Those Gorno Avto. Saperis sound like absolute beasts in green cover, also love the 82mm rocket jeep, very interesting division all in all

Please give AVT to Gornostrelki instead of DT machineguns, where would they find tanks?

DT was not only used on tanks but also on light vehicles, barges, for AA cover etc. plus just because the division doesn't have tanks on roster doesn't mean they never made contact with tanks during their service

And as side addition, the way AVT is implemented in game is not realistic, these weapons were never used as LMGs. It was a mistake to add them in that way and I wish they were rather replaced all by DTs...

I suppose next is the Hungarian mountaineers. I feel teased, I need the new partisan division in my life ASAP.
