Formations in the OBAT which are usable by AI?

Are these formations are marked somehow? Or there is a file somewhere with a list of them?

I guess that the most of them are 'original' formations from the Vanilla Steel Panthers but maybe some were added when the game was rebuilt to WinSPMBT?

No, they are not. There used to be " AI only" formations in the OOB's but we got rid of those around 2005..... there are a very ( very,very) few formations in the OOB's that only the AI uses but they are not marked as such any longer. There are 17,549 formations in MBT so you won't find them

There **may** be some very, very small chance that there are residual, tenuous connections to the original SP2 picklists for some basic formations that the original nations used but they are VASTLY more complicated than the originals
