There is nothing wrong if offmap needs a unit to finish the job.
Infantry company does not "need to lose" anything.
There is no such thing as "too much utility for a single commander" if the commander is focused on providing utility, if you disagree, I expect to see nerf luftwaffe supply doctrine in multiple ways from you soon, because its insane how much utility that commander is providing.

Also, infantry commander, seems like you do not seem to be aware of it, does not provide equivalent of ISU/ele to USF.

A problem with T2 timing imo has more to do with the delayed faust if one chooses T2 than anything else.

Mechanized HQ: Kind of an odd request, but I would like to see the repair pioneers made cheaper or even free. With how absurdly expensive and overworked Spios are, they're a necessity.

I'll make it short since this is a rather off topic discussion and we've had it plenty of times before:

Adding side tech cost for Allies only is completely misleading. Allied infantry is meant to have side techs by design, they need it to be competitive. The cost of those side techs as well as unit timings have been balanced with Allied main tech (that's why the pure Allied main tech path is cheaper than Axis counterparts). When the side tech has to be bought matters for balancing, but not for the overall point.
So you have two choices for comparison between Allied and Axis squads: Either add side techs to the main tech cost. Or as you say, add it to the unit cost. But then split some arbitrary amount of Axis tech cost to weapon upgrade/nade unlock etc as well. Because this is part of what their teching benefit, but Axis does not have a choice while doing so.




So finally after all that back to 5 men Grens:

Factoring in the costs here is okay, because you get them regardless of teching or any other condition. They have been balanced towards the LMG alternative, not the timing of another unit.
