OOB 35 Finland – some weapon confusion

[TDR]

I was having a quick look at the Finnish OOB before looking at making a scenario.
I noted 2 oddities that tend to be somewhat confusing:

In the Units table there is the following:
Unit no: #44
Name: 75mm M40 AT-Gun
Dates: 6/43 – 12/43

If this is the Finnish purchased German 7.5 cm Pak 40, should not the dates be 6/43 – 12/46.
Or have I mixed this with some other AT gun?

In the Weapons table and with various units there is this:
Weapon no: #93
Weapons name: M30 Rifle Gren
Looking at the various units with this weapon it has a date range of 1/37 – 12/46.

I am unsure what this rifle grenade is.
Is it the Dyakonov's grenade launcher that entered service with the Soviet Army about 1920 – 1930, or something else?

I can not find anything on the M30 Rifle Grenade to clarify what it is exactly.
Simply what is it?

re 75mm M40 AT-Gun.....SEE POST #4

As for the M30 Rifle Grenade. It will be the Dyakonov

You say
Looking at the various units with this weapon it has a date range of 1/37 – 12/46.

I say you are incorrect. It is available to the Finns from 1930

CORRECTION


in the units table there is the following:
Unit no: #44
name: 75mm m40 at-gun
dates: 6/43 – 12/43

if this is the finnish purchased german 7.5 cm pak 40, should not the dates be 6/43 – 12/46.
Or have i mixed this with some other at gun?


My response that you had found and old "error" was premature and it occured to me later why

There are TWO Finn 75mm M40 AT-Guns

You found the first one ( unit 44 ) with the lower Sabot and HEAT round count that ends 12/43 but then Unit 136 with a higher Sabot and HEAT round count takes over and runs 1/44-12/46

No correction to 44 will be made

Fine.
Solves the problem..
