toutenglisse Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Yes it is this one. If you spawn a unit using "Bowman" type, you get the FDDM Grad, new name for same unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalcoGer Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Why is that thing in the artillery section? Isn't a Grad a wheeled truck with an MLRS on the back? Edited July 19, 2022 by FalcoGer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've no idea why it's been given the name FDDM MRL Grad (FC) (FDDM stands for fire-direction data manager, so that part kinda makes sense - though AVRC is probably a better vehicle designation), it does make sense for it to be in the artillery section: The actual vehicle is some variant of the 1V12 series, which are command, control and fire-direction vehicles for artillery batteries. It's not specifically for the Grad and it can at least work with Soviet/Russian self-propelled 122 mm and 152 mm howitzers. In DCS it shortens the time it takes for artillery to fire (which is a gameified feature whereby artillery will train appropriately, but won't fire until a delay has elapsed - the vehicle shortens said delay). And you're right - the Grad is an MLRS, in DCS we have the BM-21-1 Grad, which is a 40 barreled, 122 mm MLRS mounted on a Ural-4320 truck.
