Not checking any (from the net) before asking but how do these differ from the earlier versions UM has produced like over a decade ago? |

Was there any significant number of BT7s (or 8s) left by the summer of '42? |

Don the BT-7 was like a cockroach impossible to kill off. They were even used in 1945 during the Russian Manchurian campaign! |

Well, having them in the Far East is understandable. Japan didn't have anything much better, nor had they seen any combat there during most of the war. But were they still used against the Germans in '42? (Sure they would have used 'em if they had 'em, but did they still have 'em?) I want to know if it's legitimate to include some in my '42 Soviet forces. |

Yes, but after 42 pretty rare on the western front. As an example Romanian forces captured 32 BT-7s up to November of 42. |
