Taking a Break?!? :-)
A few weeks even seems quick! The way I see it, most companies release a game with a few significant bugs here and there, and they are, in essence, a work in progress, but paid in full for. Fewer companies release a game that more or less is broken, out of the box, and requires significant patching just to be played through. (And then take the consumer for a fool, claiming they had no idea that the game would not start at all, etc.. :-) Still fewer release a game that is perfect, or damn close out of the box, and have a few patches, mostly refining what is, or adding new stuff. And THEN there is you guys... you offer something that took a long time, was far from profitable (other than good reception and building trust) and is works fine, having a few small flukes here and there, but most of the "problems" are with improvements.... (Long campaign points, flying trucks,)and then plan on releasing patches for that, quicker than many "pay to play" games!
Guess that means we can't whine and cry. :-)(And should be sending you checks in secret so Matel won't bring out the Attack dogs..err lawyers.) ;-)

19 out of 34 Finnish FT-17 tanks were mg-versions, so this should be added.
Versions of BT-7 tanks were M35 and M37 models, I think the -7a version with 76,2 mm gun was not in use.
T-28 tanks were reinforced to E models so the basic model should not be available until 49 but around 43 instead.
There is a strange bunker thing. The OOB file contains several bunkers that have their nationality as Germany. They also have bit strange weapon combinations. Have these bunkers been left out intentionally or is it a bug?
MOLOTOV COCKTAILS! What a shame to forget the main AT-weapon during the winter war.
SG43 MMG has a wrong pic
Seth already mentioned the cannon equipped Fokker. Btw, cannons were actually trialed but they slowed the plane down and their recoil caused inaccuracy.
Pz-IVj's machine guns should be DT's
OT-130 flame tanks were converted quite rapidly to gun tanks so the availability date should be changed..until 1943 I think.
What's a 75mm vz.19 Field gun? My sources don't recognize it. Better choice would be 75 K17. (American 75MM Gun M1917)
KV-1 tank trivia bit 
There were only two tanks in use and they were different models, KV-1E m1940 and KV-1 m1942. Trivia 2: It's still the heaviest tank that has been in Finnish use.
Myrsky II fighter was a complete flop, it participated only in the Lapland war (carefully) and was withdrawn from service already in 1947 after one plane disintegrated in dive. Remove it. Or if you want a replacement use a MS 406 instead.
Gaz-AAMG. Did you want to include a mobile flak? Afaik some were captured in winter war but they certainly were not in use before that.
there were only 12 152 H 15-17 guns in use, better choice would be russian 152 H 09-30, over 100 in use during continuation war.
Many cannon units have Suomi SMG's. These should be replaced with some crappy rifles, for example italian rifles. It was a common practise to give poorer weapons to units that were not really frontline units.
In the coastal gun bunker the 203mm naval gun is tad uncommon..4 were in use. A 152/45 Canet was the most common Finnish heavy coastal arty, you could use a 150 or 155 mm naval gun in it's place.
Landsverk 182 armoured car was armed with one 13,2mm HMG and two 7,62 LMG's. (one car was in use)
I may later look at the individual weapons. Already I'm quite amused that for example Sten SMG has same accuracy as Suomi SMG, but weapon stats are something that can be argued forever.
Hopefully this post comes out even semilegible...
