USF Mechanized Company: Assault Group

This is a simple suggestion of an alternative to the "M3 Half-track Assault Group." This ability costs 2 cp, 520 mp, and 35 fuel and it is pretty lack luster. The M3 half track is not durable enough to support front line action especially with the assault engineers being need to be at close range to be effective. In comparison, the M5 half track beats it in combat durability while the M3 has very slight bonus in mobility.


Health M3: 200... M5: 320... UKF M3: 320
Damage Far/Near m3: 4.12 / 16.36... M5: 7.58 / 17.58... UKF M3: 4.12 / 16.36
Cost M3: 270 mp 35 Fuel... M5: 270 mp: 30 Fuel... UKF M3: 270 mp, 30 Fuel

By my understanding of this doctrine it that once a vehicle becomes obsolete, you will use withdraw and refit to re-obtain resources. So, you should have a large number of vehicles on had. These are diffenet proposals on how to change this.

Option 1: Remove the Assault Engineers and just cost 200 mp, 30 fuel, and increase the health to 320 to become on par with the 251 half track.

Option 2: Switch this to the greyhound. Yes, I know the greyhound needs a buff to combat the 222 but, it still would be more fitting with the doctrine. This could replace other early game vehicles such as the Stuart. And, when time comes for when it is obsolete, withdraw and refit it.

Option 3: M5 Half track

Option 4: M4C Sherman, Easy Eight, or even a Sherman firefly for more unique late game options.

Option 5: "Mechanized Assault" 3 cp 550 mp (remove fuel from with draw and refit), m3 half track with a cavalry rifleman. Equipped with 4 M1 garand and 1 bar, option for 2 more weapons.
Abilities: the cooked grenade and anti-tank rifle grenade.
Vet 1: able to use abilities while in a back of a vehicle.

Edit: I forgot about the UKF M3 half track, which really puts the USF M3 to shame.
