Generally speaking, Ogre Minis is intended to have exactly the same combat engine as the Ogre boardgame. There should be no meaningful changes in the statistics of units between the miniatures game and the boardgame.

Defense of a SHVY is definitely still 5.

The Cobb formula doesn't [and can't] account for the utility of being able to carry infantry. It's mathematical underpinings are solely based on attack, defense, and movement capabilities. GEV-PCs are not indicated to cost anything other than 6 vp, per the Battle Box rulebook.

Yes. Heavy Tanks are still D3.

The intent on page 27 is that any unit touching the crater's footprint /at the time the crater is created/ is destroyed. Thereafter, the crater is treated as rubble.

I don't think there /is/ an official errata document for Ogre Mins 2e yet. It's a relatively recent book with a relatively small printing, owned primarily by people who know the material backwards and forwards. That and the line editor's day job as a medical professional has him, understandably and laudably, rather distracted these days, unfortunately.
