Default Re: Soviet 00B 11 Corrections/Suggestions

In the Soviet oob there are BT-7 and T-26 tanks that have the 7.62mm DT BMG weapon. However none of these tanks had a bow machine gun. These tanks did sometimes have a turret rear facing machine gun and I suspect the BMG might be there to simulate it. But simulating it is a bit problematic in a game like Steel Panthers. Would the tank fire its main gun and co-axial and then turn aroud its turret to shoot with the turret rear machine gun? Many BT-7 and T-26 tanks did however have an AAMG.

Would replacing the BMG with an AAMG for the following units be a good idea?

Unit 002 "BT-7 M1937"
Unit 004 "T-26 M1933s"
Unit 101 "BT-7M"
Unit 181 "BT-7 M1935"
Unit 337 "T-26 M1937s"
Unit 338 "T-26 M1939"
Unit 555 "BT-7M"
Unit 845 "BT-7M"

A small addition:
Units 004 "T-26 M1933s" and 224 "T-26 M1933" could use unit picture "27842" since these are the earlier T-26 models with the cylindrical turret.

Removing a rear-facing MG is a good idea (especially, that not all tanks had one), but only some tanks were armed with AAMG, from 1937, and usually they are not seen on photos.
