CMG's are used in slot 2 and 3 and BMG's are used in slot 4. It's a bit odd to be using something named TMG in slot 3 though it would do the same job as a CMG

so that means that tanks equipped with CMG in slot #1 are the same thing than the ones equupped with TMG in slot #1?
Usually the only difference between a TMG and a CMG of a specific weapon is the TMG or the CMG tacked on at the end of the name. BMG's are a different case and although both weapons will have the same effect in the game "traditionally" TMG's are slot one weapons as I explained. This was all done long ago when everyone thought there were more weapon, unit and formations slots than anyone would ever need and it made it clear what the weapon should be used for and it's not an issue at all in any OOB with one exception and that's the Russian OOB which is low on available weapon slots and there is NO way to add more without screwing up every scenario made for the game

That said there has been some re-organization and there are more free weapons slots now but I noticed that the SPR OOB was using TGM where CMG was more appropriate and both weapons where available and I though that perhaps there was some confusion as to there usage
