3. I don't get it. Am I supposed to get a formation for AAMGs in 1931, or is everything working as intended, and Nat Chi is not allowed a AA formation early in the war (very true, NatChi had very little credible AA assets ( there was nothing to shoot at), and the game represents it very well by allowing them a pea shooter AAMG as the only AA weapon. I miss the Bofors from WAW .)?

I guess if it is the secound case, I better grin and bear the planes in the first mission, and quickly upgrade my HMGs to AAMGs.
The AAMG UNITS are available in 1930 but the FORMATION that puts them in the game doesn't start until 1936. That's an error. That formation ( 27 ) should start 1930. You can change that with MOBHack

3. About the tankers who look like infantrymen. I loaded another campaign, bought a few armour groups, and checked their armour command ratings of the officers. They still have armour ratings in the teens, but with pretty decent infantry command ratings of 60s. Now I am not complaining about this at all (very historical, a few of my distant relatives talked about how rare it was to even see a tank, much less find someone who knew how to drive and use it), but when I look into the manual and see that nice example officer with decent armour command ratings, and then look at my own tankers running after a few shots and generally missing the enemy, I get the feeling the KMT army has reached the bottom of the barrel and are assigning random conscripts who may have never seen a engine in their lives to command tanks. I mean, heck, my pioneers ( guess they know engineering) and a few infantry have better armour command ratings. Is this a bug, or a cool feature that adds a lot of historical flavour? I am playing on default historical troop quality by the way.

See what I said the first time about a SAVE GAME. I cannot see what you see without one. EVERY time I load a regular game in the time period you mentioned OR a campaign I see armoured units with leader armour ratings in the high 50's to mid 60's generally. There are no officer armour ratings in the teens.

There could be a dozen reason why you are seeing what you are seeing including incorrectly set prefences or simply misreading the rating. If it's the game I haven't found any proof so if you are seeing armour officer leader ratings in the teens your're going to need to provide me with a save game or a screen shot. I just checked 8 Nat China tanks in a campaign set up to start August 1931 and here are the armour command ratings for those eight tanks

64
58
69
53
64
66
56
67

The armour command rating in this game is the last line of the ratings and is just above the "kills" line. Are you sure your reading the correct line becasue when I checked I can see LOTS of ARTILLERY command ratings in the teens for these tanks
