Thoughts on removing USF and UKF Grenade side techs?

Rather than 150/15 for the two side techs and 200/35 for the Lt/Cpt, I'd like to see the unlock for the LT tier to be around 100/40 and include grenades but not the LT. The LT could be purchased for 280 once the tier is unlocked. The Cpt tier could be treated the same way so the "free" item would be the weapon rack. This would give USF much more options without changing tech costs.

The way I see it is this the most unnecessary and frankly unfair side tech to saddle both these factions with. Neither grenade is particularly powerful but it would be nice to have them in a pinch and not have to delay your teching because of it while your opponent basically gets theirs for free. In most games even at high level that I've seen Axis pretty consistently get their armor first and is usually better than what the USF or UKF player can field so why saddle them with this side tech?

That's actually an interesting idea. I'm not sure about the price, but the concept could be worth looking into.

Finding the right price might be tricky, though. Too high, and it's a reduction in options, since rushing nades or LT-tier wouldn't be an option anymore, and too low, and it messes with teching too much (and gives too much for the price). My guess would be 100mp/45f, since it's only slightly off of what grenades + LT tech - LT would actually cost (70mp/50f).
