For example, spob016.obf, I try correcting Formation #1077 - PzAufklZug(gep) - classed as #11 Armoured Car, but Should be Class #24 APC(Halftrack) as this is where all the other PzAufkl units reside.Regards,

First off FORMATIONS cannot be classed as a UNIT TYPE which is what #11 Armoured Car and #24 APC(Halftrack) are

Second the ONLY time PzAufklZug(gep)is seen as formation number 1077 is when it's used in Formation 219 PzAufklKp(gep). When it's a standalone formation it is simply #77.

The only two units in formation #77 classed as #11 Armoured Car are the templated 2cm cannon armed SdKfz 250/9 and that is the ONLY unitclass those units are in.


If you change the that unit to UC #24 APC(Halftrack) you put the cannon armed SdKfz 250/9 that have zero carry capacity in the same unitclass as the SdKfz 250/1 which carries 6 men which screws up the 8 formations that are using UC 24 and will cause all kinds of complaints from people who cannot load the scout units into what should be scout halftracks and if you are changing the SdKfz 250/9 found in that formation to one of the pre-existing SdKfz 250/1's then all your are doing is gutting the firepower from that formation and that is the whole reason the formation exists.
