Re: Iraqi errors report - Part 2
With this I have nearly finished with the ground units.
Unit 743: Grenade Team
It should be deleted.
The M79 grenade launcher is not a common weapon among guerrillas.The old iraqi army (whose former stocks are the main source of weapons for the insurgents) used yugo rifle grenades for that purpose. It is possible given the bewildering variety of small arms used in Iraq that it might have used by someone at some point but then we would have to put in God only know how many weapons.
Unit 760: Guerilla Group
Weapon n.18 RPG-7 and weapon n.13 7.62mm PKM LMG could be added in slots 3 and 4
Unit 774: Guerilla Group
Weapon n.124 40mm BG-15 GL should be replaced by weapon n.26
60mm Cmmdo Mtr.
Formation 87: Fedayeen Wpn Pl
The Strela in slot 3 could be replaced by something else (unit 268 RPG-7 Team for example). The Fedayeeen would not have too many high end weapons and a MANPAD is already included in formation 84.

Weapon n.87 85mm D44 Gun
HEAT penetration could be increased to 30.
The iraqis had BK-2M for their 85mm guns.

Units 240-241: 100mm AT-Gun
Load could be changed to 30 Sabot 18 HEAT 12 HE.
There were no AP rounds for this gun, only two APFSDS which are already covered in the game by having weapon 97 100mm 2A29 65 and weapon n.98 100mm 2A29 79.
