I mean: Buildings, units, doctrines full descriptions, WITH info like: health points, armour type, speed, fire rate, gun power (damage) e.t.c?

Wow nice!
Post Merge: [time]Вск 19 Сен 2010 21:54:38[/time]I have service manuals for both ZiS-2 and ZiS-3. If You need it - let me know. There are drawings, schemes e.t.c.
Post Merge: [time]Пнд 20 Сен 2010 02:43:23[/time]I suggest ZiS-3 is not for "upgraded ZiS-2", but for reward unit for ZiS-2.
Reasons:

ZiS-2 was a specialized AT gun. It had smaller caliber, 3kg AP shell (Fragmentation shell was 3,7kg weight), but much more muzzle velocity (up to 1.200 m/s) against ZiS-3, wich had twice heavier (6kg) HE and AP shell with muzzle velocity of to 700m/s).

ZiS-2 was good, and extremly good only against Tanks.
ZiS-3 was good (to mid1943, when german "cats" appeared) against tanks, but MUCH better against infantry and field fortifications (bunkers, MG nests e.t.c.).

I suggest to player will choose - what is more important for him - to have good AT gun (ZiS-2) or to have multy-propose field gun (ZiS-3), wich will be more balanced - good both vs. infantry, bunkers and light armored vehicles, but twice less powerfull against heavy armor.

Thank You!

Will ZiS-3 be a reward for something?

But Your game is also in russian speaking coutries, isnt it?

Hmmm... So, why not to remove ZiS-2 and place 57 mm anti-tank gun M1943, remove ML-20 and place 152 mm howitzer-gun M1937, and list is long...

After all, all theese are Soviet weapons. And IMHO correct would be Soviet names.

P.S. Just name it "Heavy mortar" Calling it M1938 let us think about it was built in the West Next move will be - 120-mm Mortar Mk.I

About ZiS-2 to the game, it would be nice!
Could it be possible to just put animation of US or UK crew to ZiS-2 model?

« on: September 18, 2010, 09:35:54 PM »

Agreed, WartyX.

But for Engenery more correct will be Sapery/Shturmovye Sapery

And correct transliteration of Стрелки will be Strelki not Strelky.

Also, IMHO You should add name for Mortar and Katyusha. It must be "PM-38 Mortar" and "BM-13 Katyusha".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1938_mortar

Rizz:
there is a transliteration mistake on that webpage.
Ротный миномёт (Rotny Minomjot) is not 50mm PM-38/40 but RM-38 with improved version RM-40.
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/50-%D0%BC%D0%BC_%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%91%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80._1938_%D0%B8_1940_%D0%B3%D0%B3.

Also, BM-37 (Bataljonny Minomjot) .
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%91%D1%82_82_%D0%BC%D0%BC
is mistranslated as PM-37
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/82-PM-37

Dont trust english WiKi in case with Russian weapon

Red Army Suggestions / Re: Heavy Mortar Undersized

« on: September 17, 2010, 08:49:46 AM »

I have a suggestion:

ML-20 152mm fireposition could be changed to PM-38 120mm fireposition.

And if movable mortar is needed, BM-37 82mm could replace heavy mortar in Support Building.
