Its worrying.
At least you could trust W&T, either it was accurate or corrected in a following issue.
Its worrying that where you have access to real and proven info, some articles are horrendously wrong in multiple respects and experience shows that letters of correction are ignored. I note a current case of the centre-fold two page spread with text detailing the German Sd.Kfz. 138/2 Jagdpanzer 38(t) 'Hetzer', however, the huge picture is of a Swiss G-13, easily spotted by the muzzle brake as the gun is entirely different, let alone the various non-Wehrmacht, Swiss fittings on the glacis plate.
It therefore brings into question all the articles on things you don't know about, assuming the same level of inaccuracy applies throughout, then it is likely the reader could be seriously misled.
