Ægion's Doctrinal Adjustments

Updated 5/30/17

As you all may know, there are a lot of bad and usable doctrines. This mod intends to balance and make more viable doctrines. If you all have any opinions please post in the comment section below. Additionally, I am making some early game balance changes to help minimized initial power differential

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=919072673

All
-All infiltration units has a 10 until spawn time and drops a yellowish flare at the start.
-All infiltration unit's grenades now start on cooldown.
This will help reduce the squad wipe nature of these squads and allow additional counter-play.

-Starting fuel is now 0

-All AT snares range is now 10 from 15~18
Due to the over preforming nature of this abilities in when fighting initial and early vehicles. There range is reduced allow more reasonable play and maneuvering.

Soviets
-Starting manpower increased from 390 to 430 to meet other factions initial resources.
-Both T1 and T2 cost now 200 manpower and 20 fuel
This will help depley the slightly over performing penals in order to match their timing and effectiveness.
-Molotovs and AT grenades are now bundled together which also includes access to the Engineer's Flamethrower

In order to make doctrines with out elite infantry, a T0 Non Doctrinal Commissar has been added.
High Commissar
-5 Man squad
-Has Ostheer's Officer munitions for inspire aura
-Vet 1: OKW's Sturm Officer force retreat.
-Initial Commissar has a long deploy time

KV-1
-Now non doctrinal T4
-Health increased from 800 to 1200. (maybe too much)
-MGs now equal to the T34's
The KV-1 will enable a damage sponge for AT guns and Tank Destroyers
This does not overlap with the t34\76 since of the price difference, and the 85 has a much better gun.
The KV-1 call in is replaced with Red Banner T34/85s

Red Banner T34/85s
-One time call in like the Tiger Ace
-2 are called in at a time
-700 manpower, 260 fuel (not sure this is right, might be too low)
-in comparison to the standard T34/85
Target size is 20 vs 22
Health is 900 vs 800
180 Armor vs 160
Force to only use the Red Banner Skin

KV-8
Now makes available a flame upgrade to the KV-1
costs 100 munition

Ml-20 Howitzer
Now costs 400 Manpower and 60 fuel from 600 manpower

Partisan Tank Hunter
-Now Partisan Fighters

-.91 Target Size
-Equiped with Mosin Nagants equal to guards
-Can be upgraded with Ppsh's with access to a Smoke Grenade
-Can be upgraded with a Panzershreck with access to a AT grenade (if researched at HQ)
These Newer Partisans can be upgraded to either former partisans. This will help prevent the cheese squad wipe nature. The intial partisans are akin to grenadiers, weak but have camo.

Partisan Smg
now the Booby Trap ability

Shocks
-cost now 360 from 390
-Reinforcement cost is now 30 from 32.5

Salvage kits
-now cost 50 mun from 100 mun
(like you can make a profit for that cost)

M42 Light AT Gun
-the main gun is adjusted so it fight infantry.

Soviet Shock Army Redone

I like that someone takes the initiative in this moment of lack patchs

I like generally like your ideas, especially for USF, so I took a quick look at some of the changes in CheatMod. That's the list of Bugs, Inconsistencies I found:

USF:
IR Marksmen:
-Their ability range is too high
-Then ordered to attack (right click and attack move) something they move close in, so what the guy with the carbine can shoot, completely negating the long range
Greyhound:
-The IR Sweep ability is available at vet 0
-Pack Howie for 100 mun is too cheap, for the power it has
WC51:
-Wrong Icon then upgraded with 50cal (it shows mg42) same thing with Sherman
-A firing arc is shown then clicking on the vehicle, but there is no suppression -> confusing
Sherman:
-105 upgrade has Icon of arty barrage
-sherman keeps it mobility even then upgraded to a bulldozer
- you can invest now 260mun in a single tank -> change some upgrade cost to fuel
-wrong voice line then upgrading (always says "mount that 50")

Soviet:
Shock Army:
-Revolver has no shooting animation and flows behind the back
-Red Banner T34 are way too cheap for what they offer also wrong call in icon

Ostheer:
250 Halftrack:
-Wrong voice line then call on to the field (announcer always says something about mortar halftrack)
-even then not upgraded the mortar is still in it
-then upgraded the mortar has no crew, so it fires on its own
-then upgraded to mortar halftrack wrong icon

So yea that's it for now, your mod needs a lot of refining, but the concept behind it sounds great, so keep it up!
Also, you shouldn't split your mod in two parts. First it's confusing what exactly changed (due to unclear patch notes) and second many changes only work if you have them all at once.
