MOD NOW AVAILABLE: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=836891753
Notes are here: https://www.coh2.org/topic/58432/%C3%86gion-s-alterations-2-mod
1. Call ins
2. Infiltration units
Balancing Infiltration units ideas
We do not need more squad wiping machines but they need to be able to scale in the late game. Here are my suggestions
Partisans (SMG)
Stormtroopers
Fallschirmjagers
Infiltration commandos
3. Pershing
4. Demolition Charges
5. Free stuff from teching
6. Ostheer Teching
Now lets talk about the smaller changes that I a suggesting. I am not going to bother with adjusting the various extra commands for soviets and ostheer because there are too many commanders with the same abilities just mixed around. Perhaps this would where custom commanders would come in but that is way out of a possibility of this game.
Conscripts
Shock troops
KV-1
All static Howitzers
Ostheer and US: Stormtrooper's, and Paratrooper's Tactical Assault and Riflemen Fire it up
US Assault Engineers
US Airborne
US Recon Support
US Mechanized Company
OWK Starting Unit
OKW Salvage and Cashes
British Royal Engineers
British Infantry Sections
British Field Recovery
British Commando Gliders
British Valentine

what about comets, mortar pit and arty cover?
There is a lot that this game needs in balanced.

Why not spawn them Kar 98's and give them a "2x FG42" upgrade? Since no other unit in the game uses FG's it you could easily modify the weapon stats to put them on par with the BAR's or something.

Exceptions for paratroopers, glider borne commandoes because they have the "call-in" time in animation. Falls should paradrop in like the paratroopers instead of spawning.

All call-in s and Infiltration units should have a "call in" time. For the latter, enemies can fill up the target houses to prevent infiltration and the infiltration units will spawn in base if that happens.

So for the call in time, you are referring to a delay before spawning the building? This could help prevent squad wipes on retreat and AT partisans instantly killing a vehicle. It would also makes since that Falls would be dropped in rather than spawned in.
Interesting thoughts, I like the idea of Fallschirmjagers still having FG42's instead of Mp40's though.

Another possibility, but right now their cost is too high and too easily to be wiped.

They have animation for that, so why not.
If you fail to respond to 10 second low flying aircraft, that is easily shot and then slowly falling squad without combat capabilities for 3 seconds then its your mistake and you should be pusnihed.
Infiltration commados should be changed to glider ones - similar effect to falls.
JLI, partisans should be callable only if your territory, stroms are fine

Not a single line about the underperfroming Panther that fills no needed role with its shit rate of fire? I defeated that thing with Cromwells 1v1.
On the other hand command panther is strong because of longer LoS and good Mark target ability.
If we buff normal panther, we will need to nerf command panther abilities, or he may become OP

Also, the KV1 needs more health, it is a heavy tank..

Yes, however in Long retreat paths one can still make the cheesy wipe. To mitigate that I think making when the delay timer ends(make it countdown like those of active abilities I.e. rapid conscription), if the Target building is occupied then the unit will spawn in base instead. So the one retreating could "occupy=" the buildings in the retreat path to prevent it wiped in longer retreats. Also makes deep flanks with long retreats riskier in that sense.
Only thing that falls need is calling them via airdrop like paratroopers.

Well infiltration commandoes can just be removed and replaced with 5 man ones?

It is 2 minute work for relic to change one ability in commader code to another. We already have glider commados spawning with glider in commandos commader

We can trivially make infiltration commandos be a copy-paste of other commandos, just spawning at 4-men when spawning from buildings.
I mean, the only positive thing infiltration commandos have going for them is the cheesy building spawn & gammon thing. Otherwise, they are strictly inferior to the other varieties (440MP for 4-man commandos and no demo charge).
Yeah, well, they also have the landmatress going. But no Assault, no Heroic Charge (tea & biscuits charge); just the crappy advanced cover thing, which is the worst buff in the game.

The panther maybe in a good spot if it was more easily accessible. I would suggest do one thing at a time to prevent a huge power creep.

The glider borne commandoes may be too much for the already very useful other abilities. Flame + rocket arty + repair. Now with durable demo planting infantry wrecking units....
Advance cover is situationally good but doesn't fit the theme of "mobile assault", raid operation would be nice but then....
My 2 cents.. take away the m2 upgrade for sappers and replaced with raid operations. Make 4 men base spawning commandoes with flamers...

Stealth units with Flamers and good Grenades?
That will totally not end with more Axis tears.

Do you know how much glider borne commados cost ? 540 MP. Glider is almost useless because all it does is reinforce. You cannot retreat to it nor repair it.
And only difference between glider borne and infiltration commados is 1 member and 110 MP cost.
And you trade cheese (infiltrating) for cheese (demo). If demo get fixed (only on buildings), strategic points like OKW booby trap, then demo won´t be such a problem anymore

It's the Vanguard glider that costs 540MP.
Commandos glider costs 500MP.
Inf commandos cost 440MP iirc'
Btw, note that UKF demo has worse radius than the other two demos (USF and Soviet one).
