While all your drawings stand firm to excellent standards, that railway gun is just 10 out of 10. Get ready for it getting stolen by other AUers.

Great work ! How does loading mechanism work on 120/45C and 152 50TK ? Seems like they do not have the crane platform unlike the other heavy guns.

lock open, and piggy in! Canet guns operates in rather simple way, it requires lots of muscle work

Ok so here it starts, the Cold War and modern age!

First with the boring MBT suite... (also what ever equiment was listed in the sheets few pages back no longer applies, I try to change those "placemarks" after this round is done)

Thanks for the praises. Also, eswube

Fundamentally it raises the question of how many fighting vehicles are meant to be in the platoon (in the real-life OrBat). Number of 29 tanks suggest two companies of 14 plus 1 in BG HQ - and that in turn implies 3 platoons of 4 and 2 tanks in company HQ (or 4 platoons of 3 tanks, Soviet-style, but in that style there would be just 1 HQ tank). On the other hand, Your OrBat for the Armoured Brigade 90 (which, I assume is also taken from original sources) gives 20 tanks per battalion, which gives typical Soviet-style company of 3 platoons of 3 tanks plus commander's vehicle. So it's essentialy impossible to extrapolate anything from this in relation to mechanized infantry. :(
Ok, thanks for Your effort and explanation. I suppose that without further source material not much more can be guessed and we just have to take it all for granted.
I managed to find some more info of this matter (if you are still intressed),
In the OTL Mechanised battlegroup, the Armour comppany has 14 leo2s (12 in the 3 platoons + 2 in command platoon), 1 BMP-1TJK and 3 MT-LBv. The Mech inf. Company has 19 BMP-2s, (16 in 4 platoons each 4 tanks + 3 in the command platoon) and 1 BMP-1TJK and 4 MT-LB
