RE: Spotting Anti-Tank Rifles
PTRS are better than PTRD because they have better ROF. The penetration difference in immaterial. Also, you can buy a veteran PTRS for 12 points - the extra hitting chance and resilience once return fire starts are well worth the single extra point of cost.
As for dealing with them, bring full panzers and close. They can't even inflict damage on a full AFV from the front, or with any serious side angle even from the sides. Stay buttoned and close in, and you will spot them without them being able to hurt you with any replies.
It is only light armor that has to avoid their LOS.
Also, beware of trying to deal with numerous ATRs in good cover by using infantry to find them and suppress them for you. They will suck away your squad ammo in no time flat, and frequently rally right through the fire. Even if you do KO one or two, the cost to the Russians is tiny, and your squad ammo will not rally.
Use vehicle MGs from full tanks if you must suppress them. Otherwise, just deprive them of targets they can hurt, and ignore them.
