Invised some posts for being offtopic.

This is not a realism thread or a hardcore realistic game. So tone down how much you expect of realism in CoH2

E8 was uparmored sherman variant, better at taking punishment from AT infantry and enemy AT emplacements, perfect in urban enviroment.

Yes it fits the theme.

Digging in on urban maps when there is plenty of garrisons still makes less sense than building defensive positions on open maps. Also im curious what would you remove to make space for sandbags, maybe calliope? I would actualy support that idea since calliope in its current state is hot garbage, much worse than katyusha and much more expensive.

Cooked grenades give the enemy less time to react and are thus more powerful and are thus more expensive.... Seems pretty straight forward to me...

Maybe make the snare tied to the grenade tech and make the option for cooked nades a vet1? Certainly see more grenade teching then

I like that. I think having rifles upon infiltration spawn is a better solution than a 3 man squad though. That way the infiltration spawn still takes planning and thinking ahead but doesn’t punish the British player for using it.


I like the idea of the SAS infiltration squad, but giving them M1 carbines with the same stats as paratroopers and rangers upon spawning from infiltration would still be a bit strong (keep in mind that these M1 carbines are different from the rear echelon ones and are straight up better than the riflemen’s garands). I would suggest still making them spawn with Lee Enfields, which are worse on the move and shoot slower, and then give them an upgrade that gives them 3 Thompsons and 2 M1 carbines, but that locks out brens because their brens would be OP in conjunction with Thompsons.


Well if they were given Thompsons it should lock out both weapon slots assuming there were 3 Thompsons and 2 carbines in the squad total.

TL; DR of the various opinions in my responses:

Make commandos buildable from HQ at normal cost as vipper said, but let infiltration spawns spawn at 5 men with Lee enfields and have a free upgrade to stens.

Alternatively, and (IMO) more interetingly, as GI John 412 wrote, rename them as SAS infiltration squads and give them Lee enfields upon spawning (including from infiltration) and give them an upgrade for like 60 muni that gives them 3 Thompsons and 2 M1 carbines and locks out both weapon slots. Spawning from infiltration with 5 M1 carbines would be a bit OP though.
