The sections dont have a transport, which in another game, they would. Like a small APC or Jeep for your ATGW sec or HMG sec. Why isnt it in the game? The reason for my question is that in a real world a ATGW sec fires 1-2 AT robots and then they jump into their jeep and regroup further back(FAST!), passing the other AT section that will fire when the enemy comes. If they dont it happens what happens in the the game, very good!, 2-3 minutes after im firing I have artilleri raining down on my position, which in reality it would. Funny enough though is that enemy art wont hit my on map mortars or AA.

So the AI is doing a good job but the game stops me from reacting correctly

I believe one of the issues was that the AI at the current moment don't know how to properly utilize vehicles for CS units like TOWs and MGs, so to keep a balance and not give any undue advantage to the player over the AI they removed vehicles for the player.

The French have a lot of dis-mountable ATGM teams, also the Germans have Milan equipped Infantry squads that can dismount from there Marders...

Its still one of the biggest issues in the game. The fact that having even basic MG teams unable to scoot back quickly to fall back positions in a mobile defense is kind of a killer.

I really dont see the difference between a scout sec and a MG or ATGW sec. One can use transport the other one cant

Also, a manpad in a HQ unit can use a vehicle but not the manpad sec. Could on e vehicle carry 2 units, like an M-113 caeey 2 manpads or is it one unit per vehicle? Also couldnt the MANPAD sec, or HMG or whatever use Humvees? however they are not in the game, why is that?
