If the question is directed to me, I did not mention commanders that are OP or UP but commander abilities that should be brought in line.

That does not mean that they should become the same since faction design is part of the power of commander abilities. Commander abilities should balanced keeping in mind the faction design, if faction X is designed to have powerful infantry the call in infantry should reflect that.

(usually OP and UP commanders can be identified by the meta although some time people stick to the meta so much so that they fail to discover new things that are OP. For instance DshK was broken for a very long time before it become meta)

A SU76 should be able to damage an Elefant yes, as much as a Puma, a stug or a jpz4 should be able to damage Allied late game tanks. And wonderfully they all do.
Now maybe the SU76 vet too fast, maybe it can be twicked but nerfing it to the way it becomes useless after a certain point of the game is going against design where we want all units to be relevant all the game long. You build your SU76/PUMA/Jpz4/STUG, you fight with it, you keep it alive, you vet it, your reward is to be able to use it vs bigger cats.

The problem you are exposing is clearly that it can be spammed. It is far easier to spam and vet three SU76 than one alone and since on teamgame, the number of potential targets is higher, they vet way faster than usual. Does it means that it is the case on 1vs1, definitively not so you can't simply nerf its stat and vet.
How to make sure the unit stay relevant on 1vs1 and cannot be spammed on teamgame, they are probably different options, the one I propose is simple: increase its popcap, it doesn't affect much the player on 1vs1 and it reduce SOV players army size and reinforcement power if he decides to spam them on teamgame.
