Mixing & matching APCs

[Suhiir]

For the most part (due to maintenance/logistic reasons) the military tends not to mix vehicle types in smaller (i.e. platoon and company level) formations. This is not to say it's not done, just rather uncommon (such as the formations Imp pointed out).

In game - do as you like via the editor !

Generally yes, for logistical reasons, however if I recall corrrectly BMP-1 and BMP-2 were initially mixed; their armaments were sort of complementary and were not too different in terms of spare parts, mobility etc. Same probably apply to some BTRs, I would expect the autocannon armed ones being parceled out as fire support vehicles; again spare parts and mobility would not be too different.

Cheers Marcello think the example was overstating but for front line units will tend to have 2 APC types, same family not mixing BTRs & BMPs but pick 2 with diffrent armament. Still think the majority would be one type with a few "specialist" types in the mix.
