von Lucke Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 As a seperate unit, Soviet PTRD / PTRS teams aren't available until Sept '41. Yet, if you purchase a Motorized Rifle Platoon in June of '41, a PTRD team comes as part of the package. Something wrong here? (PS: German AT rifle teams are available as a Support unit from June '41). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something wrong here?Definitly something wrong as these rifles weren't even designed yet I don't know if this is an oversight or because it was easier to implement the early mot rifles this way. As discussed earlier it can have rather curious effects on the price of these teams if you use rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some reading, it looks like the PTRD's were manufactured in late 1940, but the tungsten ammo for them didn't get distributed until about August 1941!
