Transportation of support weapons

Hi! First of all thanks for this great game.
My question arises each time I try to lead an advance of forces containing support weapon crews: RPG, MMGuns, ATGM crews (malyutka missile for example). There is no option to board these small crews into any IFV.
Thus there is no good reason (at least I don't see it) for advancing mechanized forces to spend points on them.
Nevertheless even official scenarios has setups where advancing army has MMg, grenade launchers, recoilles rifles, whose fate for the scenario is all the same: lag greatly behind attackers, being unable to provide them with their strength. Am I missing something? Is it possible to transport them or at least there is any valuable tactic using them during advance?

That's definitely a drawback at the moment. That and only units that are assigned to a vehicle (the dismounts that come with a vehicle) are the only ones that can load/reload to it. Hopefully, at some point the 'passenger' coding with get rewritten/tweaked to allow for that. I am hoping that would also allow for airmobile operations when/if transport capable helicopters could be loaded.
