"In game, however, the M60 is a feature at squad level in every instance after its introduction. ".

There is a 7.62mm M60 LMG in US weapon slot 14 and a 7.62mm M60 MMG in US weapons slot 36. The light version is the issue here the MMG is ONLY used at the infantry level in this game in MMG sections attached to platoons and never in a "squad".

There are exactly two ( 2 ) regular army rifle squads that have the M60 LMG included and both are Vietnam era 1966- 1972 . That's it for the regular army units. Two squads-- and they cover the time period where the weapon was used at squad level when it could be acquired and are by NO means the only squads available in the game for that time period

There are 27 "rifle squads" in the US OOB so there are 25 that do not have an M60 LMG included and of that 27 there are 24 that exist after the introduction of the M60 that DO NOT have an M60 so just how do you get "In game, however, the M60 is a feature at squad level in every instance after its introduction."

??? "every instance" ???

The majority of the remaining cases where that weapon is found in a "squad" are airmobile ( six squads with four in the Vietnam era out of nine total in the OOB) and mech infantry ( 9 squads four of which are Vietnam era out of 30 total in the OOB) The balance has a few scout teams with one and some engineer squads. This is all available to you by using the data base checks in MOBHack. I'll save you the trouble, Here who uses an M60 LMG in the US OOB....

TWO rifle squads. And those two squads ONLY exist in the formation 200 ( Rifle Pl VN ) and NOT the regular army rifle squads and the Rifle Pl VN has two of the four squads in the platoon with M60's included in there make up ( so two that do not ) so once again hardly what you are claiming it's available.

So please explain how that became ..."In game, however, the M60 is a feature at squad level in every instance after its introduction. " unless all you ever buy is airmobile and mech infantry and even then this weapons is not available in every instance of those units ?
