I think that at least a few of the Syrian IV's were mobile. I've never read anything about Tigers in Syrian service, though*.
You're dead on about the Tiger's psychological impact, Paul. Aside from some mobility and maintainance issues, it was a very good tank and hard to beat. On our poll, the T-34 ranks very high (and rightly so) but quite a few Tiger aces destroyed scores of T-34s on the battlefield.
