Description​

Included in the "Stella Polaris | Patch 1.13.5 Changelog - Checksum f730" update (I spent a while combing through the announcements to find it) is the following UI change:

- Support brigade 3D models now show up in the Division Designer.

This small change meant Support Companies provide a unit model option in the designer. The most visible ones are companies which add Helicopters, Support Artillery/Howitzers (self-propelled included), Flame Tanks and Engineering Vehicles/Motorbikes.

There is one noticeable exception to this; Armored Cars. Supposedly included by adding a Light Armored Recon Company to a division, what it does instead is add two model choices, both incorrect: national Infantry, and generic Infantry. The first option uses the player nation's unique Infantry model (or models, in the case of Germany) and takes the name of the equipment used, while the latter uses the generic Infantry model and is called "Light Armored Recon Company (Generic)"

The Armored Car models can be found by using Armored Car line battalions, however using them simply for the model is a bad idea since it has greater impact on a division's balance (mainly combat width) whilst requiring much more equipment.

This could be viewed as a suggestion, however since I believe it was designed to function in this particular manner from the start, but currently doesn't, it should qualify as a bug. Even if it is intended, I still believe it would be a good change, since it is only cosmetic in nature and allows divisions to use the models without heavy investment.
