nyles 11 Posted May 12, 2004 Did someone say Soviet ORBAT?Motorized Infantry http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/100-63/Ch3.htm#p5 Mech Infantry and Armor http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/100-63/Ch4.htm#top Does anyone have some recent Russian ORBATS? I think that compared to the old one used in FM 100-60, several things might have changed. For example the RP-Grenadier during Soviet times was dedicated and only had his launcher and a pistol. I would like to know if he has an assault rifle nowdays or if it is just practice on some units that for example an officer lends his rifle to the grenadier as he won't be in combat that much. Things like that would be nice to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aj_addons 0 Posted May 12, 2004 you sure about the dedicated rpg soldier, Ive saw pics of russian rpg troops in afghanistan carrying an rpg and a ak-74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul_assassin 1750 Posted May 12, 2004 its important to state that in terms of equipment, camouflage and weapons the RF forces in chechniya are completely decentralized, everybody uses what they can get their hands on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyles 11 Posted May 12, 2004 Ah ok, but troops not involved in Chechyna would still have a dedicated grenadier only, when having field exercizes or has this changed TO&E wise? You can very often see this doctrine with Third World armies, where the RPG-7 is still always manned by soldiers who don't have any assault rifles. So if anyone has some reliable info about weapon loadouts, etc.. around platoon level and below, it would be nice to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted May 12, 2004 Well our RPG guys will carry a rifle, maybe a AKS-74U, i think we should have a compromise between realism and gameplay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Perhaps a "standard" AK-74 would be better, as the AKS-74U may not be available. As I'm led to believe, the AKS-74 is in short supply, highly valued over the AKS-74U. Obviously he wouldn't have as many magazines as a "regular" infantryman. -AK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOB 0 Posted May 12, 2004 New???  Its the Ssh-68 guess how old it is  He is also wearing a fur-hat underneath that helmet. Which makes it look a bit more "cone shaped". And the SsH-68 wasn't made in '44 was it? I thought I read somewhere that it was manufactured 1989, in Volgograd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow NX 1 Posted May 12, 2004 Nonono... The troops received the Ssh-68 in... guess... yeah 1968, the soviets loved to name their equipment after the year it was introduced. Btw, the "Fur Hat" is a Ushanka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperuk02 0 Posted May 12, 2004 8 years.....close enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Any chance of seeing some officer's and that wearing Ushanka fur hats come the Winter-cam pack? Those are some damn nice hats, quality ones at least. -AK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted May 12, 2004 There will be a summer and winter basic soldier with no backpack and stuff, the winter guy will wear the ushanka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKM 0 Posted May 13, 2004 Regarding: Quote[/b] ]lil update, GRUs wont have the nato style cammo in final version, atm Laser makes the plain beige Gorka suits they use most time. Any chance of a screenshot of the "new" GRU guys in their Gorka and/or Gorka-R uniforms? I know I seem eager, but its like a heroin addiction with you guys: "You just can't get enough." Well, until you overdose, but hopefully this doesn't happen with .pbo's. -AK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aj_addons 0 Posted May 14, 2004 yeah the t-62s have that and something extra aswell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul_assassin 1750 Posted May 14, 2004 t-55s will maybe have new and so far never seen recoil effects... Â yes raedor has been working hard in working together witht the cannon recoil from DKM and expanding it into a whole new experience. On another note we are looking for experienced texturers and skinners. Those are the basic skills needed however if on top of that you have other talents by all means apply. contact me by PM on this forum or email soul_assassin@wanadoo.nl with examples of your work.
