Default Re: Soviet OOB11 - 2020

This is the photo used in the game shows a production model being built



When the photo is inspected and compared to the restored example shown above



That does look like the DT mount

And this confirms they were mounted during the war



That photo is captioned
Quote:
Two DT-29s can be seen on either side of the gun.

and ..........

The gun shield had a hole for the KT-28 gun in the center, with two small ports on either side of it, in which two DT-29 machine guns could be mounted. Normal operation of the mount was with the gun facing to the rear of the machine to allow for greater crew mobility. However, the vehicle could also operate with the gun firing forwards.
However

These photos DO NOT show them mounted




Given only 14 were made some obviously did have them and some did not so what is in the game is correct based on those last two photos but I will change the photo and add the DTs and change the end date to 1/44 because it is highly unlikely that having them or not is going to change the outcome of a game

Give it time........ It might show up in Ukraine......
