[2023] New Support Company Guide

It's on my list to do a guide, but at the moment, I'm not sure MAINT is a good choice in a lot of cases.

The tech at tier 2 gives you the option to make tanks cheaper. But the actual support company is a bit of a gimmick for most builds. Nice if you spec for using both its buffs specifically, but not great if you have other things you want to focus on.

The increase in reliability isn't that useful in most of my builds because I'm not running really low reliability equipment.

The capture ratio is only useful if the AI is using stuff I want or need.

And since it costs support equipment, there's a case to be made that the support equipment you lose does not get offset by capturing garbage infantry kits and armored cars and light tanks with bad stats that I can't use.
