The vet 1 ability is bullshit. Why no sherman smoke?

"Close defence was not forgotten, and a 100 mm (3.94 in) mine launcher was located at the rear of the loader’s hatch"

Grayhound spam is only 1vs1 problem, in 4vs4 only noobs do that and then they ragequit anyway why grayhound need to be call in ? In my opinion grayhound should be in t0 after u unlock full oficer. Because its really hard to balance cp timing espiecialy bettwen 1vs1 mode and 4vs4. In 4vs4 cp4 is sometimes when u can have sherman already.

The vet 1 Launcher ability is historically accurate (though it should say mine launcher rather than grenades), and it's a good way to deal extra damage to infantry. Smoke launchers would be bad since part of the vehicle's tremendous firepower is balanced by the fact that it has to expose itself to enemy fire.

This was always a problem for me. Those CP requirements for mid-game units just make those units miss their timeframe in 4v4s.

The only way of resolving this would be to manually adjust XP values so the CP gain for all modes becomes relatively equal. But that would take a very big amount of work.

Why not just change the "cost" of each CP based on number of players? That would be an easy fix.
I'm not actually sure if that can be used as a requirement in the modding tools, but I'll look into it.

I also like the idea of caches increasing in cost with more players.

There is any easy fix for this:
Call-in units become available in 2 ways, as call-in with a premium or as build-able unit requiring tech cost.

So that should at least stun enemy infantry and therefore block them form using the snare. Currently i don;t see any point of using it. Sturmtiger bases on long range shots far from line of sight and this ability is short range, small grenade that do shitty damage that has 0 impact on a battle.
I would trade for something else - for example flare (like soviet sniper) but i guess again for some that would be opieOP.

The vet 1 ability of the ST could fire bouncing mines around the vehicles it would work both for balance and for historic reasons.

...
I doubt that would be possible due to lack of animations. The Sturmtiger's mine launcher was a single turreted mounted launcher as opposed those other vehicles' multiple one-off all around mine discharger units I imagine you are talking about anyways.
