Something that was embedded into another thread but that I specifically wanted clarified if possible. I want to know if:
a) Towed AA, AT etc will be in game. Because the maps sound a lot shallower.
b) If towed units are in game, I wanted to know if they will have their own transport that we can hide after deploying the guns.
c) If towed units can be towed by other units if their ow. Transport gets destroyed.
d) if towed units can be moved short distances on their own with no transport.
 
AT guns are already confirmed in the first batch of screen shots. They'll likely have separate transports like Wargame as opposed to RUSE.
The best solution is to put guns under certain weight classes, and have transports only able to tow up to a certain weight. Jeeps and other smaller transports can tow 37mm guns/2pdrs. Trucks and halftracks should also be able to tow medium guns(50/57/75/76mm). The British 17 pdr is in the next weight class, being about 3 tons, requiring halftracks or dedicated gun tractors. The German Pak 43 and Flak 18/36/37 are massive guns( 4-5 tons for the Pak 43 depending on variant, while the Flak guns are around 6-8 tons) and will require larger transports such as the unarmored Sdkfz 7.
Towed guns should be able to move slowly once deployed. The smaller 37-2pdr-50-57mm guns should be able to be moved around by infantry. The Pak 40 is probably the heaviest gun that can be man-handled and moved a good distance. The M5 76 and QF 17 pounder should be really, only for being wheeled into position. The Pak 43 and 88mm Flaks should have a similar fate
