There is a couple of options, really.

Reduce dmg of CQC units, would not want that because you should get punished if you let them close the gap. Increase rifle damage, also not pref because I dont think its needed. Or increase the damage they take on approach to force the enemy to use support weapons, which would be my prefered option. This would also increase the risk the player has and would not influence USF early game much.

Well, the way I see it is this.

Unit A is a rifle squad that can upgrade to lmgs.
Unit B is a cc squad.

A is in cover. B runs up and wins the engagement because A doesn't have enough damage to prevent them from doing so. Player A starts blobbing his units to defend against B. And what's the most efficient weapon to blob? lmgs. Reduce received accuracy and player A will simply be more enticed to blob as his units are effective further away. So the fundamental issues are that long range squads are too weak individually against cc units and too effective against them when blobbed because of lmgs. If you buffed rifles and nerfed lmgs (with perhaps adjusted mp/muni costs), those problems should be taken care of. But this won't happen, because Relic's roadmap for this game is past those kinds of major balance changes.

And what's the problem with going for A to counter B?

If enemy has Jadgtiger I must go for mss mediums.

If enemy is blobbing really hard, I should get 2 HMGs.

If enemy makes M3/Bren/222, I make AT Gun.

Etc...

And it's not even necessary to counter emplacements only with late game artillery. But it seems no matter how many posts are made listing various kinds of direct and indirect counters, it doesn't matter. To demonstrate that I'll do it again:

#1 - Use at least double mortars/leigs. They can destroy emplacements quickly and force them to be braced so they become ineffective and destructible without danger, while being very good against the bolt action rifles and machine guns of UKF too. They will wipe repairing sappers. Emplacements can't do anything to them if you keep a reinforce HT (PS: just making a flame halftrack will force him to go AEC instead of bofors, AND you can take out the AEC) at your mortars or a FRP not far from your leigs.

#2 - If you are Ost, make gren > sniper > gren > sniper and insert a mortar wherever if you need to take out a garrison, then select osttruppen/luftwaffe/CAS. If you selected ost, obviously make osts instead of grens. Move all your units as one while your pios cap. Drop fuel, which he can't contest because he has emplacements instead of units. Only get an mg42 if he starts making a bunch of flame engineers. Spend only as much manpower as you need to hold his units back and put the rest into caches, then skip T2 and get tanks which his emplacements are useless against and win the game. Alternatively drop munitions instead, make at least 3 halftracks to put all your units in, get schreks and a minesweeper, then drive into his base and upgrade flammen on 2 HTs & destroy his buildings to win the game, bypassing his emplacements entirely. Or use it to simply get multiple flammen HTs if he made a bofors (which he shouldn't have if you succeeded in your early game), force it to brace and drive in. If he made an AEC, make one flammen and use the munitions drop for schreks instead.

#3 - If you are OKW, make a kubelwagen and send it to cap the map (you'd think there would be no need to say the last part, but after I watched some casted replays...). Send your sturmpios not to cap any point at all, but straight into combat with his infantry section (this usually means sending them to his fuel point). Follow up with volks. Aim to simply tie his units down in combat (so stay behind cover) while your kubel caps the whole map, get an mg34 if he goes flame engineers, then do whatever you want to win the game as he has no vision, no positions and no fuel, and won't be able to put up emplacements in the first place.

#4 - If you are in a team game, fight as normal first so the Brit makes emplacements at his side, then double team the other one. If he makes emplacements at his friend's side then your buddy can hold position at his while you cap all of the Brit's points and send your units to help, now you have most of the map.

#5 - If you are in a team game, get Elefant and/or Jagdtiger. They'll take out both tanks and emplacements, the Elefant doctrine comes with great abilities earlier too and so does the Jagdtiger (example: Pzusilier flares = he will be under more pressure against them with their G43s, he can't hide his emplacement construction, snipers are revealed, and they spot for your leigs).

#6 - If he put his emplacements near buildings, get building spawn units. Force his bofors to brace with double mortars/leigs, which you should have earlier or at the same time as his bofors, and then attack. When he sends in a machine gun, spawn a unit and grenade-wipe it, and then walk over and wipe the other one.

Those are off the top of my head.

How does that fix wehrmacht infantry game?Its all just crutch sniper.

What are the problems exactly? (besides broken things that should/will be fixed like USF mortar)

I think the arty fest nature of teams games is in part a result of most of the maps being poorly designed. When the maps are so choke pointed and narrow, it's obvious going to end up in a campy arty fest. More wider, open maps would certainly help.

This. I've been talking for years about the commonly lacking map design in CoH2.

3 victory points in team games is as stupid as a single victory point would be in 1v1 and it gets worse with player number increases, it results in campy play and waves of units being thrown at each other. I don't understand why that hasn't been changed, obviously if 3 VPs are adapted for 1v1 then team games that have more players must have more than 3 VPs. Then you have not only that but maps like Road to Kharkov, Moscow Outskirts etc. with messed up point placements that "give" each team a fuel point (especially try taking those clusters of near-base points from an OKW flak HQ on those kinds of maps...) and a couple of other points, and then have few points to fight over.

- Team game maps need to have an amount of VP sectors adapted for increased player count
- No "free" points for teams that are practically impossible to cap or cut off, especially not if they are fuel points and/or clusters of points
- Make sure that there are enough points on the map to fight over in no man's land, so that it doesn't settle into each team pseudo-camping on their side because any major attack you launch would have to dislodge and destroy the opponent's entire forces because he has nowhere else to send them anyway, this goes hand in hand with the second point
- No taking of maps that are made for 1v1 and turning them into 2v2 maps

Its easier to recover from suppression when you're in cover and when shot by low RoF weapons(bolt action rifles).

That explains it.

Anyway, the point I wanted to make is you don't need to just straight up make it an arms race between allied and axis tanks/fanboys (like it's been for the game's entire history) by buffing the P4. You can increase its soft power by improving the faction design.
