Playing as the Soviets, I have some spare tanks laying about after disbanding most of the independent tank brigades.

The most straightforward use of these would be to create a few tank corps, but currently I need more defensive units. Looking at the OOB of the motorized rifle division and the mechanized corps, I can see that, except for the tanks, they are mostly identical. So changing their organization model would give them a bit more of a punch. However I am unable to.

A motorized rifle division can be changed to rifle division, tank corps or cavalry corps, nut not a mechanized corps. Is it because it is to early (May 1942) or am I missing something else?

P.S.I can find no unit able to change into a mechanized corps, however an artillery group change into a tank corps, or a Sturmovik division

Its too early..you get Mech Corps in Sept or Oct. You will also get artillery divisions later...

I did look up the dates in the event code for Wallas, but forgot what I found...

I can help out, I saved this nice piece of intel. Belated thanks for digging it out by the way.

Build dates according to LiquidSky's findings (pre 1.05beta):

Russian Mech Corps: September, 1942.
Russian Separate Tank Battalions: October, 1942.
Russian Artillery Divisons: November, 1942.
Luftwaffe Field Divisions: December, 1942.
German Heavy Panzer Battalion: December, 1942.
Assault Gun Regiments (probably Russian) January, 1943.
Tank Corps: January, 1943 (adds an artillery unit to the corp)

Thanks for the replies!

Guess I will just have to rely on the tank corps for now.
