ATGM availability

[Suhiir]

One of the main things I've been doing with my USMC OOB revision is attaching such things as ATGM's, MANPADS, etc. to the infantry companies and platoons.
The current OOB does a great job with the administrative organization of the USMC. But unlike many military forces their combat organization is very dependent on attachments from higher headquarters.
Problem is, the current OOB really only allows you to buy these attachments in platoon size units, makes it very difficult to create anything less then a battalion size infantry component for battles.

Cheers Suhiir again nice & clear. I agree with your later comments that in a lot of cases to reasonably represent a force you often have to go big. I presume what you are saying is you are making date specific pre tailored combat formations if so great looking forward to.
If possible the odd note on expected use or a doc outlining would also be great if have the time.

the number of ATGMs in formations seems ok for me, yes, the eastern nations have less ATGMs, but as the name says: Anti-TANK Guided Missle, it means that it's developed for fighting tanks, and in places like china, tanks aren't the best units, so you'll see less specialized Anti-Tank weapons, and you'll see a lot more of LAAWs (Light ANTI-ARMOR Weapon) like RPGs, LAWs, and other stuff like this

Yes, the OOB revision is date specific pre tailored combat formations (platoon and company level).
Due to the numerous reogs and changes in equipment between 1946 and 2020 it's been a "lot" of fun. And I fully understand why the official design staff wouldn't touch a project like this with a 10 foot pole
Due to this I also have to revise the AI picklists (of course) and that's a major pain in the tush.
As to documentation...
I have a dozen books, five zillion web sites, discussions on blogs, a couple letters, and a few dozen scraps of paper with notes scribbled on them. So I'm afriad providing any worthwhile documentation would be more work then the OOB reorg has been.
Sorry.
I've been working (on and off) for over a year now so I wouldn't suggest holding your breath for it.
If you have specific questions however I'll try to answer them.
