Looking at heavy RCLs, I can not help but to notice that Finnish 95mm RCL seems to be out of line comparing to other RCLs in multiple nations.


RCL___________Eff. range___Max. Range__Weight (kg)_Speed (crew)
--------------------------------------------------------------
B-10 RUS ....... 400 m .... 800m (16) .... 85.3 .... 6 (5)
B-11 RUS ....... 450 m .... 900m (18) ... 304.8 .... 3 (5)
106mm M40 USA . 1350 m* .. 1350m (27) ... 209.5 .... 3 (6)
95S58-61 FIN ... 700 m .... 700m (14) ... 140.0 .... 1 (6)

*) Unreliable source: wikipedia

As the table above shows, the effective range given typically for the gun is about half of the maximum range in game (in parentheses given in hexes). This is not the case for 95 S 58-61 as well as for the 106mm M40, where they're equal to effective range. Some sources list even higher effective ranges for 106mm M40. As for the speed the 95 S 58-61 seems to be in a completely different category as the weight is less than the heavier counterparts. It probably should sit somewhere around 4 hexes / turn.

Also notable is that FDF lists night scope equipment in the equipment page, suggesting that the Vision attribute should get a notch up to 15 or 20.

Suggestion:
Modify unit 390: Speed to 4
Modify unit 391: Speed to 4, Vision to 20
Modify weapon 48: Range to 21 (1.5 times effective range)
Modify weapon 47: Range to 21
