Problem with Sudanese Pack Howitzer

[DRG]

I've put this on the list to look into when we start work on the games again. Given it's a shoulder aimed carl gustav I suspect, but won't know until I dig into it, that this wasn't intended to be used for indirect fire work but this was a place to put it into the OOB OR someone long ago decided to give this a try as an experiment and see if anyone complained or commented

Afghanistan has something similar, with unit n.53 Gustav PH Team.
Off hand I have heard about the rebels occasionally using RPG-7s for indirect fire in the 80's if no mortars were available but naturally it was not very effective in that tole.

I think there is something similar in the Chechen OOB as well.

I seem to recollect that one of the OOB development team we used to have had a 'thing' about improvised HE chucking devices. That is why "SPA" HE RCL jeeps and things popped up all over the place, along with shoulder launched RL "HE" items.

Some of these things cannot meet the minimum range for indirect fire though, and so may have problems if plotted for it. (They should probably have been classed as a mortar class perhaps?).

So - if you spot one of these things, let us know and we will attempt to fix it.
