Some changes you might want to consider:
Reinforce time and its linear connection with reinforcement cost.

Relic has uses reinforce time that is linearly connected to the reinforcement cost meaning the cheaper the unit the faster it reinforces.

That creates a number of problems especially when someone reinforces on the field. For instance a Osttruppen fighting a conscript both near reinforcement points will eventually win because he will be able to reinforce faster and have more entities fire.

A HMG near reinforcement point can replace losses too fast.

Expensive units like ober have to stay of the field for long time until the can get even a single squad member back...

My suggestion:
reinforcement time should only related to infantry type: (from faster to slower)

Utility (engineer type units)
Mainline
Elite
Support weapons (accept ATGs)

I have placed support weapons last because managing to push support weapon off the field should be rewarded.

Remove Fallshimjager and Jagers spawn in the building, but made them cheaper
Demos should work like on Paras (and costs pretty same)

I don't think it's really an issue unless it's Soviets with their cheaper 6 man crews...

Added M1 81mm Mortar to USF Starting Building (test)
Added the 81mm mortar to the USF roster. This mortar has shorter range, lessened one hit kill radius and less AOE damage compared to other mortars, but it fires the fastest of any mortar and has less scatter. Furthermore it has a faster set-up and teardown compared to other mortars allowing for quick repositioning. Stats are designed more for a 60mm mortar, but no model was available.

Idea was to give USF more means to counter garrisons without grenades and a mobile smoke platform as well as diversify their opening.

For some reason these are the some of the few direct-fire units that have a minimum range making them vulnerable to units that charge directly into them to avoid damage.

Elite Vehicles Crews
Ability given to RE due to increase its utility. It was not given to Rifle due to their grenades, smoke, and the potential they have at Veterancy 3 with their low received accuracy modifiers. Did not go with the chance for the crew to survive due to either RNG nature or being too powerful late game where a potentially high vet crew could be impossible to kill and make any vehicle they man Vet 3.
-Rear Echelon can now be equipped with Thompson SMGs.

SU-152, KV-2 indirect and 88 have also minimum range, in KV-2 the minimum range is quite big actually...


Such a powerful weapon on Rear can actually prove problematic. Especially when they are in garrison or even a fighting position, CP should at least be 2 or 3....They now cost as much as pio and have an SMG 3 times better making the flamer upgrade looking pretty bad in comparison...

Maybe allow crews to survive half health vehicle destruction but reducing their to vet 1 if higher, then allow crew to merge to get rid of superfluous crews?

This will allow crews to be killed if the vehicle is deep in enemy territory, will not break the rule of gaining veterancy without fight and will justify the name of ability...

If use get a mortar then it probable that smoke and frag grenades might need to become less effective...Maybe reduces smoke radius? or become unusable once suppressed
