As I can't edit my post - I have to double-post:

Austria also has Hercules transport planes for the paratroops:

Hi @ all!

I did some more research and included my above suggestions in a modified OOB for Austria.

Additionally some new units and changes to old ones were done, changelog is in the quotes.

I'm glad for any comments, tips!

Is there anything special I've got to do to get this OOB into the next patch?

There at most two ways to approach your changes to the Austrian OOB. You choose to modify the OOB, requiring interested parties to download it, or you could have changed the units using the Editor and/or Scenhack. Personally, I would have used the latter so as not to inconvenience players and really the OOBs serve as the Pick List for the AI primarily.

When you want to use a unit from a different country you can make that country an ally in the Editor and then make your purchase, and edit as needed in Scenhack or use the Editor.

Concerning formations, form them in the OOB above slot 900. If unit changes are required, make them in the Editor or the Scenhack after a purchase.

Thanks for the references as it appears you've done the research and I accept your personal experiences as a qualified source... big thanks for the effort.

I'll give it a drive and share my experience in the forum.
