I'm not sure that my question was clear.
Let's say I buy a paratroop company (elite infantry): B, C, D,E.
I delete C, D et E.
Then I buy a tank platoon: C.
C0 needs to be rallied. Rally is up-down. So if A0 is away, it is up to B0 to do the job.
But B0 is infantry. It will probably fail to rally C0.
Isn't it the big drawback to mix infantry and armor in the same company ?

No, rally and unit type are separate, there are no penalties for an infantry unit rallying a armor type or vice versa. Otherwise the commander of a mech formation would have a hard time rallying half the units under his command wouldn't he? Or the inf commander with the mortars under his command?

Units do have skills related to their class and a leader can pass his score on to his subordinates on a succesful check. But the advantages of the small mixed company far outweigh that disadvantage.
