[serg3d]

Here a modified OOBs for speculative Middle East:
All modifications start Jan 2006 and desined for AI PLO and Siria.
Israel get Merkava 4 scout vehicle - carry 6 people and half ammo.
Mercava ICVM moved from 2008 to Jan 2006

All Sirian armor upgraded.
PLO get some new toys.

Things to do: reduce cost for Siria ?

Details :
All Sirian Armor without ERA retied from Jan 2006. BRDM-2, BRDM-2 Koncurs remains. Siria get T72BM1, Chiornij Orel, BMP - 3/3M/3M(V, R), BTR-90, BRM-3/3M,(V), BMP-3 Kornet, BRDM-2 Spandrel. Strela-2 SAM retied.
PLO get Krizantema ATGM team and all russian flamethrowers teams as support for police, hamas and al-aqsa.

Dont you think that it is quite unrealistic to Syria has Black Eagle?This tank is just technology demonstrator. Krisantema for PLO? They will not get them, maybe Kornets from Syria, but it is questionable that Syria will get away any of these missiles, as they are the only chance to kill Izraeli tanks...

[serg3d]

Of cause it's not realistic, but the whole idea of sudden and hugely expensive rearming of the Siria and PLO getting new weapon (and even having Strela-3) considerably less realistic. It's kinde of "what if" alternative reality loosely based on the Putin promise (caused by his complete ignorance in the Middle East situation) to arm PA during his Israel visit. Krisantema for PLO is exacly because Siria have Kornet - to make a difference. BTW I still havn't figured out how to force PLO to use atgm.

What about give them Rpg-29 instead?

[serg3d]

May be give them Rpg-29 too, but I want to see Krizantema vs Merkava in game. In game Kornet seems can not penetrate Merkava 4 effectivly.

But, no one knows how effective armor of Merkava Mk4 is.There are only estimates...
