Syrian Machine Gun Units - OOB03

[shahadi]

I would like to include HMG units for inclusion in my Red Line Syria series, however it appears only the section, unit 101 NSV HMG Section is available. This section has two 12.7mm HMG's while I want to work with one 12.7mm HMG.

Question: Does the section deliver greater lethal fire than a unit? And, does the section has a better surviability than a unit because the section has twice the crew?

I want to split the section into units or teams of 4 man crews for the 12.7mm HMG for obvious reasons, namely to spread the teams on the battlefield supporting Syrian platoons better. Additionally, while passengers, a hit to an APC will not take out the platoon's HMG support.

So, in Mobhack, I made a platoon formation and added two 12.7mm sections. In the Editor, I selected a section, pressed the D key, changed the name to NSV HMG Team, changed the men to 4, changed the second weapon to SKS Carbine, deleted the 3rd weapon and reduced the cost by half. After modifying the first section, I cloned the reminder.

I also, followed this procedure for the AGS-17 GL Sec unit 103.

This got me what I wanted but with more changes of error and work, however, I did not touch the OOB other than to create a formation above the 900 slot.

Question: Is there an alternative?
