I have already tested this and it works.

As we all know the one thing that the russian infantry was not short of was varrious types of grenades.
My idea is to make one grenade to represent both their HE grenade and their RPG-40 and RPG-43 grenades. the slots are their they just have to be used.

Any one have any thoughts on this? It would save a weapons slot in many Russian units allowing them to carry their SMG again.

Kevin,
The Soviet OOB has a generic Grenade which replaces that old M14 grenade which never was much used by Soviet orces in WW2. In any case all Grenades in wepon slot 087 are coded similarly.

The RPG43 grenade is also included in the weapons list for scenario design purposes

I Know that. What Im suggesting is to make one weapon to simulate both the HE grenade and the HEAT grenades. Then giving the carrying unit AP and HE ammo. Like I said , I tried this and it works. I also left the standard Russian HE hand grenade in slot 87 alone.
