[edit] Opentopped turret?

Really???? What the source?--Nixer 20:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

BA-64 was open-topped, BA-64B had a turret, but I don't know how the turret roof was configured. I suspect the original wording was confusing the two models. —Michael Z. 2005-12-22 17:16 Z

Yes, seems so.--Nixer 18:54, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Have a look at the photos in the external links; it appears the turret was open-topped. —Michael Z. 2005-12-22 19:47 Z

I may have misunderstood; I thought the early BA-64-125 had the same open-top turret as the later BA-64B, but on a narrower wheelbase. DMorpheus 15:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

The BA64 in all turreted configurations had an open top. I have examined all aspects of this vehicle, I have been in them , I have driven the only two replicas in the US. They are both parked in my front yard. There were several variations of the car that never saw production. Two versions of the car for rail, two versions that had an open top including one example of a staff car, and a snow mobile. One of two snow mobiles which I researched was wrecked during trials.

Several cars were fitted with various weapons by the factory and never adopted. Some were fitted by the soldiers in the field but only one firearm was standard and the most common. The 7.62 DT Machine Gun.
