Japanese OOB omissions.
Hello
Just defending a hill in Manchuko in Aug 39 and I noticed some oddities in the Japanese OOB. Firstly a lot of units seem to be missing. So I guess this is a bug report. For example in v 7 there used to be a "Infantry coy G" and a "Infantry coy H" and a "rifle platoon E". These are all now missing! Interestingly if I view the Japanese OOB in the bundled Mobhack for v 7, Mobhack doesnt pick up these formations either but you can pick them in the v7 games purchase screen! Secondly and I dont know if this is related, but inf coy F (formation 210) in v 7 used to have the indirect fire capable GL section (which is why it has a patrol added to spot for the mortars, though I would like to see a coy with the indirect fire GL and no extra patrol added as it would be a bit cheaper) In the latest version these have been replaced by direct fire GL versions (weapon 151 or 217 ). Surprisingly in the current version weapon 217 is only capable of direct fire when in Infantry Coy F but can fire indirect when in "Light Mortars" (formation 088).
Unfortuneately I have bought a regiment of coy F to defend my hill and now I find my carefully sighted GL's cant cover the dead ground as expected. As if it wasnt hard enough already.
I would greatly appreciate a change back to the indirect fire GL's in Infantry Coy F, or beter still in all Jap infantry coys.
Best regards Chuck.
