It doesn't matter if you are Wher or PE, if you have Vet 2 you get a free MG :D. Unless specified by a muni cost like the Geschtuzwagen or the Panzer IV Infantry support tank. Other wise all battle tanks get an MG.

Except the Ostwind (Duh) and the Tiger which is already good at AI. Hotchkiss doesn't get it I guess b/c it already has Walking Stuka and is suppose to be a (sorta) shitty jack of all trades :P. Hetzer has a MG. And Jagdpanther is not supose to be good at AI, hence no MG. And obviously not the Bergretiger XD

And don't be sorry :D. It's good to learn new things everyday ^-^

Wehr vet is purchased from the Kampkraft Center. It is global and affects all units of a category, new and old. The four categories are:
Infantry
Support
Vehicle
Tank
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Keep in mind bangalor that each lvl of Wher vet does something weird and unique. Its not like Ami vet which basically helps you kill things faster due to higher dmg :P

For example Vet 1 tanks give it 10% - 20% less recieved dmg. Not sure what exact number is. Its an overall great upgrade. But lvl 2 tanks give it an mg. So buying lvl 2 does not help against tank vs tank fights. However lvl 3 gives tanks more penetration resistence except Ostwind. So if you want your Ostwind to stay alive longer only lvl 1 helps. However the Ostwind is more accurate. So vet 3 helps Ostwinds offensively

You don't need to remember the exact numbers but just try to remember the basic things that Wher vet do and your golden 8) ;D

P.S. - I kept switching the words lvl and vet. I meant the same thing XD

Yeah SU and Wher are similar in that they have a seperate building to get upgrades which help in the long run. They may seem expensive but they are pretty good. Always try to spring for Vet 1 for both types of infantry b/c they grant health regeneration. But they don't help in combat. Just remember that. vet 2 helps keeps troops alive longer.

Vet 1 gives -15% received damage. Vet2 for many tanks actually gives 15% more health again for many of the vehicles/tanks as well as the MG.
