Hello, during the grand campaign of 39-45, we receive heroes in the infantry. Some of them receive an SE transport (Wirnsberger, Sutkus, Allerberger, Hetzenauer). Do these SE 250/1 count for the soft cap? I always thought not since SE units don't normally count. But I did a test on a scenario and it looks like they matter.

Let's say we do the test on Prohkorovka43, I deploy 44 units out of a maximum of 45 allowed, all core units. SE units are separate. My soft cap is at 100%.

Now, for my 45th and last allowed unit, I put Sutkus (Gebirgsjäger43,12-OS with transport SE 250/1). Soft cap drops to 97%.

If I remove its SE 250/1 and leave him without transport, soft cap returns to 100%... but wait ! The SE transport is not supposed to count normally for the soft cap ? There shouldn't be any difference, but here we went from 97% to 100% !

Afterwards, I tested Sutkus with different combinations:
- Gebirgsjäger43, 12-OS with STANDARD transport 250/1 ($200); soft cap is 97%
- Gebirgsjäger43, 12-OS with STANDARD transport 251/1 ($100); soft cap is 98%
- Gebirgsjäger43, 12-OS with STANDARD transport truck ($50); soft cap is 99%

At least here, the logic is respected. By increasing the value of the combo, the soft cap decreases.
So according to this test, Sutkus with his SE 250/1 is worth the same as if he had a standard 250/1!

My understanding is that unless the units themselves are SE, transports will count towards the soft cap, whatever they are.

Agree, I want to add for SE units such as Gebirgsjäger do not use the transport, better delete it, in order to move freely into the mountains and also do not pay costly repairs for the vehicle.
