MikeAP -> Mounting Vehicles? (2/9/2014 10:28:26 PM)

Is it possible to have echelon units mount vehicles?

For example - I have a WP mechanized infantry platoon. I want to add a SA-18 team to the platoon equipment, so I delete a sub-unit infantry squad and add an SA-18 team (click and drag into echelon)

When I test this, the mech platoon will drive away, while the SA-18 team is forced to walk.

Is there any way around this?

Mike,

Most of the Soviets Motor Rifle have AA platoons with APC and SAM units. I would add that to your formation and remove the extra teams if you don't need them. Adding a pure leg unit will force it to walk. At some point in the future we can look at possibly adding a swap unit function in the editor to allow for sub-unit level changes.

I did exactly what you suggested.

Added SA-18 with BMP, then added as a sub unit to the modified mech company (platoon).

Maybe I'm being really picky, but it bugs me that it is showing as a platoon symbol designator.

To fix that you would need to build a custom formation for a Mech AA Section and give it a section size designation and add that formation to your new mech structure.
