I have always calculated that an AFV that has a MA with mg or ife, when doing an overrun gets that FP 3/2x with an additional +2 for being an AFV without a MA to add +4. But the rules aren't super clear that that is true.
Usually it doesn't matter, but, for example, a British Mark VIB with a 10 cmg MA is either a 12 (10*3/2=15) or a 16 (+2 for the AFV). And of course there are others.
Is that +2 added in this case?

For the British Mark VIB the calculation would be:

Base 2FP (for being an 'other' AFV, the MA of which is either MG/FT/IFE/ATR/MTR) plus
3/2 * Usable MG (not RMG) 10FP

So 2FP + 15FP = 17FP

You can refer to MMP's 'Overrun Flowchart' that can be found as a cardboard chapter divider (with the IIFT on the other side).
