The AI will not do so, but then their use is fairly limited to few special occassions on Caucasus.
As for Russian infantry units, I won't touch the OOB with a ten-foot pole if I were you, it is just so interlocked on all sides that making a minor change might result in the need to rework all. Believe me - I have tried to change APCs from "Wheeled", "Tracked" etc to "squad-capacity" (BTR-60PB+ and BMP-1+) and "larger" (from early BTR's with cap of 17 to MT-LBs) and it was pretty painful  Add to that very few free slots...
If you really wanted to do some changes to Russian OOBs, you might use few tricks still (like changing all snipers to para snipers and deleting the duplicates etc) but you need to be very careful. |
So in short, as I suspected, it's very messy. Alright, I'll just add some formations to it, and post them here, as well as going through it and deleting formations that Russians never used. I'll do that after my PBEM games end, or I'll see if I can use a friend's computer for it. But yeah, looks like it's in need of a major overhaul.
As for the Chechens, what you are talking about are Green Recruits who charged at anything and everything. I'm talking about more experienced Chechen Fighters, under GRU Command. These for instance got disbanded, but there are more battalions like these. I guess judging by the number of slots, that won't happen though.
