Since some people seem to have trouble appreciating the value disembarking I started this thread to explain some of them.

USF vehicles, accept Pershing/Calliope/Priest, have the option to disembark their crews, that gives USF crews a number of benefits:

1) Allows them lower Upkeep for unused vehicles.
Since crews have a pop of 4 and vehicles have more one can lower his upkeep by disembarking the crew. For instance if ones has build a M36 but currently there are no vehicles around one can lower his upkeep by 10 simply by disembarking that requires very little micro.

One can even use this to exceed the pop limit.

2) Transfer veteran crew.
One can change crew so that the vehicles he needs at moment have higher veterancy. For instance if one has managed to get veterancy in his early vehicle like the mortar HT one can then swamp crews with his new M36 to make the most out of it.

Especially when it comes to unit that can vet relatively safe one can even use the vehicles to vet his infantry.

3) Repairs.
With the latest nerfs to other factions repairs speed USF crews have an even advantage since they have faster repair speed, access to the "repair critical" ability, great repair speed vet bonuses and they vet allot easier than standard engineers since the damage comes from the vehicles and not the crew.
In addition one does not have to move engineer or the vehicle since one carriers the engineer with him.

4)Vehicle transfer.
One can even use the ability to give or lend vehicles to teammates. For instance a USF player can disembark a ambulance and give it to a Soviet player who is using a t2 start to have his support weapons healed and reinforced.

To conclude disembark is great ability available to USF crews with a number of benefits.

same thing for the Jackson if they get their HP down to 480 HP.

puma survival kit is good to get you out of a jam, but it's not going to help you if you go balls down.

My response was directed to an irrelevant suggestion, I never claimed that M36 can be used to push.

PLS stop bringing up the Puma. Puma has very little relevance to the m36 you propose.

One could lower damage from auto to 70 and leave barrage to 80.

Or one could lower HP to hmg and mortars to 60 with target size of 1 and lower damage to 64.

and I specifically said barrage range in my first post

You also said 120 range it's 100.

Who's barrage is 100? I just tested it 5 minutes before I made the post and it is the same range at vet 0. if it is behind a shot blocker us one of the doctrinal solutions like falls or jaegers.

Leig has an auto-attack range of 80 and barrage range of 100.
120mm has an auto-attack range of 100 and barrage range of 100.

it is just as disheartening to have your garrisoned mg being pounded by 2-3 leig hiding behind a schwerer knowing as soon as you full the mg back the volk blob is coming.

And that is the problem you need 540-810 manpower to counter a single HMG.
