Renaming of soviet AT brigades [low priority]

Post by Teo41_ITA »

Hi everyone!

I am going through the Soviet units across the editor and I stumbled into the "Destroyer Anti-Tank Brigades" (05556). As I could not find any correspondence in the Russian/Soviet military literature, I finally discovered that in Russian they were called "istrebitelʹnaja brigada" (which roughly translates as "hunter", much like the German "Jäger"). To avoid confusion with the US Tank Destroyers, wouldn't be better to rename those units as "Tank-hunter Brigade(s)"?

Thanks!

EDIT: grammar and typos

Actually istrebitel translates as: fighter/exterminator/destroyer

"istrebitelʹnaja brigada" its a short name. About naming of these units there is separate NKO order -
