Some minor issues that I happened to spot trawling through the TOEs.


1.) Penal platoon and company experience levels (formations 187 and 188)

These two formations have different experience mods: 187 has experience of -5 while 188 has experience of 0. Both should probably have same value.


2.) Ammo loads for 37 mm AA guns (units 054 and 040)

Towed 37 mm AA-gun (unit 054) has currently ammo load of HE 100 and AP 10, while Mobhack recommendation for such gun would be 40 ammo units in total.

Truck mounted has GAZ-AA-37 (unit 040) has ammo load of HE 100 (but no AP), which also sounds rather generous.


3.) Carry capacity for OT-34 (units 015 and 286)

Currently unit 015 has carry capacity of 0 while unit 286 has carry capacity of 13. Both should probably have same value.


4.) Carry capacity for SU-76i (units 345 and 346)

Currently both of these have carry capacity of 0. However, considering that these are effectively Soviet versions of StuG III (fully enclosed superstructure on Panzer III chassis) I would think that granting them some carry capacity (eg. 6) could be appropriate.

Carry capacity for flame tanks is zero. That one you found has slipped though the cracks for years and was the only one in the game with a carrycap

So as not to open a new topic, I'll post something I found about captured vehicles in Soviet service.

Source is: M. Kolomiets & I. Moschansky, Trofei v Krasnoy Armii, Frontovaya Illjustratsiya No 1, 2000.

SU-150 - this is a German Hummel
SU-88 - this is a German Nashorn

Both were available since 3/45.

These captured vehicles were actually formed into platoons and used on the front lines, so there are grounds for adding them - if there's space in the Soviet OOB of course.


There was also a single captured German Wespe (designated SU-105) since 4/45, but since it's a one-of-a-kind it can probably be omitted.


It also lists the following captured Hungarian vehicles, all available from 9/44: Turan, Toldi, Zrinyi, Nimrod

The big problem is, there are no details on which model of said vehicles were used, or their designation in Soviet service, so I guess there's probably no point in adding them unless someone can find out this additional information.
