New Russian OOB (or SPR OOB)

[Marcello]

So basically if I understand correctly that heavy MG platoon is a sort of compensation for the absence of the BTR/BMP, rather than a standard formation.

Hello Marcello.

No. You have misunderstood me. I spoke about that that - Rifle Inf = Mech Inf winthout BTR/BMP. As such variant of structure of divisions is possible only in defend basically in support to these divisions gave heavy mg.
Mech Inf with BTR/BMP - we have completely made a standard platoon of support in our OOB.

Best regards

sorry for my bad English

If a Heavy tank platoon is only two tanks that makes your heavy tank company only 5 tanks.

Only five tanks in a Heavy Tank company ? Not much of a company----- more like a platoon.
