Iam going to list two sections. The first are Minor changes. Some things that the Americans need badly. The second are things I think they need that they actually may not.

lieutenant
M2HB .50 cal mg
M1 57mm At gun
M20 scout car.

Captain
Stuart tank
M15 flack Track
75mm pack howitzer

Rear echelons:
Hull Down vet 2
Frag grenade up-grade

Sherman m4A3:
Upgrades:
-76mm gun. Ap rounds ability sames as 57 mm. Loses effectiveness of he round.
-Jumbo upgrade. 75 fuel.

Vetting:
vet1.
-Armor plates. On each side and in front of driver and gunner hatches. General armor increase.
vet2.
-Sandbags, wood logs. armor increase against HEAT rounds. Hand held at weapons.
-White Phosphorous shell. Good for building. Has a two percent chance to burn out tank crews when hit.
vet 3.
-Top mount .30 cal over gunner hatch, directional. This is in addition to the .50 you can up grade.
-Hedgerow cutters. Acts as though it is a heavy tank when encountering heavy foliage and tank traps.


Here is the second section of less viable options.

lieutenant:
Add m5A5 half tack. Americans where kings of the half tracks. They should be so in game.
Up grades:
-Smoke Dis-charger. 60 muni.
-.50 cal ring. 360 degrees of fire.40 muni.

It should be able to carry the heavy weapons teams .50 cal/pack howitzer. The 50 fires out the back like a reverse kubel. Letting it fire on the move, but not suppressing until stationary. The Pack fires like a mortar, Any time it likes. The cost of putting the pack in that thing, making it a at target is the trade off. You can lose the two to a few at rounds.

Captain:
Add M18 Hell cat. Fast like the puma. Better gun but less armor.
- I read somewhere that at one point the hell cat got up-armored to about what the M10 sits at. This should be a debatable late game upgrade.

Major:
Ability's.
Vet 2
-Transference to manpower. Cost 50 muni for 200 manpower. Debatable numbers.
Vet 3
-Transference to manpower. Cost 50 Fuel for 200 man power. Debatable numbers.

Add Sargent. 5 man squad. 1 Thompson. 4 m1's. cost 400 manpower.
Ability's.
-Flare
-Frag
-Four weapon slots
Upgrades:
-Springfield sniper rifle.
Ability's gained:
-snipe ability. only the sniper fires. The ranges on this should not be extreme.
-Hold fire. Loses the ability to move but gains camo.
-spotting ability. Loses the ability to move and fire for increased sight.
-Springfield takes up all weapon slots.

M20
Ability's:
-Flare
-Med bags
-Rocket up. stops using the .50 uses the rocket in it place.
-Detection. Iam sorry but if you force USF to build a vehicle to lay mines That unit better be able to detect them. I don't care if its a upgrade or an ability.

Secret Part Three. Iam not so sure about this but...

When all officers are purchased and alive The unit cap cost for vehicles should go down 25% I understand this may be a bit much, but it will help the late game for USF. And Thats why you are on this thread in the first place.

American artillery: Shorten the time between Activation and execution.

Sounds Pretty fucking good to me.

I think the Kv-1 should have it's own t5 building. So it costs a large amount not only to buy, but also just to get to. But is in there army in a un doctrinal fashion . Could be sweet. And why the hell don't they have a not doc heavy tank. It would be a good fit I think.

It was one of the first of its kind. You can over charge for it, 225 fuel or something, plus the building. And its just mildly awesome.

I play mainly USF. I think they are fine and not nearly as weak as they are made out to be. Sure they could use some improvements and more 'exciting' commander choices, but they have some good options right now and in my experience it's the player who is lacking not the faction.

In regards to the commanders you came up with.....some of those would be complete OP.

You should check this out.

I know I have a lot of things I need to improve on. None the less. USF needs more than they have. Plain and simple. It is true, some of these options are op. So are are a lot options other factions have. USF has the least amount of viable options. In every department.

It feels like relic had a budget, and they spent it all on okw. To be honest, what they have done with okw is specular. Having one of the best CQC units in the game as youre starting builder is a tough thing to do. They pulled it off. There teching is cool too.

DEFENSIVE COMMANDER

2 cp Advanced Defences

Rear Echelons can construct reinforced barbed wire and fighting positions, and also lay 5 point mines.

2 cp Riflemen Field Defences

3 cp M1919

5 cp 76 mm AT gun can be called in.

5 cp armor can be put in "hull down" position

Hot Danm this is cool!

Commander suggestion :

Breakthrough Exploitation Company :

Assault Engieneers

Riflemen Flares

Time on Target Artillery Barage

Calliope 9 CPs upgreadable on an already existing sherman for 200 munitions and fixing permanently the shot type the one the tank had before the upgrade being finshed

Easy 8

And this, but fucka grease gun. Those dudes need Thompsons if not 5 men.

I guess i think the USF needs more help than they really do. They just have some of the worst generals in my opinion. And standing alone, with no doctrines they dont have the best army. Man for man, tank for tank; the Americans need help. or maby i need help. I just cant play any other faction for some reason. Thanks for the feed back guy and gals.
