I dont know if JJAVN is refering to it, but the Russian OOB seems quite outated at least when it comes to infantry AT weapons. For example the RPG-26 and RPG-29 are missing and RPG-18 & RPG-22 are also missing from the inf AT secs. Also theres the case of RPG-16. This weapon was actualy developped in 1970 and it was the paratrooper version of the RPG-7. However ingame it is depicted as a replacement for the RPG-7 and whit availability of 2000 onwards? I dont think the Russian army is using many RPG-7's anymore they have all been replaced by RPG 18, 22, 26 and 29's. Shouldn't the Russian OOB have all the RPG models and ATGM's after all they were made in Russia?

Yes, this certainly seems to be the case. It would be nice if you could add a few missing Russian RPG's and ATGM's in the next patch so to preserve realism.

Of course I'm not surprised when I play this game and find that the American and western OOB's are more detailed and updated than other nations. It's all very natural as this game is somewhat an American product and not (for example) a Russian one. However, to achieve the ultimate goal of the game - which to my understanding is to simulate the reality of modern tactical combat around the globe as closely as possible - you have to look outside your backyard. A lot.

I think the SPMBT are quite balanced and detailed. I can remember back then the original SP2 with WarPac countries armed like "worse Russia", for example T-62's and BTR-70's in Czechoslovakian and Polish OOB etc...

But now I'm more or less satisfied. That doesn't prevent me from making my mods using mobhack, though;o)
