Well, I meant that vehicles with different armaments should be listed separately. Just like we can list cars that have the same body but a different engine separately.

But here listed same vehicles but with different bodies (sedan and pannel truck is listed as different vehicles). This is same situations. BTR-152A have another bode, redesighned for installing AA-gun but without seat place for infantry as regular BTR-152.

Actually no. Most of factory produced armored vehicles has been desighned for use one model of weapon. For example: soviet ZSU-57-2 is a special vehicle, but technicaly it's just a T-55 tank with another turret and S-68 AA-canons, but it will be wrong ti mark ZSU-57-2 as "T-55". Returning to BTR-152, original BTR-152 is a base for many factiry-produced machines like other militaru vehicles.

But since we're looking at the problem in this way, maybe all tanks along with different guns should be listen in World of Tanks page as well? Here chassis is the same, the only difference is gun. But since it was counted by Soviet military as different model (152A) it's okay. What if it wouldn't be?

Well, there's a difference here as well isn't there? In a military vehicle, the gun is as much part of the package as the engine.

Kirov solved the problem, since they are different models.

@Antti-san
But these Skylines even if the number of them is exceeding common sense and logic still got differences like trims, versions, engines, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it Internet Game Cars Database, not Internet Game Cars Weapons Database. Sure armament is a bit different, but is it really the reason to include both of them?

This isn't the Internet Game Skyline Database either, but we still list all those practically identical Skylines in the GT series. ;) So I don't see any problem with this.

Actually, this is different vehicles (by soviet military marking). This variant is armed with ZU-23-2 is original BTR-152. Another variant in this game - BTR-152A, armed with ZPU-2.

Same vehicle, but different weapon.

What is the point in including two exactly the same vehicles?
