Do not worry about it, I was partially wrong as well.
This does pose a question in which should the Sherman HE shell penetration increased to 35? It would mean penetration vs OKW HQs as well. Their armor is 35. The Panzer 2 armor is 55 so I would have a higher pen chance while the puma's armor is only 25 so it already pens.
Oops, I for got to add the armor from the health, so it is 22 when fully constructed.
The bunker armor is 35 and the he round pen is 25. The fighting position armor is 20 in comparison, hence why this building can eventually be gunned down.
Long answer this:

This is not a Relic preview patch. This is a personal mod.
This will most likely my last mod I will release for Company of Heroes 2. I will continue to update this mod for balance and bug fixing. This mod was develop on and mostly off in this last year, so there maybe some of the recent updates that might conflict. This mod tackles a lot of design issues I have with this game. This mod largely separates Ostheer and OKW in design, as best I could.

All factions start with prefab bases All factions can build MG Bunkers for 200 manpower 20 fuel All factions can research medics in T0 for 200 manpower 25 fuel All slot items DO NOT drop All tanks DO NOT abandon or have main gun destroyed All static weapons can NOT be decrewed When there health reaches 0 they will die Weapon teams can now only no longer capture points while in combat. While in combat is defined as not receiving fire. They can still fire and capture. Three second duration until they can capture once again. Soviet's M3A1 Scout car, Ostheer's 250 halftrack, USF's WC 51, OKW's Kubel, and UKF's Universal Carrier now all can capture, while not in combat. Same as above. All snares adjusted. All medium tanks have their scatter reduced while only have to affect one entities per squad. All tanks coaxil and hull mgs damages have been increased and their cone of fire widen. This should help them become more consistence vs infantry. Mortars and Mortar Halftracks have their scatter significantly reduced while there damage has been cut. This should make them more consistence vs stationary units that are in cover. There job should be more focus in displacement rather than damage. Additionally, this helps improve their intended role. All CQC units will now run up to units when right clicked on a target. This effect is canceled when a slot item becomes equipped. Forward Retreat Points Tanks generally have 160 more health (1 at gun shot) Tank Destroyers generally deal 240 damage from 160 Heavy tanks generally deal 240 damage and have less scatter, but deal less damage to infantry All Snipers replaced with Light Infantry All flamers are now doctrinal Flamers fire in streams instead of bursts Heavy AT guns ranged increased to 100 and no longer pierce through structures Large changes to infantry in balance HMGs range increased to 50 from 45 Large changes to base manpower ticks Manpower cost adjustments across the board Vet 1 abilities generally removed Veterancy adjustments Reserve Infantry Show Spoiler
Rather than reduce accuracy while not in cover, now gains damage resistance while in cover.
There primary role to hold the line and be defensive
Engagements with these units will take a long time

Of all the factions, this faction has the least amount of changes. They still use cashes, and their tech structure is the same. They do gain access to a forward HQ. Penals are guards have been flipped and the M42 is a non-doctinal item in T1. All soviet weapon teams do start with 4 men but there is now a global upgrade to increase their squad size along with conscripts.

In live, the battlephase system is not really properly implemented. It is teching with extra steps. This mod changes that. Now only three structures from five. Additionally there are weapon racks, PzB AT rifles and STG 44s. Supply and locking down sectors are now through Opel Blitz rather than cashes.

USF
Show Spoiler
Even with recent updates, the teching USF is not ideal. So, I made it into simple linear teching. Supply is no longer with cashes. Now it is with upgraded WC51 trucks. Additionally there was a lot of reorganizing tech. The M10 is no longer doctrinal while the Jackson is. The 76mm Sherman is now the late game tank destroyer will the easy 8 is command tank. The 105mm Sherman is now non doctrinal while the M8 Scott is doctrinal which allows it to arrive sooner. Vehicle crews are also removed

Definitely the biggest change here in structure. This combine CoH1 Panzer Elite, Coh2 Soviets, and Coh2 OKW. Sturmpioneers are now the jack of all trades infantry unit and there is no non doctrinal panther or King Tiger. T3 focuses on panzer 4s; Reserve Panzer 4 J, and Ideal Panzer 4 H, and a short barrel panzer 4 C. Jadgpanzer 4 for anti-tank as well.

Big changes here. Infantry Sections are now a hybrid engineer while vehicle crews are meant to repair vehicles. Squad size increases are tied to pyrotechnics and medic upgrades. Hammer and Anvil are in T1 and replaces AEC/Bofors research. Base Howitzers are no longer free but have to be built. Mortar Pit is replaced with 25 Pounder Emplacements.

Forward Observation Post replaced with Sniper Squad Vanguard Forward Logistics Glider Royal Artillery Commando
Short answer:
Infantry section has an issue in the late game of just being A moved around. I have already removed LMG 42s, and the need for non doctrinal Royal Engineers, so now I have replaced the Bren with the Sten and adjusted the infantry section to be less reliant on the Brens. Engagements in my mod are generally slower to allow more maneuvering of support weapons and of other squads.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Garand
According to this page: 38,000 M1 Garands were lend leased to the United Kingdom. Not sure of their extent of their service. It does help fill in a role that UKF does lacking, mid range combat.
I think it maybe related to the maps themselves but I could be wrong. I think maps have markers for building. You maybe to trick the ai if you add a type to the ebps, most likely defence_building.
Nothing uses it. There are a lot of unused weapon profiles in the game. Sturmpioneers are called assault pioneers in most of the files because most likely this was their developer name for them before their actual name created.
Personally, I would like to see it replaced. I am not of a huge fan of its design to just nuke an area. Perhaps replace it with an short barrel Panzer 4 f1?
Another update that no one asks for.
All snares Soviets Light AT mines are changed.s. Infantry Sections Recovery Engineers
The description states "Elite crews fortify the tank for increased durability." This appears to be intended for a health boost. A health boost is quite powerful, because it allows to take another shot. Is it a bug, no. Could it be something else, that is a discussion.
