  1. In general, the base T-72 had at least 4 turret options:

    1973-74: adapted from T-64A with a combined filler of high hardness steel

    1974-76: homogeneous (probably this variation is in the game); also, apparently, their large backlog was partially used after the 76th, especially for export

    1976-78: combined, with an insert of heat-strengthened quartz ("sand rods")

    1978-79: similar to the previous one, but without a tide under the TPD-2-49 sight due to the complete transition to the quantum TPD-K1 (which was partially installed since 1976 in  socket for TPD-2-49 with a bore of the sighting channel and a plug of the right window under the optical rangefinder tube)
    True, the documentation in the public domain apparently is not for all of them, especially for the filler, so it will be more difficult to prove here.

    Ok, that one is on me.  The air support works in the single player campaigns but of course this will be an issue in H2H.  Will get it fixed.

    Is a mission fix worth waiting for in next patch 1.02 ? 

  3. In some missions at soviet army, there are no air observers, although there are planes and helicopters on the map. The new player will not understand why he cannot use aviation due to the absence of an air observer.

    List of scenarios:

    1) US Campaign Scenario  A Hill to Die On (Blue or H2H ONLY)

    2) US Campaign Scenario  Dollbach Heights (Blue or H2H ONLY)

    3) US Campaign Scenario  Route 66 (Blue or H2H ONLY)

    4) US Campaign Scenario  The Citadel (Blue or H2H ONLY)

    Hi,

    I'm curious if the Soviets called their companies "alpha" "Bravo" "Charlie" etc.. Or was it a numbers only type set-up.

    On the radio nets, did they use the Soviet equivalent of the Alphanumeric alphabet?  

    Were call-signs and radio procedure similar to use in NATO countries?  "Charlie Foxtrot One, this is Alpha Two, OVER"  (but in Russian, of course).

    Cheers,

    Manual is in russian, I think you can skip through google translit.  😃

    I read somewhere that the Soviets actually would drop without parachutes into thick snow.

    Probably Vyazemsky airborne operation was meant, then part of the 250th regiment was unloading into deep snow without a parachute.

    So, the Germans started painting possible hard surface landing sites with whitewash.  Any truth to that?

    I can suggest that it was more of a fight against saboteurs, whom they liked to send behind the front line on U-2 (Po-2) aircraft.

    Interesting boots, is it part of a kit from toxic substances, biological agents and radioactive dust ?  In our army, they like to use stockings from a protective kit in spring and autumn, when there is sticky mud everywhere.
