Default Re: Weapon errors data

Exactly.

Lot's of times things have been missed because the original OOB designer decided to go with some "national" flavour so a T-55 is a T55 because that's what they call it at the Uzdreckistanian defence ministry. Or a half dozen variations on a .30 cal MG.

Yes, ultimately this is our database and we are responsible for what's in it and that's what we are attempting to do because at the time the OOB's were first created we couldn't look over everyone's shoulder . As Andy says, once we know that , for example, there are variations in Breda HMG's we can search for them but sometimes it's impossible to guess every variation of that name someone could have thought it should be known as especially when there may be one set as "Breda M.30 LMG" and another as M.30 Breda LMG. When we find things like this I try to standardize the names but it's not always possible to imagine every possible variation and something may be missed so yes, if anyone finds anything odd please let us know and we'll fix it
