Lol it seems the finns loved capturing russian tanks and slapping more armor on already armored tanks.

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.

Spoiler

T-26C Viku - Command tank with bolted on extra armor

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.
