Default Re: Finnish OOB 5.5

Speaking of Finland, I have several minor remarks (mostly month corrections according to a Russian article in Tehnika i Vooruzhenie 1/1999):


#003 PT-76 - first were delivered in the end of 10/63 (practically 11/63). I believe they should be PT-76B in fact, produced since 1959, with D-56TS gun with stabilizer. I don't know how about Finnish tanks, but standard Russian ammo load was 24/4/4/8.

#008 T-34/85 M44 - M44 is absolutely useless and non-official addition

#013 T-54B - first were delivered in 9/59

#017 T-72M1S - first were delivered on 13.12.84 (practically 1/85)

#027 BMP-1 -first were delivered in 6/81.

#048 XA-180 PaSi - first were delivered in 8/84

#109 Jaeger section - proper pic is 41086 (Rk.62 rifle)

#117 Jaeger section - proper pic is 11109 (Rk.54 is just a Soviet AK)

#121 Jaeger section - proper pic is 41086 (Rk.62 rifle)

#130 infantry sec - proper pic is 14099 (Rk.56 is just a Chinese Type 56) (or 17098)

#133 Pioneer section - proper pic is 11109

#145 Mil Mi-8 - when it was armed, it carried 4x16 57mm rockets as a standard, so their number could be doubled or the weapon should be upgraded to 4x57mm S-5K (eg. from Russian oob - not weapon 190). Also some AP shots should be given.

#146 Mil Mi-4 - the MG wasn't DShK - weapon's name should be changed to TKB-481 or A-12,7 or just 12.7mm MG or TKB MG (Mi-4 is the only unit using this weapon in oob)

#215 MT-LBv - first 10 were delivered only in mid-12/84 (more were delivered only from 1988)

#281 scouts - proper pic is 11109

#282 scouts - proper pic is 14099 (Rk.56 is just a Chinese Type 56) (or 17098)

#291 ski scouts - proper pic is 11109

#292 ski scouts - proper pic is 14099 (or 17098)


#328 152 TELAK 91 - delivered in 11/91

#345, 346 StuG M40G - they should have also some MG (MG-42?)

#380, 381 37mm AT-Gun - better pic is 36974 (Bofors 37 mm)

#383, 384 45mm AT-Gun - proper pic is 29423 (Soviet 45mm)

#423 Coast Jaegers - proper pic is 11109 (Rk.54 is just a Soviet AK)

#424 Coast Jaegers - proper pic is 41086 (Rk.62 rifle)

#491, 491 Patarooper sec - proper pic is 11109 (Rk.54 is just a Soviet AK)

#514 Reserve Section - proper pic is 14099 (Rk.56 is just a Chinese Type 56) (or 17098)

#520 WSK SM-1 helicopter - Max speed was 185km/h (61 instead of 76) - concerns all countries (SM-1 and Mi-1)

Michal
