I was always in favour of human SU build control, but I started to come around to Flav et al preference for historical arrivals as building blocks. My thoughts changed as a) building an uber Red Army is too easy and repititious, and b) said New Model Army does much better than a historical Red Army. OK, Then, I thought - "What does this do for the whole capturing ARM, HI and Population thing? What is the point if historical reinforcements arrive good to go? Does everything arrive full strength? Or worse, will the Reds be saddled with 1000's of SU's that have been ordered to arrive at 0 TOE for which no FACS to produce their kit exists anymore, or there is no ARM available etc. So you can envisage say a huge pool of SU 122 ansd you keep getting sent Rocket Battalion shells. An echo of this is the arrival of late war German shell units, which now I understand can be disbanded. While there is another WITP vs WITE thread, the 12 OC High/BTR analogy ( for german production at least) may be more appropriate.
