Other values will result in the platoon arriving with stragglers, which is realistic.

I like the way you think.

That, or load the formation into a huge ferry and set the ferry's arrival to a random %.

This is not a bad solution, but it works for infantry only. Would not work for vehicles. I do a lot of island invasion scenarios, and this is a situation in which using formation reinforcements - tanks loaded onto landing craft - would make the set up process go much faster. Again, thanks for the solution re: infantry forces.
If you load a passenger into an APC and then set the APC's reinforcement variables, they both arrive together. The code harmonises the details of any currently carried passengers when the carrying vehicle reinforcement data is set. No need to set both. So loading a tank into a barge should work the exact same way as well.

(SP has no way to load a passenger unit into a vehicle unit which then is itself loaded onto a barge.)
