In the game, Mech Plt's are showing only 2 Squads. They Should have 3.

This is a big disadvantage for the US player as it shorts the Mech Co a Platoon of Soldiers.

Wow..caught back in Nov. Surprised that didn't get caught/fixed.

Thanks

We are working on a data update to follow the pending 02 update. We have a number of corrections and tweaks being made, and need time to test and update all scenario data accordingly.

What is the citation for that source image? Just need to crosscheck. It's been discussed internally, and as Jim said, a fix will be addressed in an upcoming data update.

I'm currently reviewing the American scenarios and this is not an issue that applies to all US scenarios, thankfully.

We will see how feasible it is to update the affected scenarios. Also to note, the doctrine is a best-case scenario and in reality, there were understrength platoons and logistics constraints so not all units would have the exact load outs. So we'll determine what's an error and what makes sense, narratively speaking, if they deviate from the manual.

This image I located in a 2002 Field Manual and is not historically accurate to 1989.

We still require a data update and some scenarios might need changes accordingly.
