In-game player could cap points or stand inside circle or click on flag. How about make that if player use flag to cap point, he got increased speed of capping, while also squad get some debuff to RA (like they stand in red cover) to add some element of risk-reward mechanic. I think it could bring more action and skill in game. Some players will be build sandbags, some use new variant.
It strange that we have flags that works only as obstacles for vehicles, while don't have any functionality.
It also make camo units more valuable, not only for ambushes, but for fast decapping behind enemy lines. And maybe halftrucks too.

I like the idea, i hardly know if it can be implemented though

This can add some strategic value to the flag itself.

It also will be good add to all infiltration troops boost to flag capping, to reflect their "diversion" role.

Not a bad idea, I think the issue there though is you have vision around your territory point near the flag, which makes it harder for your opponet to take territory while keeping unit composition unknown.

Which TBH is also a good tradeoff.
The concept seems like the best of 2 worlds regarding CoH1 and CoH2. You could also adjust vision provided by points to be the bare minimum to only show those who manually cap it.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

How about you do it like HLL? (Hell Let Loose)

Outside capping (regular speed)
Inner capping (closer to center) unit is visible, but caps x2 speed.

People complain the Soviets are useless.
Well, they are useless if you fight your units 1vs1. But they are all about Synergy.
What do I care if you have a Panther? Once you are crippled from running over a mine
I wait until you repair it with your 3x SturmPioneers and tell my 3x Mortars to fire at it.
did you know Vet 1 Mortars get FLARE?!

- 900 Manpower down the drain. - Panther still can't move worth a damn.

If you capping flag, you must have risk that your squad becomes more vulnerable to damage. Enemy player could use mortar or any indirect to inflict punishing blow to your squad (like, when your enginners while repairing tank got mortar hit, they highly becomes dead).
If only difference between 2 options will be speed of capping and vision on you unit, it's bad design decision, IMHO. High risk-high reward must work.
