Profile of Stark

Its also a good moment to look into:
1. Hold the line ability
2. Recovery sappers - standarization to 5 men with other call in infantry without boolster. Also would be nice to see them hide aweeper to increase their performance.
3. Newest LandLeasse commander- its meh in late game so would be nice to change self-repairs with something else

Assault Officer (Previously Was Airlanding Officer)

Again another recipe for disaster. UKF may lack CQC stock unit but they do not need a stock commando unit. The unit will completely make commandos doctrine UP forcing additional power creep.

Instead of introducing a unit that will completely counter AssG SP and MP40VG and will be able to bully enemy mainline infatry aim lower and introduce a unit will simply allow UKF to defend vs these unit.

Suggestions:
Keep the unit at 280 starting with 5 entities and have them use 5 sten at about AssIS power (maybe the officer go use the commando one). Replace the light gammon bomb with a incendiary grenade.

In addition custom vet bonus for the unit more:
Replace passive healing with received accuracy split between vet 2 and vet 3 with superior bonus
Replace Reckon flight with a timed ability that give the unit armor and suppression resistance.

With these changes the unit will fulfill the role for helping UKF vs CQC unit without overlapping with commandos.

I don't think you test this unit correctly

Looking at his counterparts situation looks like this:
At vet0 they looses vs sturmpio squad and pgrens, barely vs assualt grens
at vet3 depends on scenario they can win or loose vs pgrens and easily win vs sturmpio

They definitely not bulling any CQC squad from OKW or Ostheer at vet0. Plus you can have only 1 of them on the field. It has a strong vet bonuses with cool abilities.

And argument that comes earlier than pgrens maybe a fact but we talking about 1 min or so. That only inpacts ostheer but if so unit can have increase build time or could be put behind sidetech.

Plus, unit can't cammo so it cannot be compare to commando squad. Options to ambush axis infantry then depends more on a skill of a player.

• Good changes overall, testing would have to show if the timing delays are enough to make heavies less prominent. Reducing the AoE would be the logical next thing to look at. Especially the Tiger and Pershing just delete squads too quickly with their large splash damage and fast reload.
  
  

I just wanna point out that last Heavy tank buff was becouse no1 ever used them. Therefore BalanceTeam increase it AoE and reduce timing. If we now nerf both timing and AoE we will end up with scenario from 6 months ago.

HQ Glider

Cost from 450 to 390
Forward HQ Retreat Point and Medics must now be researched for 150 manpower.

I really like the idea of making a airlanding officer a basic infantry unit, it fills the necessary gap in UKF tech tree and therefore i understand why we need to make an ajustment to a HQ Glider. BUT few things in balancing it:

1. Glider cannot cost the same as Commando Regiment Glider. Why? Becouse this one allow you also to recruit a commando squad, give healing and FRP.

2. Glider has to be more diversed compare to Commando Regiment version. If not i see even less arguments to pick Commando Regiment - commander that not long ago was revamped. Vanguard with a glider has also Crocodile and call-in strafe (so heavy tank and elite infantry and off map - combo that should be avoided). That's gonna be an autopick in 90% of games.

3. Free Commando squad has to go or need to be replace by a diffrent squad. I would say there are 2 options: a) recon infantry section which would work like jeagers/pathfinders (already in gamefiles with scope Lee–Enfield rifle upgrade) or b) AT commando squad so commando squad with more powerfull edition of piats c) allow to make an buildable mortar team with commando crew. - which still brits really lack. Anyway i don't get the argument why regular commando squad should stay expect it's just easy and lazy solution.

4. Glider HQ has to be repairable to make a side upgrades (healing and FRP) worthwhile. Especially in certain situations when you can't really land a Glider without wounding it.

Please remove all sight range bonuses from the pyrotechnical supplies upgrade now. Being able to call down smoke and artillery is more than enough for 40mun, but I dont see why a section blob should still be able to reveal HMGs from super far away now simply by letting the vet 1 pyrotech section stand behind cover for 3 sec

I would prefer to be changed into an ability for a unit. Cost 10 ammo increase a sight by that current 10% (i maybe wrong in numbers) in a 10 sec period when unit is static. Require a micro and it's no longer a brainless feature.

Similar stuff was made with OKW Overwatch flare.
