Paradrop able weapon mounts ?

Hi,

Following the exchanges in my previous post (I can't drop airbone troops anymore) and if I understand correctly how it works :

Parachutable land units seem to be checked by their weapons mounts rather than an non-existent inner tag (certified parachutable) like the ones that exists to determine if an aircraft can airbone refuel by any means (property : probe, etc...).
EDIT : in reality I guess that parachutable unit status depends both of the training ability of men AND the weapons limitations they carry.

I understand that land units aren't defined by "mens" since they are mobile facilities with weapon mounts. So if the cargo-able rule is the weapon mount check only, there are some units or weapons that need to be corrected :

I didn't tested all the DB of course, but in my scenario I tried foreign french legion, french paratroopers, generic platoon (from memory). They can be loaded in airbase as cargo.

The french ones have a 12.7mm weapon mount and 81mm mortar in their platoon. They can be loaded as cargo into airplanes without interdiction pop-up messages, but the fail result is that they stay in the planes and don't unload/drop as intended.

EDIT : I just tried a french army platoon without 12.7mm (just 7.62 and generic AT) and it dropped fine. So it's not a bug or damage relative on many tests in the core scenario file.

An independant 12.7 platoon canno't be loaded as cargo into an airbase as it is simply not listed in the right side of the cargoable panel (unit /load cargo)

I guess that if we stick to the rule of weapon mount (based on weight, volume ??) the land units considered as parachutable need to have their weapon mounts changed to satisfy the restrictions, but currently it wouldn't be correct as I'm pretty sure that 81mm and 12.7mm are "light" weapons.

So perharps the better would first to fixe the weapons mount databases rules, but as I'm not a paradrop specialist, I don't know how the limits should be fixed. In 1946 or 1970 perharps the safety and limits of the parachutes were more limitated then today where we can paradrop heavy weights, like jeeps if I remember what I've seen on the web.
