Exclamation Re: MBT's

The AI chooses units from a picklist and it only picks from ONE picklist.

The " Allied" / "Captured" feature is for human use only so is of no use to the AI when it chooses units

So.....the USMC has US Army assets available to USMC starting 7/2021 primarily for the AI to use. The > 7/2021 formations COULD HAVE been " renationalized" so the human player would not see them in the game but the AI would see them but then we would have to explain over and over why there are no tanks to select in USMC > 7/21.

Players preferring to see the US ID tag for armour units >7 /21 are encouraged to use the ALLIES function and then their Marines will have properly ID's US Army tanks but that is not an option for the AI

Doing it the way it was done simplified matters ( K.I.S.S.). In RL the USMC can request US Army armour support if the mission requires armour and that's what we have but they will be tagged USMC UNLESS the human player buys for the USMC and uses the Allied button to buy armour > 7/21
