Btw regarding intergrated CG into squad, very rare as SOP for both LAW and CG is to fire two at a target, b/c if you miss things get a bit hot...the new BH2010 is putting the CG into the squad, which pissed people off, because they don`t get the changed requirements in austria (the CG really used here in FIBUA.
You mean both CGs in a platoon would generally be fired at the same target simultaneously?
If so, one option (that would severely restrict operations) would be to fit both weapons together in an 8-men AT team. That plus putting one sniper inside the command squad as Shan said would leave room for the trucks and the motor Jäger platoon would fit the slots available.
This solution lacks elegance if you ask me. I've used it for recent French mech platoons and it doesn't work that well compared to two separate AT units (whether stand-alone or in a squad).

Puch G or Pinz 4 (with M2) were used in KoPoSiPo function, but uparmouring is a bit dicy, you're right. Maybe just give it a 1 frontal armour (for the shield)? pls? )
No can do
From the Player Info.txt help file:
Quote:
Soft vehicles like trucks and jeeps should NEVER have armour in front of 1. Doing that screws up the ammo selection routine in the game.
Units with any 1 armor point on whichever side will always be considered armor, will be fired at with AP/Sabot/HEAT rounds and if hit and penetrated will blow up just like any other armored unit, instead of going with the crew-killing routine of unarmored units.
If that's armored trucks you're after, give them 1 armor all over. If it's just an unarmored truck with a gun shield, keep 0 all over, anyway the gun shield doesn't provide that much coverage in the first place, in regard of the whole vehicle.

On vision, rifle-mounted starlight scopes should give you 5-10 or so, correct me if you have figures of night-fighting range. IDK what is the convention about rifle squads with one only NV device for the whole squad.
