Supply drop
I'd say leave it at 450 for now and test it more and have a look if it maybe needs to be a bit more expensive, which could very well be the case. The overall idea and the ability itself is great though, love it

IDK, I think 450 is pretty fair considering you have to spend manpower to recrew them (which can be fairly expensive for the other supply drop zone commanders that don't have Ostruppen). Throw in the fact that it's a MG34 (everyone's favorite HMG) and I think it's a pretty square deal. I guess they could always switch the PAK to a Raketen if it's too good for the cost

I've noticed several abilities that were previously keyed to H are now on Q. Why? It's a little obnoxious and unnecessary.

Yeah, I noticed that with Conscipts tried to Oorah and suddenly I'm holding fire lol. Really annoying because you are going to Oorah way more often then Hold Fire with Dank Hunters. Also, the AT grenade assault feels like a bit much... definitely worth looking into

The vehicle can be as cheap as an AEC who's DPS in late game is not important while it can still snare.

The vehicle suffers only DPS penalties (-50% accuracy +100 reload ) that have little impact in unit like AVRE or AEC(wanted for snare in late game) or even FF (high accuracy alpha strike with tulips) or Churchill (that can serve as meat shield)

That's why timing isn't an issue with Command Vehicle - if you want an early-mid game Command Vehicle then you *have* to either tech AEC or sacrifice your very first tank which comes a lot later than 2 CP. Command AEC is considerably more squishy than other command tanks and prevents you from diving after other light vehicles which is why you get it in the first place and is more likely to die early or survive in the late game.

Nobody would ever use a Command Firefly (lol 16 second reload) or AVRE now that it doubles petard mortar recharge. So now you are stuck with using Churchill (good luck getting that fast) or using your very first Cromwell or Centaur and have to support it with other AT since it can never 1v1 another tank ever again. If you want someone to sacrifice their first tank (it's never going to contribute much beyond it's aura) then that aura has to be worth it because you are knowingly conceding the armor advantage to your opponent by doing that.

The other option? Wait until the late game and downgrade an AEC that showhow survived or make a command tank with tank #2 or 3 and at that point why bother if the aura isn't good? Nevermind that Tommys and Sappers are getting nerfed in the DBP and you can't just spam 4-5 Tommys at start and win with brute force anymore.

Overall I think the current version of the revamp is pretty good - it definitely isn't as flashy as you say but I think it can be probably be good if used in the right hands.

The flame mortars still feel kind of funky to use to me where many shells seem to land in close proximity to each other - making it a so-so area denial tool given the delay between shells that gives the opposing player more than enough time to dodge the fire- it makes the fire seem like a pointless afterthought (units either die to impact damage or dodge completely). It feels like a weird hybrid of Major Arty and Incendiary Barrage but doesn't excel in either direction of being a cheap ability to force team weapons to move or a fast-landing area denial ability than can kill by DoT. It's basically feels like a too-expensive Major Arty with pointless fire effects added.

I still like my idea of a Sapper call-in to replace Stand Fast- something like a Tank-Hunter Sapper that comes with a PIAT and can lay immobilizing or stun mines or can upgrade to be a heavy sapper without Anvil (extra repairs and defensive by nature). I think it would be interesting to have commanders that allow you to dabble in Hammer or Anvil abilities without having to fully commit yourself to that tech path anyway.

Stand fast - nerf
Vehicle repair - small tweak
Command vehicle - some changes (buffs and nerfs), with biggest one being removed speed penalty
A-B mortar support - buff (or rather fix)
AVRE - nerf (nerfing unit which is already rarely seen and tricky to use).

If you can't see a synergy forming around the 4 new non-stand-fast abilities, I don't think I can help you

Mr Smith can verify but I think the team is going for a UKF that is a Shockrifle-esqe breakthrough style of play. Basically you cue up a Command Vehicle (personally I think Command Churchills have TONs of potential now that they can actually keep pace and Anvil is more viable) and can kick down the front door with your buffed army with the AVRE and off-map incendiaries to nuke support weapons walls and create chaos. (Side Note) - Mr. Smith I think you might want to increase the spread of the incendiary shells - right now they seem to clump in a small area and don't do much for area denial.

IMO the Stand Fast nerf was needed - it's supposed to support Emplacement repairs... not replace them and be a global F*ck You that Sim City players can use during brace to make it annoying as hell to counter. Vehicle Repairs are also great and much more than a small tweak - easier to use without blowing your Munitions float to repair a single vehicle (early-mid game) or totally f*ck yourself over by accidentally freezing a mostly healed tank mid-combat and then being stuck there while the ability times out.
