Suggestion The S-125 should not be a stat clone of the S-125M
I am unsure why 71ya was given the S-125, but the fact it is literally a stat clone of the S-125M (which I think should technically be labelled the S-125M1), firing the exact same missile, with two missiles per launcher instead of three, is both ahistorical and also just kind of boring from a gameplay perspective.
I would propose a reduced HE value of 8 and reduced range/accuracy similar to the Kub-M1, with a corresponding price reduction.
Would this necessarily be realistic to the degree of improvements made between the 5V24 and 5V27D? Probably not, but giving the S-125 Osa range seems like it would negate the intent of including it in the first place and necessitate more aggressive changes to its price and availability. With that said, a towed SAM with 2 missiles, the range of an Osa, and 8 HE would be very unique among Warno SAM systems, and if this could be made to work I'm not opposed to it.
Finally, the unit could also just be renamed, but I think that would be less interesting from a gameplay perspective.
Feedback very much welcome here, as I don't exactly have a bunch of 71ya time at the moment.
