British light AA section

[d1973]

I took a look at the British Light AA Estabs and I saw something strange: the "1m-uk-LAA Sect-40mm" Estab has a speed of only 1kph(thou it has 2 motorizet tractord),but the same Australian class of estabs ("1m-au.cf-LAA Sect-40mm" for ex.) has a speed of 6kph (wich I think is normal).Is the UK AA 40mm foot movement a bug?Or is only a typo in the Estab and this would not affect the game movement?

Thanks!

That is odd isn't it?

I had a look and yes, it looks fishy to me as well. It may be a typo but if it is, it would effect movement for units using this estab in the game. I noticed the movement class is "foot' as well which doesn't seem right with the Quad tractors.

These estabs where created before my time so I can't answer the why or what for.

I also noted that the mounted recon cavalry has the same speed as foot infantry.Is that normal?And if the same speed value is not set by accident,what is the difference between the mounted and foot troops?

Sorry for disturbing again guys,but I found another one:The German motorised MdmArtillery Battery has four 10.5cm caliber guns .Instead,should be the  15cm cal. sFH18 as is correctly provided to the horse-drawn mdm battery estab.Please note that the motor Mdm Arty Bn. estab is also correctly given the 15cm gun,so the "1m-hr.pzd-Mot Mdm Arty Bty-15cm how" estab is the only one among the mdmArty units that has 10.5 cm guns.
 
     Please,don't take it as grumbling,and I don't mean any offence at all to your good work,just pointing some issues I find not in order,with the hope you can fix them somtime,or if you put them like that on purpose,maybe a little elucidation won't hurt! Thanks!

No worries d1973; this type of feedback is both welcome and necessary.[:)] I'll try to answer these to the best of my knowledge.

Horse drawn units share the same speed as foot class, but weather effects the 2 classes differently. I think there are some reasons related to the engine mechanics that require keeping movment rates somewhat homogeneous within motorized/non-motorized classes.

That said, mounted cavalry units are rare so far in the system, so this unit may have been overlooked and treated as "horse drawn" instead of "mounted". Perhaps there is an argument here to give this particular estab a higher max. movement rate, but that may not be what was intended.

You are correct. Those motorized estabs should have been labeled as "not used" or deleted entirely. Hopefully someone who would be designing a scenario will be savy enough to spot the correct ones for the Medium guns.
