That exact same camo from 1944 remains at least until 1945. I think I have seen only one other photo of Niki with the white and blue roundel. The paint was still the same from what I can remember.
It’s still not 100% certain if Niki was upgraded by Finns. Simply put, we don’t have proof if Soviets had armor upgraded T-50s. Usually a photo or blueprint drawing is required to add a new vehicle into game and we don’t have such.
Similarly we don’t know if Finns up-armored any of their T-26s themselves. Soviets mounted few different looking add-on armors on T-26, but so far I haven’t seen one matching Viku.
However we know Finns used T-28E as a model to up-armor several normal T-28s. Likewise they up-armored their StuGs. For the concrete they likely used German plans.
That is your fault, learn the weak spots and exploit vehicle’s weakness. Mantlet is a flat slab of 37mm, pairing with slow turret traverse the T-50 is not hard to fight against.
This vehicle will be a great and balanced addition to the game, so your opinion because of your lack of knowledge will not matter nor taken seriously.
+1, maybe Finland can finally get its Rank II vehicle it should have had since the introduction of the sub-tt. Make it 3.0-3.3 and it will be quite balanced (even with extra weight it will be better in mobility than T-126)
It’s a T-38-34. They build a structure on T-38 to make it look like a T-34 for training usage. It’s not in the museum anymore, so I guess they took apart the construction and put T-38 in display in it’s original form.
