Question for Bill about research minor countries

Please, forget this dummy question...
I had forgotten to check "upgradable" for Hungary in "Advanced research data" windows, I have now the 2 types of transport units (they work with a house rule to be applied by human player, to move or redeploy some no motorized units
I keep the question here, in case of another dummy modder will ask the same :lol:

I know that minor countries have no any independant research, and that their research level does depend of the research level of their "parent", ok

But is there a way to be able to display (and to set) the individual level of "manual upgrades" for units of minor countries ?

In my ASL Tactic Command mod, I used Hungary to be "WEHRMACHT TRANSPORT TRUCKS", and I would want to have transport trucks and transport half-tracks. Ordinary, I use the first slot of manual upgrade to change type type of units in the mod, but concerning "hungarn units" (Transport units in the mod), no any individual upgrade level does appear at this time. Is there something I missed or is it impossible to display that ?
(see attached image)

If it is impossible, I will set France in Axis side as "WEHRMACHT TRANSPORT", but I would prefer to not change side of major countries, to avoid possible bugs

EDIT : I did see in default campaigns that it's seems be possible to display individuel upgrade levels fdor units of Minor countries (example : Finland). I certainly missed something, but what ?

Yes, all is ok. thanks. It was my mistake, I did just forget to check "upgradable" in the concerned minor status research.

There are 2 important things to do when we mod countries and I forget frequently to do :
1/ To set minor countries as "upgradable" (in advanced research windows)
2/ To set minor units "attachable" to Major HQ (in country data)

Concerning my mod ASL Tactic Command, I never seen the AI of the game like it plays actually in the mod : giving fire range = 2 hex to motorized and mechanized infantry (to modelize high "mobile combat" capacities) seems galvanize the AI at an incredible level.
And same for tanks, with a range fire of 2 (scale is 1 hex = 500 meters). Strategic Command in a tacic scale is really a complete and totally different new game, you should consider to explore these possibilities in the future (when my mod will be released, you will see your game with a new aspect, it's incredible : AI seem have been made for this scale with medium size maps 8-)
