Subunit Notation (M)

[NAVMAN]

I note that when looking at a unit or units on the Subunit display, some units show the following:(M) notation.
What does (M) mean?
Thx.

[CapnDarwin]

There are a few in the naming of units to denote some units that have additional weapon capabilities.
[M] = Missile, primarily a ATGM.
[m] = machine gun
[G] = Grenade Launcher

Those are the most common systems.

CapnDarwin,
Thx for the reply. Is there a list or table showing these items?
Thx.

[CapnDarwin]

There was, because I wrote it many years ago, but it seems to not be in the current docs. An oversight on our part. I will post the full listing here and see what I can do to add it back into the Ops document.
