Diversifying USF gameplay - Two Commander ideas

yes. US support weapons are just not accessible enough.

Agreed, their options in general just aren't very diverse.

Not sure how the Hellcat would perform when you have M10, Jackson and Easy Eight to compare. I'd personally rather have the M18 be able to camouflage, would make them more useful in hiding as well as alpha strike.

Anyways if I were to make an Hammer/ Anvil theme:

Hammer:

XCP: Infiltrate Pathinders (spawn out of ambient buildings, otherwise same as airborne Pathfinders but cost more)
XCP: Recon Flight
XCP: Fast Capture (when activated your vehicles will capture slowly; vehicle crews and infantry capture faster than normal)
XCP: M3 Halftrack w/ Cav Riflemen (come with SMGs, can upgrade to M1A1 Carbines and throw satchel bombs)
XCP: Calliope Off-map Barrage (150-200 munitions)

Anvil:

XCP: Man the Defenses (passive: infantry gain bonuses when fighting in cover/ garrison)
XCP: M1919 LMG unlock (LMG plus Defensive Stance toggle)
XCP: Victor Target (USF version of Ostheer Coordinated Barrage; M8 and pack howitzer will barrage target at 2x range)
XCP: Combined Arms (when activated infantry sprint when near vehicles; vehicles ROF increased)
XCP: M2 90mm emplacement: basically FlaK 88mm for USF

FYI some of these ideas were ripped from Ardennes Assault, because come on, some of those abilities can really work in this game.

If the game could be more diversify with stocks units, it would be great

I really really don't understand why Relic doesn't add the pershing to the game.
I mean, who doesn't want it? Only Quinn D.? The rest of the universe is craving for this unit..

I honestly think USF is boring to play with (my opinion, don't go nuts on it) cause of it's shortage on different tanks. Sherman, E8, Jackson or Wolverine. That's it, that's all and 2 of them are freakin' doctrinal.
But yeah, that's just my opinion.

you have forgotten the most fun of them all (im serious), the bulldozer.

Yes, because the Luftwaffe was all but extinct during late-war, where do they keep getting all the fuel for these planes lol.

Hermann Goering travelled in a gigantic barge of a halftrack, spamming the Convert Munitions to Fuel button.

lol ^

Seems like "Hammer" and "Anvil" wasn't that far fetched after all...

I would enjoy a Sherman Jumbo.
Bonus points for a Cobra King camo pattern so you can get a proper tank column rolling
