Formation 53: O/M Rocket Bn
Formation 110: SP-Rocket Bn
Initial availability date changed to 1/1954
According to all sources I have seen so far BM-13s were not made available before or in the early phase of the war; the ones employed later were probably under chinese, rather than korean, control. I would suggest pushing at least the Bn sized formations to 1/1954. The rest can be left as they are for the time being.
Unit 78: 12cm Mortar Sec
Currently it is not available in the game during the korean war. I suggest changing the initial availability date of formation n. 114 Hvy Mortar Pl to 2/1948 in order to address this.
Unit 310: Rifle Section
M38/44 Carbine in slot 3 replaced by weapon n. 6 PPSh-41 (to represent squads with mixed SMG/rifle armament)
Unit 583 Ch'onma-Ho IV
ERA deleted from the hull, front hull HEAT armor increased from 33 to 35
On further examination there are no ERA (if it is ERA) bricks on the hull. The armor increase to 35 would offer some protection against basic LAW. It seems reasonable that it would be designed to resist against low end enemy antitank weapon if feasible.
Unit 25
1) Icon changed to n. 3430 (a reasonable close proxy)
2) Weapon n. 155 Susang Po replaced with weapon n.128 9M313 Igla-1 (AP rounds replaced with HE)
3) Weapon n. 106 125mm D81T 00 in slot 1 replaced by weapon n. 102 125mm D81T 88 (safe bet that they are not using latest and greatest russian ammo)
4) Armor values reduced. Something along the lines of 40/50 (KE/HEAT) for front hull and turret and 20/25 turret side.
Based upon the tanks shown during the last parade.
Unit 26
It should be deleted.
Units 624-625: Chuch'e-Po
Icon changed to their proper n. 3607
Units 279-633-634 170mm Koksan
The rate of fire should be standardized, preferebly lowered to 2 as already is in unit 634.
ROF is reported as 1-2 rounds every five minutes by most sources. Slower than the sustained rate of fire of a M107, but then again the range is greater and so probably the charge.
Unit 361: Reserve Section
1) M38/44 Carbine in slot 2 replaced by 7.62mm DPM LMG
2) Final availability date restricted to 12/1980
Units 106-107 VTT-323
Speed could be lowered to 23 in line with the other VTT-323 units.
Unit 487-491: BRDM-2
FC could be increased to 2
Formation n. 17 SPG Platoon
The number of units should be reduced to two.

Unit 486 BTR-40 and formation 36 Recon Platoon
I suggest initial availability dates to be pushed forward to 1/1954.
North Korea did not get its first APCs until the war was over.
