The Jagdtiger is considered a big enough problem that Relic was going to make you shoot it manually every 8 seconds. And yet, if I suggest that you can have the Jagdtiger, as is, with the one exception that you must have one or two less units late game, then I must be joking.

Heavy tanks would be outnumbered. And that would only be in the very late game. Before that, the prices will still be the same, so it will still be 2 t34s for every Tiger. If you don't want to be outnumbered, you could always build medium tanks. I think it would be great if players actually had to make a choice late game, between heavy and medium tanks, instead of just always getting the biggest vehicle possible.

Well, the same applies to all LMG infantry. Paras and LMG rifles for instance are very much the same in terms of use. Oh, and btw, Shocks actually more or less do wade through most smallarms fire. They may lose a model or two but they will still win the fight and force the retreat. I would certainly not say they are OP, but correctly used, there is no Axis infantry squad that are going to win a 1 on 1 engagement, with the possible exception of vet 4 Obers...(suppression).

I think his point is that different factions have different strengths.

You missed out Mechanized for the USF, which has recon and the best offmap arty strike. Major recon, as bad as it is, is still the only nondoctrinal air recon. Recon doctrine has extended vision rifles, pathfinders have superb vision range, rifle flares are great too considering rifles are generally aplenty when playing USF. Not all recon has to be done by air.
