Default Re: What 3 companies should I buy If I want to be as accurate as possible?

Narwan, did you compile those? They're very detailed and generally helpful.

I have noticed one nitpick, and also looking through these brings up an interesting set of questions. Firstly the M114A1E1/A2 didn't enter service until 1969 (its listed in the TO&E for 1965 ACAV Squadrons). The 1965 TO&E for units not in Vietnam should be just 4 M114/A1. In Vietnam these were replaced with M113s with the ACAV kit.

Also, the TO&E here notes 2 2-man scout sections (and I believe, though I don't have the game in front of me now) that this is also represented in game with 2-man cavalry scout sections. The issue I'm starting to have here is that the Scout Sections at least in the 1965 TO&E for the ACAV Troop had a grand total of 12 guys, split between two squads, each with two tracks, each with a crew of 3. These crew members were a Scout Observer and Scout Driver, and while they could dismount if necessary, critical functions of the vehicle would be unable to function (movement and/or weapons). To get to the point, though not looking at it right this second, I believe the setup in WinSPMBT allows for tracks with essentially 5 crew instead of 3 (an additional two dismounts).
