As you've probably realized, the 'Misc Small Arms' covers everything from E-tools and .45's to a brace of AAMG's. A limitation of the engine and the database is that you can only really have one type of crew for each nation. You simply can't have a Crew for the .30 cal Jeep that packs a .30 Browning, a crew for the PzIIIJ that packs an MG34, a crew for the deuce-and-a-half truck that just packs a .45, etc.
It would be cool, and it's something I'd love to fix in a few years (when I'm good enough), but for now, no.
...
And yes, I've seen derUbermensch. I had a crew in a halftrack that got stuck. It was also taking arty fire, and the battle I knew was short. I loaded them up on a Panzer, thinking they'd soften a shot or two and then I'd get them the frick out of dodge.
Nosireebob, they weren't having any of that. I saw some Brits ahead. Cool, I thought--and fired the tank gun at them. Bam! Buddabudda bam bam! The tank was out of rounds, and the Brits had begun running across the panzer's front. So, I dismounted the crew. They had 2 shots left.
There go the Misc Small Arms, wakkawakkawakka! ...
When the battle was over, that crew had gotten 3 kills and an XP bonus since I'd learned to dismount them (and save all their shots), then move the tank 1 hex away and blow the crap out of people. I immediately upgraded them to an AT halftrack to serve as their unit's backbone. Very, very nice.
The lesson?
Sometimes you get a guy in an REMF position who's only there because of an injury he got when he was still a combat Ranger. ;)
