These are generally good, but the removal of crush from tanks is going to make for pathing nightmares. Crush is an important mechanic reducing it to heavy only means very few if any use of it. Is the issue that Cromwells crush too well?

Pretty solid... though I'm kind of curious as to why they upped the damage on Bundle Grenades in addition to the AOE buffs. Its overpriced in its current form for sure but it may be a little bit too wipey - will have to test for sure.
Looking forward to see what the new commander abilities on Luftwaffles and Fortifications will be... I think For the Fatherland! makes sense for Fortifications. Recoup Losses would be really helpful for Luftwaffles to offset dat Fallshim. MP bleed. (even though it already has a lot of Munitions-based abilities)

If bundled nades still cost 45 mun, which is same as guard nade, but have are incomaprably better, I foresee a cost increase on these.
I'm surprised they are removing crush from med tanks though.
AT blobs FTW?

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Is the issue that Cromwells crush too well?But it doesn't effect pathing at all, only infantry crush was removed. Vehicles don't stop for infantry regardless, so at most the worse is that you'll see infantry models clip through tanks.
Also I guess this means the only tank that's really able to crush infantry now is the 105 sherman. Pretty much everything else with heavy crush is too slow to actually pull it off.

Just like retreating infantry cannot be crushed and yet it doesn't interfere with vehicle pathing.

Looks good (especially bundle change). But we're still missing a change the the most worthless unit in the entire game: OKW Flak.
Both the OKW Flak and Ost Pak 43 should really have their crews made invulnerable like the brit versions.

Those all look like solid changes 
PGren Schreck blobs are finally going to be able to pull their weight over SPio Schreck blobs!
You would be surprised... but Panthers also have heavy crush.
I really hope they also remove it from Panthers, otherwise it is going to be completely unfair. (Especially with OKW Combat Blitz).
Other tanks with Heavy Crush:
Tigers (all variants), Churchills, Bulldozer Sherman, Brumbars (since last update), and I have no idea which Soviet tanks.

I strongly disagree with the removal of infantry crush on medium tanks.
I think it's important for units to be able to step out of their main role in certain situations and challenge the conventional rules of gameplay. To me, it's one of the pillars of what makes COH great.
It's a mechanic that rewards skill and planning on both sides (because tanks can be baited into a crush to overextend). Without it, units become a little more boxed in to their roles and the game gets a little more shallow.
If the mechanic creates efficiency issues with specific units (M10 and Cromwell for example), then I'm sure those units can be dealt with individually and avoid sweeping changes.
