?
Than there's Formation #1177 "88 Flak AA Plt" and #1176 "88 Flak AA Sec"
- both (purchase screen 02 - Arty) and with (Special 10) =Elite ;
on the other hand there's #1070/#1071 "AA Sec/Plt", with (purchase
screen 04-Misc).
Obviously, this doesn't work out as expected - the game really screws up
on this:
- the 20mm and 37mm AA are available with the #1176/1177 "88 Flak AA" as
well - presumably because they are marked as AA-Guns too.
- the 88 AA does not show up in this formation every time it's selected;
had one instant that the 88 only showed up _every other time_ I selected
this formation.
- the #1070/1071 "AA Sec/Plt" does work as intended .. could anyone
explain to me why the 88 AA does not show up here?
U#149 OBWurfgrnte 41
[rename] Abbr. is "Wurfgr.41"
U#171 Sniper
[change] Uses Kar 98k, later Gw43
U#159 GE FJ Airborne
[change] Uses W#090 FG42 Rifle ..
U#158/U#160 use W#247 FJ Gewehr42, which seems to be the same ?!
U#186 JU-52 Troop
[rename] Ju 52/3m . there's no "Troop Carrier" variant
[change] speed should equal the Stuka at best .. 4 is way to much
U#187 DFS 230
[change] .. nominally had cap.8, but was overloaded regularly: cap.10..12 would be better
[change] make it speed 2 - or does this not work?
All planes: leave the first "-" out .. e.g. Ju 87G-1 instead of Ju-87G-1
U#189 Ju 87B-1 Stuka
[change] remove weap1 7,92 MG
(or at least make it 2 instead of 3 .. one was firing backwards, and none where used when dive bombing - even if Hollywood say it was
U#92 Command Car [rename]..maybe we could replace this ominous "CC" with something more appropiate?
[change] And change the Carry to "6" again

ALL OOBs (special: Japan)
W#85 Molotov
Has sound 603 again, which crashes the game.
Change to "0" and it's fine (or better: make the sound work)
has PenAP222, PenHE75 and PenHEAT75 again; I thought it was meant to have PenHe only?
W#90 Molotov (Japan)
Has range 12(3) !!! and HE kill 4 ( above W#85 has 3)
W#xxx most 20 mm guns ..
have weapon size 222, but are "equipped" with AP, HE and APCR penetration .. and ammo ?! Is this supposed to have changed to "pure HE" only ?
W#xxx aircraft-mg (7,6mm/.30 cal)
have PenHE of 9..12, while ground weapons haven't got any Pen. I would suggest to either give them all Pen or none .
Thinking about it, ALL small arms should have some Pen value .. as they in reality have .. the MG34 is rated with 8mm(30°) at 100m, while the K98 gets about 5..6mm - you're not absolutly save even if you're in your APC
Did a quick test on a Pz.IV and found some surprising result:
While using HE ammo and PenHe, the penetration value dropped of with range like it would using AP ammo ?
This ain't bad (after all, the small arms rounds are "solid shot AP"), but asthe ranges of the MGs are vastly different, penetration over greater range varies wildly.
Note at this point, that some aircraft MG I checked where set to range 24(6), what effectivly kills their penetration IF the Pen for aircraft weapons drops of with range as well ???

Japan OOB75
SNLF seems to be a pretty mess to me:
U151/152 SNLF HQ is (class 07 - Platoon HQ)
U153/154/155 SNLF Sqd is (class 106 - Marines)
U156/157/158 SNLF Sqd* is (class 73 - Elite Inf)
it needn't be carried, so why the "*" ??
.. obviously they all should be (class 70 - Special Forces), shouldn't
they?
Formations aren't better at all:
F#1123 SNLF Plt has (special 10)
F#1124 SNLF Co has (special 11)
..I understand that this is to give the attached F#1143 HMG PLT B recon
ability, but the same would be true to the Plt which has Knee Mortar Sqd
attached.
(same for the following 5 units #1125 ...1129)
And even than this wouldn't really work out - the only units able to
infiltrate are the Squads (still; at least if you change them back to
"Special Forces"), so when using C&C you'll end up with the
HQ/Mortars/MGs at your front line and the Squads in the enemy rear,
unable to move ..
Is there any cause to make the HQ a (class HQ) ?
By the way I noticed that the classes for the other inf. units are mixed
up as well .. Inf A is medium or second line (!)inf , while Inf B is
just inf or light inf.

Poland OOB80
U#12 Valentine VIII has (class65 - command tank) but radio 82 only ?!
U#20 TKS nkm even worse .. radio 13 !!!
found it in F#1088 (Sec) and F1090 (Co) .. but,
doesn't really makes sense to me?!
Are these Command Tanks without radio historically
correct ?
W#008 20mm FK wz.38 has PenAP 21 and PenHE 22 .. good joke :-)
..that's it for today !!
