People are starting to sound like a broken record repeating the same issue over and over again.

before you give Ostheer the ability to convert (concrete) buildings, you kinda have to add something like an anti-building demo charge Show Spoiler

to Rear Echelons, otherwise USF literally cant get rid of these. A player with half a brain wont let you destroy it with flamer pioneers.

I know OKW has similar issues but they have goliath, stukas and flame hetzer at least

And I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. Most of the posts are constructive, and it really helps when there is a clear majority that expresses there is an issue with an ability (as long as it does reach JLI levels of dead horse beating). When feedback from multiple people is consistent with each other, it's a useful indicator that the change isn't panning out (or that the intent of the change wasn't properly communicated...or something similar).

I think having the heavy callins require tech is a no brainer. If we could do this for every heavy callin, I imagine it would be the first thing we rush to do (again, just my impression of the groups sentiment). However, it was clearly stated that is not within the scope of this patch. Given this information, I still believe it best to not add another techless heavy call in into the game (I do suppose the kv2 was a mistake in that regard, but given how much of a meme it was, I dont know how tying it to tech would have been received...). I dont think that not being able to fix other issues should mean that we dont fix the issues that we ARE able to fix (or keep from ever being a problem to begin with).

A few notes:
I personally think the tiger only needs to be put into the panzer command hq (flak). The current implementation arrived at requiring all tech structures, but I do hope we end up peeling back some of those requirements, as I said earlier.

• Make Wehrmacht's 250 with Flamer upgrade build able in Battlegroup HQ
  
• Give "Grand Offensive" an additional infantry unit in Battlegroup HQ
  
• Pak 40 available in Battlegroup HQ

I still don’t understand why the British haven’t been given the standard Sherman yet. They are in desperate need of a better medium tank rather than a tank destroyer. After several testing periods the M10 is really just too fragile and although it can reliably penetrate the Panzer IV it can’t do so on the Panther which would have players buying the AEC or an antitank gun instead saving their fuel for a tank that can actually produce some offensive results. It’s really just somewhat irrelevant in the British roster and I’d really rather get a tank that can dish out a bit of both as opposed to the M10 which is incredibly circumstantial and dies to 3 anti-tank rounds

You do realize that the shell switching is probably not gonna carry over to the UKF, right?

• The rockets are too unreliable, too easy to dodge, thus do to little reliable effect for the cost. The only reliable way to use em is to sac a T-34.
  
  Wasnt there an unused ability that called in 2 cheap weaker T-34s? Maybe throw that in there so we have some ramming fodder to pair with it, rather than killing off their best non-TDs, which are in rough enough shape to begin with.
  
  
• The M5... Im just not seeing a use for them to be honest. For an AEC alternate, the Stuart would be much more fitting. I've never actually had one be any more effective than their T1 cart with a vickers/wasp, which you can get cheaper and earlier without tech. Maybe I'm just using them wrong.
  
  The M10 is ok, but I just have a hard time choosing it over a cromwell or just waiting a little more for a firefly. I dont think British really need more T3 tank options, as they have pelenty out-of-the-box. I'd rather borrow an ability like assault, smoke raid, or the 4cp HQ-25pnder strike... or really any mid-early ability to force a choice of munition spending between it and the smg packages.
  
  
  Have not tried the others yet.

Tiger behind all trucks...while all other faction can get their heavy callins free-tech. Makes sense....

remove m5 and replace with off map arty might be better. the usf priest commander 's time on target arty look perfect. can rename it if needed.
not sure why ukf need m10 while there is cromwell/ff already. m8 maybe a better choice it can encourage people to pick between m8 and aec at role / ai role.

I agree. The M5 is too weak to be useful and the M10 feels redundent in a faction that has plenty of decent tanks.

Swapping them for art and M8 would improve the commander a lot.
