Spandrel, TOW MTLB, SPG techies: TANK squad or APC

ATGM vehicle can not be on the APC squad. The icon is the same SPG icon and atgm vehicle dont do a apc/ifv job.

Haley,
Can just change the one sentence from

Tank squads require a minimum of 4 members before being locked.

to

Main battle tank squads require a minimum of 4 members before being locked.

Vehicles that are still in dispute (unclaimable or not?) are:

Open-air gunner position. (similar to non-CROWS HMMWV)
US: M113
MEC:Boragh

Chinese: ZSL-92A

German: TPz Fuchs 1A8

French: VAB VTT

Similar to CROWS
Chinese: VN-3

Dutch: Fennek VWWRN

Yes, those vehicles is like HMMWV. For example, in Op Marlin, every squad take the VAB VTT. In Ulyanovsk, every squad take the TPz Fuchs 1A8. In black gold, every squad take the ZSL-92A. BUT the icon is similar to a apc icon.

AND ON MY OPINION, ATGM vehicle can not be on the APC squad. The icon is the same as SPG car. And atgm vehicle dont do a apc/ifv job. The same with BRDM2 and VN3. They dont have APC icon and is not consider a APC/IFV.

The rule of tank squad needing minimum 4 to lock, is narrow and doesn't properly cover some maps that only have 1 tank on a team. This is also true for apc squad needing minimum 6 to lock. This should read: 4 is needed for tank unless fewer than 2 vehicles claimable. And 6 for apc squad unless fewer than 3 vehicles claimable

Also, some of these "apcs" don't carry anyone but driver & gunner.

I would propose:

vehicles like spandrel, and any other armored vehicle that doesn't actually carry passengers, and meets the claimable assets standards, be claimed by tank squad if there are MBTs on the layout, being played, for that team. Otherwise they are claimed by apc

Any vehicle that doesn't require a special kit to use main weapon is not claimable.
Any vehicle that has no weapon is not claimable.
Any vehicle that does not require a driver present in the driver seat to enter the main gun position is not claimable.

If there is no squad for a given asset anyone can use the asset if it is manned properly. If a squad is created in the interim they must join that squad or relinquish the asset.

Your suggestions would require extensive admining and not allow the admin to play the game as he would have to constantly monitor who has been authorized to use what asset and review the logs or take notes to determine who is allowed what asset and who was asked to return what asset...its an admining nightmare.

Above: This is going to get confusing for admins as there's nothing defined for this situation.

Simple.
