Agreed, but locked behind a doctrine that is rarely seen. Move it to t0 and you will see nothing else but WC51 spam in the first 2-3 minutes of the game.
Do we see nothing but Kübel spam againstn OKW?

I rarely see double kubelwagen, most of the time I see one kubel or none at all.
Kubelspam is something I almost never see, perhaps one in a thousand games.
The point is, which you tried to dodge, that USF has a very strong early game, which with a t0 wc51 will totally destroy any axis early game.
Be realistic

Permanently BannedPlease tell me how 1 less rifle will somehow make USF early game even stronger in exchange for a paper jeep that dies to 1 faust?

ThEn you have three rifles with REs and a WC51. This will totally hamper USF early game

Lets try and not buff USF further until we fix the rest of the game.

Diversifying gameplay does not equal a buff.
Overall balance has much more to do with current meta units, not diversity. If a faction has half underpowered units, and half overpowered units then they will still have a high overall winrate, because players will simply use the stronger units more often.

Diversifying gameplay has very far reaching consequences and I would much, much rather Relic spend their time getting their shit together and fixing the ever greater piling up issues than focus on reinventing USF every other week.
USF is more powerful than it's ever been, it has the most versatile basic infantry in the game with effective health that blows almost all other units in the game out of the water. It's got 2 viable starting tech choices, and really only has 1 lackluster commander these days.
At some point you need to pay attention to other factions, USF has gotten the fixes it needs to do well in every game mode, now lets try and see about pulling the Axis factions out of the toilet in 1's and 2's.

Checking the charts it seems like ostheer is the only one suffering that bad. OKW is only a little worse then the allied factions, they are actually doing fine 2v2 and up.
Either way it doesn't matter. Someone is always going to be top dog and some faction is going to be at the bottom. That changes every week. It doesn't mean that that is going to be the only issue we deal with every patch.
No matter how much their buff USF it wont change the fact that they are a boring, unappealing faction to play. And that's something that needs to be dealt with regardless of current balance.

Which means no heal for USF... and a major delay in light vehicles (besides the lack of grenades). Keep in mind that OKW has a similiar built by spamming volks and they are not totally owning everything with their Kübels, which are dirtcheap compared to the WC51.

I think you need to play USF Mechanized more. If the WC31 was that good, you'd see more players use Mechanized, especially since many people consider any game that goes longer than 10 minutes with USF means USF lost. If the WC31 provided that much of an early game boost, it'd probably be instalocked at the start of all 1v1s or 2v2s. Instead its a shit unit in a shit doctrine; it's only real use is to kill early Kubels on your chokepoint or to provide veterancy for a later armor unit such as a Stuart or Scott. In truth, it is a slow, lightly armed and armored unit, that is far too expensive for what it does. It's cost somewhat works in Mechanized purely for the fact that if (big if) you manage you keep it alive, you can swap the crew and then withdraw it for your money back.

i like the idea of PE thingy.
make usf tiering linear and unlocking better units within them an upgrade like TBF but choice is between faster next tech v. light vehicles.
lieutenant tier as ~25 fu to unlock 50cal and light mortar, 30 more fu for light vehicles, and captain for ~30fu for packhowi and at gun and the major, the unit for 30 fu and ~70 fu for the vehicles.
and make major arty not shitty. at least match the tommy arty - inaccurate shit but goes on for a long time.

What?
OKW are owning everything? I presume that you play 3v3 or 4v4?
OKW has a hard time vs USF early game and vs the brits in general in 1v1, only having the leig to win with.
Perhaps you should play OKW yourself in ones, they aren't the gg machine you think they are
Keep in mind that OKW has a similiar built by spamming volks and they are not totally owning everything with their Kübels,...
