ORIGINAL: Brazenman In the combat actions 1941-1945 were involved 37 divisions of the NKVD and 16 brigades of NKVD How would these differ from the regular soviet infantry? Was the NKVD title anything more than just that (a title)? quote:
120-mm heavy mortar and 107-mm mountain mortar Red Army had heavy mortar brigades and regiments (11 brigades and more handred separate regimets in early 1943) composition of heavy mortar brigade 4 - heavy mortar regiments (38 120-mm mortars in each, all - 144 120-mm mortars in brigade) Yes, I understand that, but the reason I ignored the mortars for now is that: 1. mortar units were not considered as distinctive units by the PzC developers and just calculated into other units. Which means there are none present in game. In reality, many (most?) nations had heavy mortars in independent units. If we add them only for the Soviets (the Germans have only one unit so far) then it looks unbalanced. If H.Balck is serious about adding mortars to the game then it would require he makes them for all factions that had them (as independent units at the brigade/division etc. level). 2. we don`t actually have an animation and sound for such a unit and putting one together would require a bit of fiddling so that they match well. Not that this is a reason not to do it over the long term. quote:
T-27 T-27 took part in the fighting in 1941 (Crimea, Moscow, Leningrad). More than 200 T-27 were at the Far Eastern Front in 1945. T-27 were used for reconnaissance, patrol and guard headquarters. Wikipedia says this about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-27 quote:
By the end of the 1930s the T-27 was relegated primarily to training use, with some being used as tractors to tow field guns. The tanks-encyclopedia says this: http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/soviet/soviet_T27.php quote:
Their participation to the Polish invasion in September 1939 or the Winter War in Finland was real but of limited value. Some were reported posted in the Far East, along the disputed Mongolo-Chinese-Russian borders. But none were reported to have see any action at Nomonanh in August 1939. Action records in Poland are unknown. quote:
Only 1127 T-27s were left at the start of 1941 and only in second line. Their main duty was training, carrying supplies and light artillery (like the standard 45 mm/1.77 in AT gun) and mortar tractors. Which would mean that in game they basically should be in the transport class, not tank or recon. It`s why I didn`t add it. quote:
Also, I would replace the FAI to the FAI-M. FAI-M were significantly better represented in the armed forces in 1941 Actually, now that you meantion it, the FAI-M makes sense. Reading again the article on tank-encyclopedia I see they were present in decent numbers. I`ll add it to the game. quote:
Mule (Soviet Mnt Transport) SmallHorse (Soviet Horse Transport Light) Horse (Soviet Horse Transport) HorseWagon (Soviet Horse Transport Eng) Jeep (GAZ-67, Willys-MB) Truck (GAZ-AA, GAZ-MM) LightTruck (Zis-5, Dodge WC51) HeavyTruck (Zis-6, YaG-10) HalftrackTruck (Zis-42M) APC (M3 Halftrack) SeepCar (Ford GPA Seep) LightTractor (T-20 Komsomolyets, Pioneer) Tractor (Tractor STZ-5, T-26 Tractor) HighSpeedTractor (Stalinets S-2, Ya-12) HeavyTractor (Tractor ChTZ-65, Kommunar, Kommintern) SuperHeavyTractor (Voroshilovets) Thanks! That is what I was proposing above (using the same trait for more than one transport), but nobody bothered to give me any feedback on this until now. Of course, the downside is that the transports using the same trait will be available for the exact same units. Are you sure for example that Tractor ChTZ-65, Kommunar, Kommintern were all used to transport/tow the same units? EDIT: there were several funny units made like those radio vehicles. PzC has no mechanism for such units that I can think of so what are they good for?
