It appeared, that the photo http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...psb0d544e6.png is most probably old propaganda fake. Here is original Soviet tank, without an eagle: http://www.dws.org.pl/download/file....0531&mode=view

I suggest to remove Sherman at all - or at least reclassify it as #253 Tank (gathering training tanks)

28 SU-57 - a detail, but a main weapon should be renamed 57mm M1 gun (its performance currently differs slightly from US M1 gun, and from Soviet OOB 57mm L73 ZiS-4).
Max speed was 72 km/h (24), like of US halftrack. Same remarks for Soviet unit 088.

31 SU-85 - there was no DShK AAMG, or any other AAMG.

37,36 ISU-122, ISU-122s - it's worth to give 37 ISU-122 a new gun A-19S, with the same performance, to differentiate them (in the Soviet OOB they have different ones).

Weapon #75 122mm L48 D-25T of ISU-122s has currently better penetration and range, than #63 122mm L48 D-25, and better than the same gun in Soviet OOB (all should be the same). In fact, weapon 75 was named D-25S (for SP-guns), and 63 - D-25T (for tanks).

52 T-4 - they were used without side screens.
The photo is very German one. Unfortunately, there is only partial photo of Polish LWP tank http://www.sokol.slupsk.pl/Polskie_koty/5.jpg
There might be used http://www.sokol.slupsk.pl/Polskie_koty/2.jpg of Polish forces in the West.

53 T-3 - they were used without side screens (as the photo shows).
In Polish reports they were known as T-3 (75mm), to differentiate from Pz III tanks.

54 T-38- in Polish reports they were known as T-38 (75mm).
I'll attach a photo.

93 PTRD - a photo doesn't show much, there is a better Polish one: http://www.2wojna.pl/encyklopedia-su-bs-006.html

146 76.2mm Howitzer, 147 76.2mm Battery - weapon should be named wz.42, not wz.43 - it was ZiS-3 field gun, not wz.43 infantry gun (off-map range is OK).
Also picture is wz.43 infantry gun - Soviet oob uses 14139, or there are better photos of presumably Russian guns:
http://muzeumgryf.pl/wp-content/uplo...zis3-m1942.jpg
http://ww2tanki.ru/images/artillerij...a-zis-3-23.jpg
http://историк.рф/wp-conten...016/03/012.jpg

- or I'll attach Polish photos.

159 122mm Battery - it definitely should be class off-map heavy arty (now it's #156 light arty).
As far as I can see, now there are no formations for #156 class - which contains also 147 76.2mm Battery

219 Taczanka - icon 3491 should be for all seasons (winter and desert is wagon now)

221 76.2mm obr27 IG - better name is 76.2mm wz.27 IG, as of unit 276.
BTW, one of these units is redundant - they are the only ones in their classes; the one in Infantry Howitzer class is used in one cavalry formation, while the other in Pack How. class is used as infantry gun, and also with the cavalry. If you'd like to, you could replace one of them (appearing later) with 76mm wz.43 infantry gun, and make both the same Infantry howitzer class.

76mm wz.43 infantry gun was used from some late 1943 I guess. It should have picture 29367, max range 4200 m, short twin-tail icon eg 2163 (It could also go to Soviet OOB)

234 Jaskolka class - there is a proper picture 20643

There should be added Panzerfaust as Inf. AT - used in quite a big number from 3/45. Soviet photo 14081 could do.
There might be also added an infantry squad with Panzerfaust, although they weren't obviously in all squads.

That's all this time.
