Default German Motorcycles and their Units

Good day,

I few days ago, after updating to 2.5, I was doing my usual German OOB's mods, such as adding Befehlswagens, and a few WHAT IF's for post May 45 scenarios and a thought occurred to me. The icon for the Kraftrads was only one MC sidecar, so would it be more realistic if the Units were modified to reflect this. So I changed the four Unit available.

-I gave them 3 men, max on a MC sidecar.
-Reduced the Hand grenades and MG ammo.
-And reduced the cost accordingly.
-Formations were changed to a section, 3 MC's and a Squad of 10 MC's.

I'm presently using 2 of these Squads as my KG's Recce, and the results were grand, Now that these are no longer 10 man Units, they are a lot more effective in their intended role, the temptation to use then as infantry is no longer there, and they can cover more ground with the MARK 1 Eyeball. Hope this idea is of interest,

Man I love this game!!

Cheers, Bob
