Hey, if seven months is reasonable, so is 18. Devs should take a look at this when it finally comes time to do that Black Sea release. Shame it's an issue across multiple games for the same weapons platform.

I am pretty sure that units on the same side should be able to mount and acquire equipment from other nation's transport during setup or while playing. I have no idea if ammo of the same calibre is really shareable or not and I have never tired having one nation's soldiers fire another nation's AT weapons. I would conduct experiments before actually trying to use it in game.
Thanks for the reply. That's kind of what I was hoping, but my awkwardness in the editor has been dissuading me from testing. I'll fiddle with it until I get it figured out one way or the other and let you know what I find regarding the equipment and commo sharing.

In scenarios incorporating personnel from multiple BLUFOR nations, is it possible for American Marines or Soldiers to board - for example - a Canadian infantry transport and to then acquire that transport's Carl Gustav and ammunition? If they can do so, can the units then make use of it the same as they would anti-armor launchers organic to their own country's/service's formations and vehicles?
Similarly, does the FBCB2 platform on non-US BLUFOR vehicle platforms function in concert with American FBCB2 battlefield networks as long as they're deployed as allied forces in the scenario editor?

LOL..., you hit the, former, jar right on the, former, head.
Everyone that completes basic training is a certified grunt (0311).
Even the cooks have a "War Face".
Plus, sharing a foxhole with a Cook in an emergency situation has 2 benefits
(1) They know how to shoot
(2) They can prepare a gourmet meal out of the field rations, you are both carrying.
Wow, years later, I know, but I was browsing through the forum and just saw this. This is wildly inaccurate. When you leave an MCRD, you are a basically trained Marine, that's it. Which counts for something, but you're a far cry from a rifleman. "0311" is a PMOS assigned to someone who qualified to become an infantry rifleman at one of the Schools of Infantry, at their subordinate Infantry Training Battalion.
When you show up to SOI, you (were) funneled to either ITB, or Marine Combat Training (MCT). MCT is essentially a familiarization course that mostly teaches non-infantry Marines how to conduct themselves adequately in an engagement that is incidental to their actual occupation.
All the prospective infantry guys get tossed into one box when you first get there, and then you start filtering into either rifleman training or one of the more specialized infantry roles available to us. This filtration starts a few weeks into the course proper, where you're offered your preference for infantry occupation, and then you have everyone divvied up into their training elements for their specific infantry MOS after that.
TLDR, no one in the Marine Corps holds the 0311 PMOS except 0311s, and it's not a secondary MOS, either. The closest thing Marine recruits get to being a "rifleman" at MCRD Parris Island or San Diego is your rifle qual.
Slay bodies, sports fan.

Here's hoping you guys fixed the Mk19s on the AAVs, Strykers, and Humvees so that weapons companies can accomplish the same tasks they do in the real world. And the Marines ATGM LAVs, for the same reason, and the Canadian LAV with ATGMs, for the same reason. And the Gill.
