Don't know if this is the right place to post it:

When assiging support units to a corps HQ I noticed that all German selfpropelled Panzerjaeger units are listed as "SP Artillery".

This is not correct.

All Panzerjaeger units belonged to the Panzerjaegertruppe.

Only the Sturmgesch�tz units where counted as SP Artillery (but only after a prolonged struggle with Gen Guderian, who in his function as Inspekteur der Panzertruppe wanted them to belong to the Panzertruppe).

Perhaps these units can be shifted to the section "Anti-Tank" in a future update.

To some extent I can understand that the Sturmgeschuetz III units (at least in their early versions) were included among the "Self-propelled Artillery" ... but the Panzerjaeger units are clearly (and almost exclusively) "Anti-tank units". It seems obvious.

I agree and at least, in game terms, should be classified as Anti-Tank units.

In the past, self-propelled artillery has included direct-fire vehicles, such as assault guns and anti-tank guns (tank destroyers). These have been armoured vehicles, the former providing close fire-support for infantry and the latter acting as specialized anti-tank vehicles.

However, for the game, I think we should avoid continuation of misclassifying anti-tank as self-propelled artillery.
