The Continuation War

[Zbojnik]

Some were some were not

M/91-24 vs M91= more accurancy
M27M28 vs M91/M91-30 More accurate, less reliable
M27 vs M28= Practicly the same, M28was a little more reliable...
M28-30 vs M27&M28= much more accurate & reliable
M39vs M28-30= A bit less accurate but more reliable

I'm just going to ask you since I have not had the honor of shooting any of the Finnish Mosin Nagants. Which one wins the "most accurate" award out of those you listed?

 

[Sormus]

Probably M28-30, since it was used as a sniper rifle too.

 

[myzko]

Do you know what modifications they had? ...

another quote:
Finland

Prior to 1917 Finland was part of the Russian Empire and therefore some Finnish Mosin-Nagants were at one point original M1891s. Many rifles were acquired from foreign sources during the 1920s and captured during the Winter War and Continuation War. Finland never manufactured Mosin-Nagant receivers, relying instead on existing receivers from its stockpiles of purchased and captured rifles. Nearly all Finnish Mosin-Nagants have been refurbished and modified in a bewildering variety of ways. Modifications could be as minimal as an [SA] stamp and new sights to a complete overhaul with new stock, new two-piece birchwood stock and new accurized barrel. Many Finnish Mosin-Nagants have two dates—a date for the barrel and a date for the receiver found under the tang. Some of these receivers date back to French production in the early 1890s. The Finnish Army continued refurbishing and reissuing Mosin-Nagants well after its wars with the USSR were over. There are Finnish M-39's with barrel dates into the early 1970s when they were issued as officer training rifles.
Models of Finnish Mosin-Nagant rifles were identified by numbers: M27, M28, M29, and also were known as Pystykorva rifle.
Finnish Mosin-Nagants are known for their accuracy and dependability. These rifles fetch much greater, although still reasonable, prices on the arms market than Russian or other Mosin-Nagant Rifles. The famous Finnish sniper Simo H

As a Finn, I'd be more than interested in playing scenarios taking place in the Continuation War. The Karelia map in Forgotten Hope (BF1942 mod) for example kicks major ass even though the mod itself isn't that great.

 

[Reaperman]

BLASPHEMY!


Forgotten hope is the best mod ever made


And karalia is great, love the radio music and awsome forest/trench combat..


Did they ever get around to adding finns into the game, or is it still Germans with russian weapons?

 

[myzko]

They are finns now, and they talk Finnish. But they still have that really wierd artilery behind the river.

 

[Sormus]

Oi, finnish radio commands would be nice, but they'd need to be more finnish than Silent Storm's Olli

 

[Vonreuter]

"Mahdoton!"

Silent Storm's Olli sounded like he was an Estonian pretending to know Finnish.

Do they still play Forgotten Hope?

 

[Sormus]

"Onnekas!" "Mina en ole tjuutjuvainen"
"That sotilas will not bother us anymore"

 

[Werner]

"Vakava wound." Olli kicks ass even though he sounds like a mongoloid.

 

[myzko]

Who the hell is olli?


btw, kickass signature Werner

 

[Sormus]

Olli was probably the best fighter in Silent Storm.. i somehow feel it was unjust.. Suomi was best smg, finnish knife was best melee, Olli was best soldier.

Back to topic:
Finnish weaponry needed ingame!

 

[MkH^]

Considering the amount of Finns playing this game - also reflected in this thread - adding the Finnish-Russian front would be a great idea.

 

[hellhammer]

Im not of Finnish blood, but i do love to read about their struggle during WWII. It would indeed be a great addition. In theory, it shouldnt be that hard to impliment....would it? SDK has been released, if the RO devs do not pick this up, i hope some talented mappers/modders will.

 

[Vonreuter]

Yeah, we need some modders who won't sit on the mod for years. I don't think it would be that hard to do some uniforms, voices and a map or two!

"That sotilas will not bother us anymore"

For some reason this dropped me from my chair. I can hear it in my head now. But my all-time fave is still "Mahdoton!"

We need to get the voice actor from Silent Storm if we're going to make a mod of the Finno-Russian war! Perhaps it's some weird Ingrian dialect? Heck, they have some weird Bavarian doing the sounds for the Germans.

 

[Sormus]

taunts anyone?
how about
"Ruki veer"
"Hakkaa p

More like "mahadoton" while he's choking on some kind of bretzel. We should definitely hire that guy so that our voice commands are 101% authentic.

Back on topic, if I get into mapping in RO (I have some experience from HL1 and HL2 Hammers), I'm definitely going to support a Finnish modification. I may be able to do some sound stuff too since I have a condensator microphone, Behringer mixer and a Hoontech studio sound card for recording.

Linna's Unknown Soldier provides a plethora of classic taunts:
