Simply move M-10 to mechanized where it more suited thematically.

Make it a call-in but also available from major at lower price.

Buffing a unit (M-36) and then all there rest (M-10) just to make the more attractive is step in the wrong direction.

Alternatively make M-10 stock and M-36 call-in and rebalance.

Yes.

And can you guess what we call units that don't perform at vet0 compared to stock alternatives?
M4C doesn't have a place in USF roster, regardless of vet bonuses it might or might not achieve and even then, it should perform accordingly to make it appealing over stock M4.

It is a nice alternative for T34, but not M4.
EZ8 would be a much better choice then trying to make M4C appealing.

Having a tanks main gun firing bellow 2 secs is simply broken, and it needs fixing, regardless of your theories. Unless you want to argue that it should be able to fire that fast, I suggest you move on.

If you have a suggestions to replace M4C with another unit pls make it but pls stop derailing the thread arguing for the sake of arguing. It is my opinion that if M4C stays it needs fixing.

76mm shermans are just gimped M4s. They don't have the AT to justify no HE like the easy 8 but they still loose the HE.

Give 76mm sherman HE or replace 76mm with easy 8.

Try a vet 3 sherman 76 with radio net III and combined arms it might change your mind.

after playing a bit more with the mod:

Scorched earth:
seem to be in weird spot. I need to used in sector in supply, the mortar shell take too long land and seems to do little damage, there is little indication (to none) that the sector is not returning resources and it takes very long to set up.

On the other hand being to use it on VPs seem a bit weird.

The ability seems is difficult to use aggressively while it can backfire when used defensively since the enemy can just go on your sector trigger them and watch lose resources.

One can replace it with a an ability with mechanism similar to booby traps where the player decides if he wants to disable a sector with no engineers needed.

Commissar:
Can we have some info on vet bonuses?

The abilities do not seem for much information on the type of bonus unit gets (offensive defensive) and there is little info to which units it available since they do not seem to work on support weapons.

The unit seems to require allot of macro since one has target the unit which can be difficult if many units are involved.

(Pls consider making the abilities available to the units themselves and able to be activated only near the Officer. Alternatively activated when conscripts use ourah.)

booby traps:
cool-down seems to be too low. In addition it seems that ability is disabled if enemy start caping before it can be armed, maybe it would help if player was warned about that in UI.

Pretty sure you don't have to hit to apply suppression. The reason why BARs and 1919s suppress much better is because this suppression is per shot (according to my understanding) and these weapons simply fire more bullets.

You are probably right (hits might only count for AOE suppression and I didn't remember correctly). One can probably test this with vet 1 RE that have more accuracy and see if it make any difference is suppression speed.

Bottom line is that volley fire is more work better with BARs and LMGs and that make the ability even more difficult to balance.
