Default Thoughts of Denmark OOB

I am crap at making OOBs, so dropping some notes that could be useful. I have a weakness towards Danish Army and would see certain thingys fixed :P

- Infantry unit (qualified as heavy infantry) with M95 rifle, M62 LMG, Hand Grenader and M50 Mortar is available waaaay ahead of historical schedule - back in the 80s. This is most likely a typo as it is available since 1985, and should be 1995;
- For this reason there is no M75 rifle armed heavy infantry section with mortar during the 80s at all :P
- One company of each of Danish mech battalions was motorized. Would be good to see standard infantry with organic light truck transport;
- That company involded a command section, three platoons of three sections as well as three mortar tubes;
- Technically speaking Stingers were probably available in the field around 1988 instead of 1990 - but I got no direct proof for that;
- You removed certain obsolete gear from Danish force kinda too quickly. Achilless tank destroyer should be available up until the end of 1990;
- Home Guard sections armed with Garand rifles should also be available till 1990 - there are pictures of them training with Garands by 1988 at least;
- Generally it would be good idea to divide Home Guard into what we have now (active Home Guard) and Reserve Home Guard - the latter could have access to the older gear as well as get some EXP/MOR penalties. Similar solution is used in East German OOB;
- Denmark was one of the first nations to effectively employ structural combined arms. If one wants to be particularly meticulous, Danish could get combat teams like German, British, French OOBs focusing on tank-heavy and infantry-heavy teams;
