this so often gets neglected or forgotten in discussions about the whole bolster conundrum, yet the price tag it is one of the most straightforward ways to adjust the timing/power level of the upgrade. of course it does result in a sudden power spike, but so does the first tank hitting the field. and as long as the cost is adequate both will mutually delay each other and force a tech decision to be made.
of course it can be argued that 5-men sections trade a bit too cost efficient at the moment, especially when hitting a critical mass, but this could also be offset by proper pricing, e.g. by implementing a higher reinforce cost after the upgrade to make 5-men sections slightly less economical.

But why go to all that trouble?
Why not use the same system already implemented?

Simply make bolster increasing the entity available without actually providing the entity similar to PG/5 men/6 AssG/ 7 men conscript.

That would make Pre and post bolster units have the same cost efficiency.

iirc in coh/of tommies came preupgraded with the scout upgrade and it was fine. i know its a different game entirely but having a preloaded squad inst necessarily a bad thing. the ukf design is so absolutely fucked and will never be balanced because of bolster anyways that i dont see why we cant experiment.

By scrapping its whole idea, since it just can lead to potentual cheesing. And giving capture bonuses back ones either T1 is unlocked or upon upgdaring IS with medics\pyro.

I undertand that main idea behind raid package was to give IS capping speed back, but adding on top of that removal of out-of-cover penalties and sprint just to justify having this upgrade in the game competly unnessery.

Regarding the v2 Scott change:

Why so much focus on the barrage?
USF already has a mortar and the PaK Howie, another mortar-like unit is gratuitous. If it is supposed to be the replacement for rocket artillery, a swap of Calliope and Scott would fit better.
And USF also has a doctrinal mortar carrier already.

Overall a mini-Brummbar like function would fit way, way better in terms of unit diversity.

The raid package feels awkward to be honest. Logically I'd expect it to provide the best recon upgrade for tommies, but pyrotechnic tommies have considerably better vision range. I'm not sure increased capping speed and the ability to passively jog is worth it.

That is intentional, as a QoL effort to have all or at least most snares on the same UI button. Especially for the Panzerfaust for OKW and OST, as they are switched for no apparent reason. It's not in the notes yet.
