Default Re: Need Help with Helo Unit Class Problem

Here's a few general rules of thumb for modifying an existing OOB

1-Do not remove units that already exist. If they are used in a sceanrio the scenario will be buggered up as a result. If you absolutely have to remove a unit renationalize it to nation zero

2-Do not remove units that already exist and replace them with something totally different. See 1 above. If you correct info for a unit that's fine, but don't change a tank to an infantry unit or an aircraft to a artillery unit

3- The picklist looks for specific formations for specific time periods. Therefore, it is possible to change a formations structure and the AI will happily buy it and use it but if you radically change the dates it exists you may run into problems. I do not recommend altering the picklists. Some people have done it successfully, I still recommend against it.

As for "TO's that include the "normal" attachments from the company weapons platoon" there is no reason both the existing method and this method of formation building couldn't be included in an OOB. That way anyone wanting to use a company with a separate weapons platoon could and anyone wanted them blended with the rifle platoons can as well
