Default Re: North Korea errors report

I’m not sure about Unit 461 in the North Korean OOB. It is a SU-100 with a start date in 1951 during the Korean War. I don’t think the North Koreans used the SU-100 during that war. I have double-checked a couple of books about the Korean War and a publication about the SU-100 and none of them mentions their use during the conflict.

The SIPRI Trade Register claims that the Soviets delivered 100 SU-100s to the North Koreans between 1965 and 1968. They are presumably represented in the game by Unit 462 – which currently has a start date in 1968.
