According to this website, https://www.biancahoegel.de/flug/typen/ru/mig/mig-17f-ddr.html
NVA never used a single Lim-6bis, the photo you find is probably a Lim-5 (MiG-17F). That β€˜β€˜Mars-2’’ 16Γ—57mm S-5 rocket launcher may let you mistakenly believed those planes are Lim-6bis

In Detlef Billig, Manfred Meyer, Flugzeuge der DDR I. Band bis 1962 (2002) it is mentioned that some Lim-5P were converted to Lim-6bis standard, but without the breaking chute. So externally they would look similar to a Lim-5P and would probably still have the same tactical markings and so on.

I really think it’s time to add these. We don’t have any more excuses.

Before it was copy and paste arguments, and if you want to play Soviet vehicles then go play Russia and they won’t fill any gaps.

Well, we have lots of copy paste, lots of unneeded vehicles that don’t fill any gaps and lots of German vehicles added to other nations.

Can we please get some East Germans added?
