Default Soviet tanks combat loads

Some info about load plans for soviet made tanks, which I compiled from various tanknet posters (Bojan and an ex NVA tanker for the most part) and others sources. Since I though it might be of interest to others modders I have decided to clean my notes a bit and posting them.

T-34/85

Soviet WW2 combat load: 36 HE, 14 AP, 5 HVAP

Yugo combat loads when tanks vs tanks engagements were expected:
- Early 50's: 23 HE, 24 AP, 8 HVAP
- Late 50's: 23 HE, 20 AP, 12 HVAP
- Early 60's (after HEAT aquisition): 23 HE,12 AP, 8 HVAP,12 HEAT
- Post 1975 (after introduction of the M74 HEAT round): 23 HE,
8 AP, 8 HVAP, 16 HEAT

General rule for Yugoslavia
Antitank load: 40% HE, 60% antitank rounds,
Infantry support load: 70% HE, 30% antitank rounds.


Pt-76

Yugo combat load, late 70's: 20 HE, 4 AP, 4 subcaliber, 12 HEAT

Soviet combat load: 24 HE, 4 AP, 4 HVAP, 8 HEAT


BMP-1

Soviet combat load: 16 HE, 24 HEAT (not 100% sure it isn't the other way around though)


T-54

Yugo combat loads
Standard : 18 HE, 6 AP, 10 HEAT
Infantry support : 22 HE, 4 AP, 8 HEAT
Antitank action : 14 HE, 8 AP, 12 HEAT.

Non specified Warsaw Pact load: 17 HE, 11 AP, 6 HEAT



T-55

East german authorized combat load, late cold war: 22 HE,
15 APDS/APDSFS, 6 HEAT.

Also 2500 7,62 mm MG rounds, 300 12,7mm DShK rounds, 300 x 7,62 mm (or 5,45 mm) AK rounds, 10 hand grenades, 2 sets of signal ammunition, 4 x 16 9 mm Makarov rounds.

Yugo combat loads:
Standard : 20HE, 11AP, 12 HEAT,
Infantry support: 26 HE, 8 AP, 9 HEAT,
Antitank action : 16 HE, 12 AP, 15 HEAT.



T-62

Soviet combat load: 22 HE, 12 APFSDS, 6 HEAT

Combat load for modernized T-62 with missile capability: 20 HE, 10 APFSDS, 6 HEAT, 6 missiles



T-72M

East german authorized combat load, late cold war: 14 APDSFS (of which 9 in the autoloader), 5 HEAT (of which 2 in the autoloader), 20 HE-FRAG (of which 11 in the autoloader)

Also 2250 7,62 mm MG rounds, 300 12,7 mm NSVT rounds, 300 7,62 mm (or 5,45 mm) AK rounds, 10 hand grenades, 2 sets of signal ammunition, 3 x 16 9 mm Makarov rounds.

Some notes about the T-72
Unlike on most tanks, main gun ammo racks on T-72s are round specific. The autoloader can hold any combination of rounds but the reserve ammo racks are conformal (or at least some of them) so you you cannot fill the tank with, say, 39 APFSDS.

The information about yugo load plans comes from a guy with access to ex JNA documents (tanks manuals etc.). East german practices from an ex tank company commander of the DDR.

According to Tekhnika i Vooruzhenie 9/2008, standard load of Soviet tanks until the 60s (used probably also by most customers):

- PT-76: 20 HE, 10 AP, 5 APCR, 5 HEAT

- T-34/85: 36 HE, 14 AP, 5 APCR

- T-54: 20 HE, 14 AP (early, from TiV 10/2008)

- T-54: 16 HE, 12 AP, 6 HEAT (T-54, A, B)

- T-55: 22 HE, 15 AP, 6 HEAT (T-55, A)

- T-62: 16 HE, 16 APFSDS, 8 HEAT

- IS-2,3: 17 HE, 11 AP

T-54 and T-55 actually have listed 4 shrapnels, but I've counted them as HE. I've found no information on such round type for these tanks.
