– Finland’s early SPAAG are quite lackluster, with the ubiquitous ITPSV SU-57-2 (= Soviet ZSU-57-2) & Sergei(= Soviet Ural ZU-23-2). – Finland’s tube artillery is made of the 122mm PSH 74 (= Soviet 2S1 Gvozdika), the 155mm Telak 84 (= Israeli Sholef, although an earlier, less accurate prototype) and the 152mm TelaK 91 (= Soviet 2S5 Giatsint-S). – the same goes for the last Finnish mortar, the TelaKrH 66, a Soviet ATS-59 tractor mounting the Soltam M-66 160mm super-heavy mortar, already introduced in Wargame with the Israeli Makmat (another product of the Finnish-Israeli cooperation). The mortar itself being actually of Finnish origin, it was only justice that it came back to its original creator … First of which, the TelaKrH 71 is a 82mm mortar mounted on the flatbed of an amphibious Terra 865BM, while the TelaKhR 84 is the equivalent of the East-German Gw-Sfl Tundscha 120mm mortar carrier. Yet, since most Finnish mortars are towed IRL, we’ have had to “mount” some of them. – the FDF’s undying love for mortars is well-established, and had to be modeled ingame.
– and finally, the Rannikkojääkäri are the elite naval commandos, quite similar to their Swedish Kustjagäre counterparts. As such, they are extremely efficient at clearing woods & building, and on a side note have become your humble servant’s new favorite infantry unit. Although only equipped with light AT weapons (but in abundance), they are armed with the (WW2) old but extremely reliable Suomi KP SMG, as well as CQC MG. – the Kaartinjääkäri are 15-man shock squads specialized in urban warfare, and therefore entirely dedicated to close combat. Trained in CQC and armed with more powerful AT weapons, they are a force to reckon with. They are the mechanized infantry available in Armored & Mechanized decks. – Finland has two types of shock troops, the first of which are the Pansaarijääkäri (also coming in two variants). – ATGM teams from the mid-80’s include the PstOhj 82M (= Konkurs) & prototype PstOhj 94 (= Spike), the latter being the product of the profitable military cooperation between Israel & Finland. – Finland doesn’t have infantry ATGM in early game, thus is granted a FIST squad (aside from the particular case of the Nostoväki) in the form of the Raskassinkoryhmä, armed with 95 S 58-61 RCL, more commonly known as “ Musti“. – the 2-men MANPAD teams will take the form first of the ITO 78 (= Strela-2) and ITO 86M (= Igla-N), the latter being the naval version of the Igla with a bigger warhead. – the Jääkäri (coming in two variants) are the regular FDF riflemen, available in all decks but Marine. This, unlike other reserve units ingame which all are considered rifle squads, Finnish ones will be classified as FIST teams. In Wargame, they’ll come armed with WW2 leftovers M/39 rifle (= Soviet Mosin-Nagant) and the national trademark Lahti 20mm anti-tank rifle. – Finland maintains a strong reserve force to supplement the regular army in case of war, the Nostoväki. – and finally, the FDF will have a 5-men infantry command squad, named Komentojoukkue. – Finland will get a Mi-4 KOPA as a command helicopter. – the FDF fields two command MBTs: the classic T-55A KOPA and the T-72 KOPA. – regarding tracked vehicles, Finland relies on the BTR-50YVI & BMP-1K KOPA command variants of those respective APC & IFV. – as can be expected from Sisu Pasi‘s home country, the main wheeled armored command vehicle is the XA-180 KOPA. – the Finnish command jeep, is the antiquated GAZ-69 KOPA, ancestor to the usual UAZ-469! – the FDF also uses the ubiquitous Mi-8 as cargo helicopter, under the designation Mi-8P KPI. From 1985, it can also count on the heavier SA-150 KPI to haul more supplies. – Finland’s early cargo truck is the Terra 865BM KPI, a light amphibious truck. – as each and every country ingame, Finland will have a FOB, the only ingame building, to re-supply & repair friendly units.
