2-YA guards division should have T-64BVK as a leader unit instead of T-64AK

Every other division that fields tanks has a leader unit that matches and accompanies regular tanks available. If you have T-55AM you will also have T-55AM2K3 leader variant with 2275 max range gun and not just the AK variant with 1925m which you have for T-55A. If you have M1A1 you will also have M1A1 CP, M60A3 CP with M60A3 ...

In 2nd guards you have a mix of tanks from 210-345 points and they are paired with leader tanks that can only be found in reservist divisions with obsolete tanks in 130-150 point range in which they fit perfectly fine while in 2nd guards they are totally useless.

2nd guards is marketed as an elite division which means you don't have access to cheap tanks that could help with initial phases of the game. Somehow your cheapest option is a 150 point tank with minimum range, no smoke launchers and availability of 2 per card which you cannot afford to lose early because of the leader trait.

Later in game you either need to micromanage your useless leader tank to stay in second line doing nothing or watch it go past every tank that should provide cover for it, get focused and instantly obliterated. It is 150/200 wasted points that do not fire a shot entire game, while M1A1 CP and even T55s fit perfectly with the MBTs in their divisions. They also look like some broken down tanks from some other division 2nd guards found on the side of the road and decided to bring along to the frontline for some odd reason.

2nd guards operated T-80 tanks in the 1st guards tank regiment in the timeframe and in game it also has 2 cards of T64B tanks so the command tank should either be T64B or T-80B and not the T-72K/T-64AK.
