Limiting emplacement to 1 actually more complicated because commander like:
Royal engineer
Advance emplacement

would have to be redesigned. One would also have to add a way to get read of emplacements and a refund.

I really isn't because you could replace improved fortifications with allowing the player to build one or two more emplacements of each type and buff emplacement repair ability or something along those lines.
Keeping on topic now.

In my opinion these defenses (emplacement, okw AA guns maybe hmg bunker)could get increasingly bigger penalties for being spammed.

Price and POP could increase according to number being built on map.

I'm not a big fan of increasing resources over a number of units/time. It is much more intuitive if you could only have a max of, let say, 4/5 bunkers/fighting positions and only 1 of each type of brit emplacement (seeing how they are op as individual units) per game per player. It's a way easier solution to implement and less complicated for players to understand.

Sometimes retreating is worse than staying or moving laterally, reason being because the models clump up together then retreating.

This is all dandy but then you realise that UKF, USF and OKW exist which makes balancing snipers even worst.

It's only dificult to balance sniper with okw since it's the only faction that doesn't have a direct counter that hits the field in time.

Either each model works independently as spotter and shooter, or every time the first model dies, it's the sniper to make unavailable to counter snipe.

That's actually a cleaner way to balance since both soviet and wehr players would be happy. The soviet player has a chance to save his sniper by retreading the spotter and wehr player doesn't get insta counter sniped by the spotter.
I would still look at 3 things:
-Soviet ROF, just to make sure it's not too strong versus 4 model squads.
-Soviet flare ability that reveals wehr sniper and every other cloaked unit, this might be a bit op for an sniper ability. I would suggest changing the ability to something else (give some variety to the faction, it has too many flares already) or make so that it doesn't reveal cloaked units.
-Wehr explosive round abilty. It takes too long to shot, or it misses or it doesn't shoot at all. Might be bugged.

- Wehr Mortar can easy 1 shot the Soviet Sniper team.
- The soviet Mortar team CANNOT 1 shot the Wehr Sniper. That's why it got the extra health.
So it would be un-1 shottable by mortars.

T70 rarely hits vet 3. T34 rarely hits vet 3.
Germans however do, regularly.

I am at work. So can't verify what vet requirements do. But we often do comparisons.
Soviet has Bolt action scoped rifle. German has G41 scoped rifle. aims, fires, kills way faster.
As a result German hits vet 3 about 3x faster than Soviet snipers do.

I am saying German sniper is superior in SO many cases.
And yet you still want the underdog to be nerfed even more?

I tested both soviet and wehr mortars versus both snipers and it takes 10 shots to kill both models (with vision and auto attack) from the soviet sniper team and takes one barrage (4 shots) and to kill the wehr sniper it takes 5 shots (with vision and auto attack, funny how it's half the shots ) and takes one barrage (3 shots). But then again this is with both sniper standing still and that never happens in game so a mortar wont ever be a counter to snipers unless you are the unluckiest guy and walk right into 2+ mortar shells. I just realized that wehr sniper has more health than the soviet sniper precisely because the soviet sniper can survive a mortar shell because it has 2 models and it would be very unfair if you looked away for 2 secs and lost your wehr sniper to a lucky mortar shell without the chance to react.

If your t-70's and t-34's dont hit vet 3 it's because you play too recklessly with them and loose them too fast, that's on you not balance. I have actually seen many vet 3 t-70's and t-34's...

It's intriguing that you say the wehr sniper hits vet 3x faster, that's just not true...
The much I write here the more I think that actually the underdog is the wehr sniper... Even if it's rate of fire is faster comparing to soviet sniper team rate of fire (which is 1/2 sec slower anyways) and having in mind that one sniper will be fighting 4/5 man squads and the other 5/6 man squads I come to the conclusion that the soviet sniper can wipe a gren squad or team weapon faster than the wehr sniper can wipe a con squad or team weapon.

If you truly ONLY want impartial balance, you will say YESSS!!!!

What's not to like?

Just stop being childish, no one want's that. We just want the game to offer options for players to show their skill and every unit should have it's counter and everything one unit has over another should be offset by something bad.

By looking at your profile avatar and signature I can clearly see that you are very soviet biased so I see why you are saying all these things...
