[Pibwl]

I've browsed through Syrian OOB, and have some comments:

#10 PzKpfw-IVG - I didn't find reference of G in Syrian service, only screened H's (maybe you know they are correct).

#11 PzKpfw-IVH - all photos and drawings in popular books show tanks with screened turrets only, without hull screens. At least some were armed with some AAMG.

#48 BTR-152K - better pic for K variant (with roof) is 29107

#50 BTR-60PB - they were available in 1973 (there exist photos of PB wrecks from Golan Heights)

#83 85mm D44 FG - should have picture 11082 (11084 is used for 100 mm BS-3 gun)

#98 PKM MMG Section - proper pic is 45377

#108 Milan team should have pic 6075 (current one is used to represent AT-4 in the game - when we replace it with a proper AT-4 picture)

#110 Metis team - proper pic is 23745

#125 Mil Mi-14A - if it's really meant to be naval helicopter Mi-14, then proper pic is 29140

#134 Mil Mi-25 - better pic is 11122 (current one is used for Mi-24A, when we replace it with a proper Mi-24A)

#135 Mil Mi-35 - better pic of 30mm-variant is 11190

#165, 166, 169 - MiG-23BM, MiG-23BN, MiG-27 - I suggest to change picture to 11156 - the same, but 11143 could represent fighter variants, if we replace it with better one. Flat-nosed 11156 represents MiG-27 in the Soviet oob.

#220 B10 Recoilless - proper pic is 29215

#235 BRDM-1 - BRDM-1s were rarely armed with 12.7 mm DShk, what is confirmed by photos (it concerns all countries, I have no specific information on Syrian ones). Zaloga wrote, that "some Soviet" BRDM-1s were armed this way. Most should be armed only with SGMT (precisely saying, AAMG variant was named SGMB).

#290-292 JS-III - correct name for all countries should be IS-3 (Russian ИС-3)

#302 JSU-152 - correct name for all countries should be ISU-152

#324 BRDM-2 Malutka - they were available in 1973 (there are photos of wrecks from Golan Heights)

#325 BRDM-2 Konkurs - better pic is 29253

#478 85mm D44 Pl - should have picture 11082 (11084 is used for 100 mm BS-3 gun)

#520 25mm SA34 ATG - more appropriate picture for light AT-gun would be 9191 (until proper one would be found)

(I must explain, that I'm aiming at precise usage of pictures for a purpose of optional pack of improved pictures, that is under construction ;-)
