Side tangent, but it vexs me that Gaijin didn’t bother with the Finnish Camos and from me Pm’ing a mod they have no interest in modeling the correct camo for the Fins as they just use the Swedish winter camo.
Can you elaborate?
Speaking about some cupola changes and iirc some add on armor
I dont know about the add on armor, but the Cupolas are as far as i know pretty much mostly field workshop modifications when available.
Yeah, theres unfortunately not a lot of info on the deal between Germany and finland for the T34s in question unfortunately. Just thought it was odd that the models with the most German touch ups weren’t the model chosen as a premium. Though i guess gameplay wise people would be upset if Germany had theres changed to have the cupola or if Finland got the model with the cupola. I think its a rather neat modification considering it was just a blatantly better design to allow the commander to have a better view than the Soviet model.
Would be a nice vehicle to see hopefully given how lacking the Continuation War lineup is, still waiting on the Sturmi and Stug IV so i can have all my favorite stugs but guess modern stuff is far more popular…

I’ve seen a generally knowledgable finnish guy state that the barrel is just a pipe that was fitted so that the tank could be used as a prop in the background of a movie, but I’ve got no proper source for that. No idea what movie that would have been either

That seems like the most plausible explanation, as I also found the amount of rubble built up around the tracks to be unusual for a postwar vehicle.
Looks like we’re buying IRIS-T SLM also lol
Jeg tror, at alle vil være med lol
Sweden bought in and now we are, guess we wait if Finland will. Norway has their own stuff so i doubt they will.

Really good for regional interoperability. All that’s left is to see which carrier vehicle both countries choose.
Yeah, im quite curious, when we bought the Skyranger we chose the Mowag Piranha and it has its own unique missiles from other users, i do hope after they add Skyranger to Germany that Gaijin will give Sweden the Danske Skyranger, the absolute unit that it is.

Totally agree! Finnish subtree holds a lot of untapped potential, and vehicles like the StuG IV Sturmi and other unique wartime modifications would be excellent additions. both for lineup variety and historical authenticity. There’s clearly strong community interest in seeing these kinds of vehicles, along with further representation from other Nordic nations, brought into the tech tree.
The addition of the Danish M24 Chaffee was a great step forward and gives real hope that we might see continued development of Scandinavia, possibly with more content from Norway and Denmark in the future. Maybe one day we’ll even see the Norwegian Panserjager NM116 make its debut. The Danish M24 certainly suggests that its possible! They have the template now its just a matter of time^^

May sound strange but aside from Amos what does this have to do with Finland?
Probably because it would involve Patria & Hägglunds if the BMP-3 AMOS was built in production. Though you are correct that outside from that it has little to no connections to either of the two
If I had a guess the BMP-3 AMOS alongside the BMP-3 Wildcat were either intended for the following countries
- India
- Greece
- Cyprus
- UAE
Again the Amos is the only tie. So i could see it being added but id need to know if it was a joint venture or if they just bought the weapon system. It could go to two nations at that point but it seems like it would be a argument of x nation deserves it more because a lot of people don’t want to share joint venture vehicles cough cough Begleitpanzer lol
Realistically joint venture doesn’t matter given the Ito 90M wasn’t a joint yet france got it. So it could go to Sweden because of the weapon alone.

If you read the translated text, you will see that it was a joint venture between Finland and Russia. Alongside with Germany these prototypes were Kurganmashzavod’s attempt to connect with the western markets, something they required collaboration with other western companies to do.
Gonna be real i completely missed the translated text
All good, I did has well and assumed these to be photoshop originally lol
Intended for any user of the BMP-3 really, the examples the text provided were UAE, Kuwait, and South Korea.
