What is the best way to organize their estabs?

For example a StuG battery from 1942 is supposed to have:
7 StuG III assault guns
3 Sd Kfz 250/3 Ammunition transports with a Sd Ah 32 trailer.
1 heavy evacuation vehicle Sd Kfz 9.
13 3 ton trucks.
2 2 ton trucks.
1 medium AA terrain vehicle Kfz 4
3 medium radio terrain vehicles Kfz 15
1 light technical vehicle Kfz 2/40
1 light terrain vehicle Kubelwagen Kfz 1
10 motorcycles
1 tank transporter Sd Ah 116

2 MG-34
7 MP-38
63 Kar98k
63 pistols

How to organize a similar unit in game to make it work realistically?

Put the stug's and their crews in the battery unit, and put everything else in the base or maybe HQ.

Base that would be subordinate to the battery?

The battery is a company sized unit. Maybe the 1942 estab is different than the '44, but the '44 stug brigade is in the game. Basically a brigade HQ, 3 batteries, and a base unit. Like I said, I think it's already there, but with later model vehicles.

In 1944 here 40 men of StuG crews + 60 men of support.
In 1942 it's 28 men of StuG crews + 100 men of support.
That's why it's a company-sized unit.

Infantry companies carry their support with them.
