stug_short_barrel aka Stug III E is still enabled.

ps. I've tried to make a "Mechanized infantry warfare mode"(Infantry, light vehicles and rocket artillery) using this mode as a template, but I have very little experience whit scar, so I don't know if I've done it right ^^

Clever use of the config I created to skip problematic ones! I guess you can find out by testing. For example you could use my CheatCommands Mod ULE for testing.

EDIT: Is stug_short_barrel called via commander ability? If so, which one?

	local _vehicleAbilities =  {
		"mechanized_grenadier_group", "supply_truck", "tiger_tank", "mortar_halftrack", "elefant_unlock", "tiger_tank_ace", "stug_short_barrel", "stug_iii_e", "armor_commander",
			"mechanized_assault_group", "cmd_kv-8_unlock_mp", "cmd_advanced_t34_85_medium_tank", "cmd_t34_85_medium_tank", "cmd_isu-152", "cmd_is2_heavy_tank", "cmd_kv-1_unlock", "kv-2", 
		}

just though of it, some of the commanders get left whit very little if you remove all doctrinal vehicles, like Mechanized Assault Doctrine only get assgrens and light artillery barrage, so would it not be possible to swap the "powers" for a more suitable power?

I think people would choose to use infantry related commanders anyway.
