I also disagree with the camo nerf, or at least think it's too extreme. The other commanders with Ambush Camo (Storm and Encirclement Doctrines) are well below average in popularity.
Replacing one of the Jaeger Infantry's strikes seems to be a better approach.

While the subject has been brought up: I think the Jaeger Command Squad is an awkward unit that doesn't contribute enough that other commander abilities don't do already. Maybe it could use more utility/officer abilities?

So are you trying to say the fact that you've lost like 30 seconds-1 minute of capping due to having build T1 that they've gone from viable to non-viable?

Because combat wise they function exactly like they've always had past the very early game when you could milk what was most broken about them by spamming Call-in them. I fail to see how changing them from Call-In to Buildable is suddenly turning them into a clone and "bad-design" when that's the only thing you're changing. I think it's worse design if you're arguing that they are only viable if you can have the really hard to counter early game pressure that snowballs - because either their combat power and scaling is good or it isn't. If yes they then are viable...

Except for the fact that Ostruppen still are cheaper to build and thus arriver faster and are cheaper and faster to reinforce and thus are more effective in terms of cost to field.

Just because they aren't as far apart from the Grens as when they were call-ins doesn't mean those advantages still don't exist.

I don't understand why people think Ostruppen aren't viable since their combat performance hasn't been touched just their early game timing. In terms of cost effectiveness they work just as good as they did previously. Oppressive early game pressure isn't the only thing that made them viable...plus they will be getting some minor buffs (probably) in the next patch so they should be more than fine to use.

Though their department is in defense and weapon re-crew, I don`t see anyone using them anymore, they definetly don`t fare well against USF and British alone (mostly because you already ran out of manpower trying to get MGs and PAKs)

Possible idea:

Should they have an upgrade of panzershreck like the old volskgrenadier so they don`t have to literally use all their ammo on panzerfaust and unreliable artillery?
