[1.11.08] Adding MANPADs/Flak to a custom mechanized unit doesn't add transports

[Elver]

Per subject. Had a customized Mechanized AT unit (8 AT + 8 APC) with RPGs added(+ 8 RPG + 8 APC). I added MANPADs to it, but rather than the expected (+ 4 MPD + 4 APC), I got merely (+ 4 MPD). Further testing shows to be consistent both with other base types and with motorized transports; adding any MANPADS to a mounted infantry unit (independent or OHQ) will not add transports for them. This is in stark contrast with other infantry types, which will add both the infantry and sufficient transports to make the entire unit the same speed.

Further testing shows this is not limited to MANPADS, but also applies to Flak artillery units; unlike other gun formations, no transports are added for anti-air artillery that is added to a motorized/mechanized formation.

good to know. Its probably because the whole transport auto-add thing has been a work in progress for a few updates now, and AT guns are an Artillery unit. ...something like that.

Ive been eyeing that same AT gun + Armoured Transport combo myself, thinking it looked especially strong.

edit: oops you said anti-air doesnt work with any mech/motor base unit, not just ATGs, right? I'm just going to try it now.
