[DRG]

The OOB's evolved over many years. Many units were added to nations that may not have had them directly as they could have been used as support from other nations........ for DD for example a Canadian unit could have requested them as support...... whether they did or not is irrelevant.

As the game evolved the ability to "borrow" units from other nations as allied or captured which negated that need to add them to nations that may not have had direct access to them but by then the OOB's were well established and we were not going to remove units like that as doing so makes unnecessary work and introduces more chance that someones favourite saved game uses them so that is why they are still there and will remain so.

If you think you should not use them then don't use them and if you think you should not run them up to the shoreline then don't. "Free will" means it's your choice

Our enthusiasm for making major alterations to the OOB's at this stage is ZERO ESPECIALLY for a unit that has been used for decades in the form it is now........ WYSIWYG

ALSO..... " minimum range" is set for weapons like that in the "Sabot" slot of the weapon NOT the unit so if other units use them that may not have a range restriction then we would have to build a separate weapon just for those and we could have and even might have done that (maybe.....) had this conversation been started 2 decades ago.......so again----- WYSIWYG

Feel free to create your own OOBs. We include all the tools to do that with the game
