Post subject:  How many of these does a division have?
I've looked all over the internet, and I can't find any info on the numbers of equipment that a division possesses. And I need to know these so I can group my forces on NS. So can someone tell me-

1. How many tanks, APCs, artillery guns are in an armored division on average

2. How many tanks, APCs, helicopters, artillery guns are in a cavalry division on average

3. How many tanks, APCs, artillery guns are in an infantry division on average

I've checked the websites from various infantry and armored divisions, and I can't find a list of the equipment that they have.

The numbers depend on the composition of your units.

You can find the numbers for platoons and companies everywhere.

A tank batallion has got 4 companies, but then you cant exactly say how many batallions are in a regiment or how exactly a division is made up, because it differs from one division to the other.

From smallest to largest...

Fire team (3 men, commanded by Corporal)
Squad (9-10, commanded by Sergeant)
Platoon (16-44, commanded by 1st Lieutenant)
Company (62-190, commanded by Captain)
Battalion (300-1,000, commanded by Lt. Colonel)
Regiment (600-4000, commanded by Colonel)
Brigade (3000-5000, commanded by Brigadier General)
Division (10,000-15,000, commanded by Major General)
Corps (20,000-45,000, commanded by Lt. General)
Numbered Army (ie First Army, Second Army...70,000, commanded by General)

I know all that, but you missed my question.

I asked how many tanks, APCs, artillery guns, and helicopters that each division type has on average (Cavalry and Armored for example, I'm not talking about the standard Infantry division)

I know how many infantry they each have, I just don't know the exact number of equipment (how many helicopters for cavalry, and how many tanks for armored)

Modern armies dont have any pure tank divisions anymore, because they are useless without infantry (they are still called armor or infantry divisions, but in reallity they are made up of different unit types).

An M1 batallion would have 4 companies of 14 M1s each (3 platoons x 4 tanks + 2 M1s in each HQ section), so the number of tanks in a batallion would be somewhere between 50 and 60.

You will not find any "single type" unit bigger than a batallion.

Ya Tank is right. Sending an M1 into urban without support is suicide. Sending any tank in is suicide with the RPGs and schtuff. The only time you don't need infantry behind a tank is in an open tank vs. tank battle where highspeeds and such. Then you bring out the infantry in the IFVs and APCs, have them fire AT4s and jump back in and such.

Always walk your infantry near a tank during urban and CQB assaults. I did that in Smolny and stopped a lot of rebel RPGs from taking out my M1s. But the filth bastards dug a deep hole and covered it with draping and an M1 dropped in LOL!!! I gotta get a big heavy tow-truck to get it out and then repair the barrel because it got bent.

That helps some, but what about APCs, artillery, and helicopters (for cavelry) how many of these does a division typically have in it?
