All changes sound great.

Infiltration has been cheap cheese from the very start. Coh2.org has always been the only forum with any sanity... post this anywhere else and everyone would be shouting how great elite squad infiltration is and how instawipes are rewarding their skill.

That's not the real counter, blobing sniper makes it retreat and that's it. We speak about ways to kill that unit, not base on rng or mistake of your opponent. Yes, PF and obers can kill the sniper even on long range but only if it's overextended (aka. mistake of your enemy). I personally want a unit that can cammo and in appropriate conditions can 1 shotted enemy sniper. That's a real counter.

Having thought about it, I don't think infiltration units need any changes tbh. Even if you reduce their cost to compensate, they would lose their main appeal, which is the ability to cause chaos and ambush units. Without that there is no reason to get Fallschirmjagers or Jagers instead of plain Volks. Leave them be.

Not a fan of the timer option. That kills some strategic play, denying garrisons to the enemy at key moments.
Plus twenty seconds is so long that you would be in middle of other things and you'd eventually check your newly spawned squad and find them all as bags of skin, wriggling around in the dirt, squirming for their last breath with which to utter "why me?"

I think the better options are a cooldown on grenades, like jaegers have with infiltration nades, and/or they spawn with vanilla weapons and require upgrades, but adjust base price to compensate for the weapons upgrades as they are in decent place cost wise, particularly now you can't check status of a garrison through fog of war anymore.
