Why would any doctrine need them in first place? There are shocks and normal Guards, these guys are just for doctrinal flavor.
The only reasonable thing to change for them is 3xbazooka upgrade as an alternative to thompsons.

I did not respond to your point, I simply corrected your facts. Using correct data/stat helps a debate move allot smoother.
Elite or not paras get 2 bazookas not 3.
The m5 is simply superior even to buffed 250.

To respond to your point, 6 men squad with 3 bazookas/3 SVT and good vet bonuses can easily become problematic especially if they come without a vehicle as suggested by some. The AI/AT potential is simply too high.

The Clown Car is M3A1, not M5, so that's what he was about, no?

I just tested them in cheat mod and I like them. Maybe the should come with m1 garands instead of SVT's but that's just a minor aesthetic change.
As for the halftrack. I understand that they come in a halftrack as part of the doctrine but I think it might be a waste that it's the same one as the one you can already build in tier 3.
How about it's changed to the M3 halftrack that you get as USF. Maybe with a repair ability or something.
Also, change it to 2CP to match other elite infantry.

Remove Thompsons to an upgrade
Replace m5 with brit special weapons halftrack that drops BARs and ZOOKS at a higher than normal munitions cost to compensate for lack of racks unlock and prevent over use.

Conscripts/Penal with Vickers -k is a really bad idea.
PLS no more drop able weapons, I have seen enough SVT conscripts with "for the mother land"

I am not talking about the M3A1 but the M3 used by USF/UKF which is not available to Soviets in other doctrines.

Which is why I suggested an increased price. 70mu say for a single lmg that is designed to be used in pairs AND locking out the 7th man would be a heafy price to pay. They only have 1 slot so if the price is right it won't be an issue. Worst case an inferior version can be made to ensure its not broken. My main concern here is making the bundled call in worth it which it currently isn't, it restrict ass guards without really making the bundle worth calling in anyways.

Bundles HT do not seem to be worth it.

On the other hand Assault Guards with Thompson are actually very powerful and they their should be restriction in their numbers.

Changing the M5 to an USF M3 and lowering CP to 2 might be enough to make them attractive even without drop-able weapons (which is actually a very design imo).

Paratroopers and Rangers are not limited, it’s enough to make the Assault Guard without an HT and leave it on 3PCs, but change the 1st veteran ability now is all a salvage mine and adjust the grenade damage - now it is terrible and random. So what I think should be SVT-40 at start and Thompson? Bazooka ammunition purchase.

USF elite infatry are limited by the CP3 restriction and by the number of infatry the faction gets by that time. One will usually see 1-2 elite USF infatry in game.

Even then, now you have a worse halftrack that cant be turned into AA. it scales worse and you have a fuel cost bundled to your elite infatry. In order for the bundle to work it needs somethin worth getting and if need be replacing. Otherwise you have 1 off infantry with a fuel cost meaning they will be ignored imstead

If we change the Half-Track to anything, then I vote Bren Carrier.

Don't think the Soviet Union even used the M3, we were keeping the good stuff for ourselves.
