The full solution will have to wait for whenever we update the game again but if you do not PBEM and don't think you ever will you can easily fix this exactly the way I fixed it

First off this little "problem" goes back to a change made in 2012 so obviously few people use those armoured HMG formations otherwise we would have heard about this sooner

The armoured HMG formations are stand-alone's so they are not used as part of a larger formation so fixing is simple

In the master OOB they now look like this......

509 HMG Sec /APC
510 HMG Sec /BMP
511 HMG Sec /Lt APC

so they are "sections" not platoons and you create that by removing the template transport vehicle from the fourth slot and put it in the third slot leaving you with 2 HMG teams per vehicle instead of 3 then you change Plt to Sec for the formation name and the "problem" goes away

Then change BTR-82's from 108 carry to 109 carry.....that *may* be incorrect to some but it's what works.....it's a game not reality and we cannot break up units like can be done in reality so sometimes we have to bend reality and that is what it takes to make MG Pl /APC work using the BTR-82's

The other two name adjustments have been made as well
