Of course, this is a tool to find possible errors and easy cross-checking. You can never override the human judgement and information, this tool should only show the blatant errors and then some possible errors (like the Canadian Bofors example).

My point is if all you do is look down a database list for discrepancies you WILL find them but given all the work that's gone into this in the last few years there is a good chance they may be that way for a reason but I don't keep notes on every one of the 35,000+ units or 15,000+ weapons in that one game

Sure, only the obvious ones should be reported and some possible ones discussed. Again, this is a tool to help obat editors so you can easily check where this kind of weapon charasteristics usually go. For example in my own mods I have to occasionally cross check the units statistics and then if I want to be sure, I have to check multiple nations. That's how I noted the Czech (IIRC) rocket launcher size 0 and came up with an idea of an automated tool. (So, I finally found some use to my university studies...)
Anyway you guys are doing a stellar job, I just wanted to have an automaton that could inform about mistakes and possible mistakes.
And good news, the Finnish OOB is now the default, 5.0 one. So you can use that to check for apparent mistakes.
