1. M10 is cheaper, but If I remember right, they increased it's price with buff, so it costs almost like Ostheer StuG G. Playing ONLY with call-in M10s, specially in late may end for you pretty bad - Elephants, KTs, Panthers and such beasts will just stump them, covered with other Axis AT. And Im not sure, that M10 is able to shut Ostheer T3. StuG G is pretty powerful and cheap AT too, so it's not unstopable... In any case, my point was - you just can't play ONLY with call-in tanks, their quality is not good enough. That's why you are able to call them without teching.

2. Increasing price for Call-ins if you haven't teched enough. Gonna enable "Farseer mode" - nobody will just use them. Seriously, overpaying for low quality units, instead of saving resourses on tech, which with you getting normal units? All call-ins will become just useless, you can instantly remove them from game after that. Anyone, who understand, how resourse management in CoH works will say the same.

3. About Shermans, KVs and such stuff... Soviet shermans costs like T-34-85, but perform like T-34-76 with a bit better stats, KVs are poor, even KV-2, Ostwind is poor (played in vCoH sometime ago - how deadly it was there...), Flammenpanzer is poor... I don't know who builds their game around those units. I may understand, that soviets build their game arounds those units, but only becasue stock is way worse than call-ins, such designed it is. But USF has in stock more powerful units, than in doctrines, so... Making it tech binded doesn't look good for their attractiveness.

4. Last big patch was and is just pyle of sh*t. It was devastating blow to factions design (specially OKW) and it didn't really made anything better. But, that's another discussion.

5. And I think, existance of such call-ins rewards more agressive gameplay, cos without tech-binding you can get them faster, so it makes game "faster" and more agressive. Tech binding will slow gameplay, tanks will come later, cos again - is there anyone sane who will pay x1.5 (or x any number >1) price for unit, instead of saving those res for tech and getting units from tech? And besides - if you dominated over the field, then you had more resourses, then you got more powerful units. I think, that same M10 spam in late can be really tasty food for your JT or Elephant, if you really dominated over the field you should be able to afford those beasts.

6. There is nothing wrong in campy playstyle, though... You can't always play in rush, it's just impossible. And there are people, which actually like campy playstyle (artillerists, emplacementers...). Im sure, that our... their gamestyle is not worse, than gamestyle of those, who prefer to play agressive. It makes in game tactical and strategic rich. So, let's not say, that campy playstyle should be punished, and agressive - rewarded. It is biased position, I don't think, we should approve it, right?
