spob20 Yugoslavia

[zastava128]

I'd like to request the following changes/additions. I've now exhausted the available literature, so this pretty much wraps it up for this OOB, save for a couple of utility vehicles and maybe a patrol boat or two. But I'll leave those for next year.

UNITS:

036 - end date can be extended to 12/46 - as a rule, German weapons remained in use to the end of the war and longer

143 - end date can be extended to 12/44, since it was used by the local guerrillas and militias

162 - end date can be extended until 12/45, since it was only phased out after the war

Request adding: Rifle Squad (unit class: 1) weapons diversification
-Currently, all Rifle Squads from 1/45-12/46 all have Soviet weapons, while historically there were still plenty of captured German weapons as well as ex-Royal Yugoslav ones in use. Thus, I'd request Rifle Squads with the following weapon combinations be added:

1. Kar 98k Rifle + MG34 LMG + Hand Grenade + Tellermine (1/45-12/45)
2. Kar 98k Rifle + MG42 LMG + Hand Grenade + GebaltenGranate (1/45-12/46, radio code: 1)
3. M24 Rifle + VZ30J LMG + Hand Grenade + Hawkins Mine (1/45-12/46)

Request adding: Ja-12 (arty tractor)
-date: 1/45-12/46
-unit class: 180
-Sent by Soviets together with other vehicles. I think it would be a good thing to add them since there's currently only horse limbers in the OOB.

-can be found in Polish LWP OOB, unit 182

Request adding: Partisan AT / Bazooka
-date: 9?/44-12/46
-unit class: 2
-Sent to the partisans via the British mission on the island of Vis.

Request adding: Autoblinda 40
-date: 9/43-12/45
-unit class: 11
-I've found this model of the Autoblinda was also among those captured by the partisans. Attaching photo.

Request adding: Panhard 178
-date: 11?/44-12/46
-unit class: 11
-I found out they were captured and used in combat by the partisans.
-several Pahnards can be seen behind the trucks on the right on this photo: http://s832.photobucket.com/user/dra...qdq4m.jpg.html

Request adding: M13/40
-date: 9/43-?/45
-unit class: 159
-A few were captured and used by partisans when Italy surrendered. Attaching photo.

Request adding: 305mm 16M Skoda Mortar
-date: 1/30-4/41
-unit class: 155
-Used by Yugo Royal Army, inherited from Austria-Hungary. I think it would be a good idea to add since the current OOB lacks this kind of siege arty.
-can be found in Hungarian OOB (unit 255)

Request adding: 5cm GrW 36 - six men, 2 mortars per unit
-date: 1/43-12/45
-unit class: 153
-captured from Germans by partisans, also used by Ustashe

Request adding: Fieseler Storch
-date: 10/43-12/44
-unit class: 50
-a small number of aircraft were either captured or defected following the surrender of Italy. I'd use the Storch to represent these (in reality there was a variety of unarmed aircraft, but the Storch is already in the game, so it's easier to use it to represent all of them).

Request adding BF 109G-2/R-1
-date: 4/45-12/46
-unit class: 44
-again, these were captured planes and defectors. Remained in use after end of war (as seen in WinSPMBT).

FORMATIONS:
If Storch is added, Formation 79 start date should be 10/43.

Bazooka - for Pastisan AT
8mm (2) TMG - for Autoblinda 40
