USF Spearhead Company
1CP - I&R Pathfinders
3CP - Rifle squad marksman (PASSIVE) - per unit upgrade. Equips one members with a scoped springfield rifle. Shifts effectiveness towards longer range. Unlocks 'marksman shot' ability (like the brit one from COH1) Kills one enemy model at a sniperlike range. Basically
replaces a potential USF sniper with a muni-cost sniper ability in the rifle squad. Uses up one of the heavy weapon slots, but cant be dropped.
OR Rangers
4CP - P47 recon run
7CP - Rear Echelon Battlefield Expidence (PASSIVE) - RE per unit upgrade. When upgraded RE's recieve
extra body armour, the ability to
throw sticky bombs to snare vehicles (replacing smoke rifle grenade) and the ability to
apply add-on armour to USF vehicles (like RE's give brit tanks war speed.) See the third pic down:
http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/US/m4a3e2-jumbo-assault-tank. This is could be a tradeoff for USF players on maps which penalise USF by having few flanking routes with chokepoints
10CP - 75mm Sherman Jumbo (PASSIVE) - Unlocks sherman jumbo production at T4. Appropraite armor, slower speed, can toggle rounds like default sherman. This thing needs enough armor to reliably bounce shreks or its useless.
If not jumbo, give this commander Easy 8's instead, they should be in more commanders like the T34/85, Would be nice to give them add-on armour too .. . Although to would take away some of their speed . .
Heavy Cav comPany should get easy 8's instead of rifleman field defences.
Mechanised should get them instead of the reserve armour.
Keep them in the rifle company too.
USSR
Lots of their commanders are good, but I think consript squad assault package should give an extra SMG. OR somekind of late-game non-doc upgrade which shows them becoming seasoned and better equipped - that they've outgrown their orginal conscript status into riflemen. Making them more accurate and more resistant. Maybe change their vet so they gradually reach accuracy/ weapon use modifiers on par with other nations' fully trained squads? I feel like they don't really scale.
UKF - Commonwealth Regiment
Something representing the rest of the commonwealth would be great . . .
- Canadian kangaroo carrier???? memories. . . I know they said no new units, but if the models already exist in a mod or whatever, can they use them?
- Gurkha riflmen - Tommies that work outside of cover, the a fire-up ability and an ability with makes them good in CQB for a short time? knife thowing? drawing their side-arms?
- Recon flight
- Matilda tank (Austrailian accent?) They used them.
- Polish artillery strike, Offmap arty support from a polish arty unit. Due to their increased prejudice against the enemy, this barrage slowly winds down over time as gunners slip off a few extra shots for good measure. Can decive the opposition into thinking that barrage has already completed.
