Has anyone been playing the new Kursk Campaign?

Wouldn't call them "recent upgrades" and I don't think there is much further development ongoing...

But still the game is more than 10 years old and it's still fun and very challenging...

I have just started to play this Campaign, but upon deployment I realized that formation hierarchy is quite messed up.

The Heavy Panzer Company HQ (D Formation) doesn't command any platoons under it. Its "supposed" subordinates, the 12 or so Tigers spread accross 3 platoons, are under the command of an obscure SdkFz formation (K Formation). And then, this K Formation, which is supposed to be a company HQ, is under the command of O Formation (instead of directly under the A Formation! I don't even know such a thing could be accomplished in the game, subordinating a Company HQ under a Company HQ!). This O Formation commands the Panzer Grenadier company, while another Company HQ (I forget which formation) which is supposed to be a PzGren Kp HQ doesn't command anything under it!

The hierarchy is just so messed up that I dared not play the actual battles.
