I voted but want to make sure assault grenadiers are looked at/improved either way

German Heavy Armor

Slot 1 - 0cp - Assault grenadiers

Slot 2 - 2cp - riegel 43 halftrack mine

Slot 3 - 4cp - relief infantry

Slot 4 - 9cp - command panzer

Slot 5 - 13cp - Tiger

I am on my phone and found out about this post recently but wanted to submit a post still. All unlocks are currently available in the game and would remain unchanged (although it would be nice to have riegel mines take longer to defuse since they were so sensitive in real life.). Germany heavy tank battalions were active beginning in 1943 so makes sense to have riegel mines. Additionally mp40s were active throughout the whole campaign and tigers were active during 1943. The panzer IV with the smaller gun wasn’t produced during 43 anymore but it could make sense for an a “ace” crew to give advice/tactics to other tank crews on how to survive. Additionally the command panzer might help assault greens acale better into late game.

+1. Amazing write up and I hope Relic/Sega read it and listen to what the community has to say.

bump how many more do we need?

Well I haven't played the game in years but hopefully I can give my two cents on the matter. In regards to the Brits, yes there definitely needs to be some adjustment.

I for one happen to believe that the starting HQ truck should still be allowed to move and setup outside of the "base point" BUT only on Manpower points. The HQ truck would not be allowed to deploy on Munition or Fuel points. The remaining trucks would still be allowed to deploy on Munition and Fuel points. I might even suggest allowing two trucks to upgrade their resource income, except with a penalty. First truck resource upgrade is normal, second truck resource upgrade is half as effective or make both trucks 75% as effective.

The British Staghounds need their armor reduced.

I also think that the British should not have medics, but just a healing station. Maybe half the munition cost per use since it won't have medics.

I am not sure what the best way to deal with British veterancy would be. Perhaps add a third truck and removed the requirement of lt/cpt to build the next command truck (if third truck is implemented into the British forces, than the resource income would still be limited to only one truck). From this third truck (think of it as the vet building for wher), you could build your captain and veterancy upgrades that carry over to all individual units (not the same bonuses that are given to them from lts/cpts, but perhaps similar to wher upgrades). Captain could still provide his additional bonuses, since it is just 1 of him. Lieutenants need the overhaul in this system. I would probably just get rid of them all together and increase the base speed of tommys (or have that as part of one of the upgrades).

I wouldn't mind seeing the kangaroo replaced for another type of tank (perhaps the Chaffee M24 light tank).

I think the minesweeper option should be standard for sappers. Those sappers should also be allowed to place their demo charges anywhere (similar to commando demos). If you want piat sappers, you have to research that in the truck, and then that would allow you to build sappers (with piats) from your truck. However, those sappers would cost more manpower. Over repair could still be an upgrade option for standard sappers (meaning they could have mine sweepers, demos, and the ability to over repair). Although I can't say I like the over repair all that much and would like to see that replaced with something else. Piat sappers would not be allowed to unlock over repair.
