I’m looking for sources on the Pr.253L on the dev server. I’m trying to identify what Pr.253L we are getting. The Pr.253L (also known as the MT-1) is the vessels with hull numbers T-351 to T-389. Every source I find says that the Pr.253L has 2 DShK machine guns, but then all the images I see have twin-mounted machine guns instead of the single mounts ingame. The ingame one also has this small cone sticking out of the back of the smokestack. I cannot find any Pr.253Ls in the range of 351-389 with these features. Can someone help?
Image of the features I am looking at for reference:

I ran your question through Chat GPT, and the only source it could find was this: T-351 minesweepers (projects 253L, 253L-P) (1943 - 1946)
I’ve seen this before. Whatever this is, it doesn’t exist on the English side of the internet. I’ve buried through the Russian side too and I’ve found a lot of stuff but not quite this configuration. I tried ChatGPT as a last ditch effort and it turned up nothing.
I fed gpt your image as well, as I have access to the premium version of it. The only images it could find were of duel mounts. Though GPT stated that the duel mounts were likely later configurations of the boat, some post war pictures I found all show it with its machine guns removed. Separately, have you seen this link? https://www.worldnavalships.com/forums/thread.php?threadid=16457
Thanks for trying to help. I have seen that link. I have gone through every single image on it. None are it. I’ve lost my mind over this ship for a week.
