Along the same lines, though sort of opposite (how's that for confusing?)....in playing as Russia in campaign, starting 12/39, there are no partisans available. You can't choose partisans till Russia's invaded. You always have that problem don't you? If you keep partisans not available till the invasion you're keeping the availability historically accurate, but on the other hand the campaigner in Finland can't pick it. While that may seem a bit not worth mentioning, on the surface, there is a little more to this, for I know, that at least in the earlier versions, if you bought a recon unit, and converted it into non-recon (doing this with tanks is something I've specifically done) it would keep it's recon unit status. Since I noticed it doing this, I didn't want to give my core the advantage of having some stealth King Tigers later, so I've worked around it and just tried to pick the cheapest non-recon type tank in order to get the core tank numbers up where I want them, and still not have to pick the usually cheaper recon, and recon would stay recon.
What I'm "imagining" here, is that the status of a core unit stays that way throughout. In other words, in the particular situation I bring up, if the Russian campaigner specifically picks, say B0-B3 as his slots for future partisans and places regular infantry there in 12/39 for lack of partisans, then when those infantry are upgraded to partisans, they will keep the prior non-recon role they had, and though they may still be able to infiltrate, they will not be stealthy.
I must mention that I've NEVER tried the switching of regular infantry to partisan, and I would like to know if the new version will remove recon status on former recon units converted into non-recon.
