The entire “sections can’t push” argument dies the moment you consider 6 and 7 man Conscripts have no trouble attacking, even with significantly worse grenades.
Problem attacking with sections is mostly in early to mid game when they are still 4 man, have very bad moving acc and RA debuff out of cover.
Let’s start with “THE LIGHT VEHICLE”, which is the strongest power spike for both Soviet with the T70 and to an extent USF with the Stuart. UKF doesn’t have a go-to light vehicle they can rush. They have the AEC, which is a slightly weaker Puma, but that’s a reactionary pick due to its AT nature, not something you can rush, while Soviets can rush the hell out of the T70 regardless if it’s 5mins or 6mins. To fix this issue, I have two ideas. Either bring the M5 quad AA from lend lease over to the platoon CP and replace the doctrine slot with a mortar HT (or something creative) or put Valentine tanks over to the Platoon CP and adjust accordingly to prevent the old Valentine spam from that Jan patch.
Adding the valentine in the stock lineup to replace the Bofors has alway be my dream. Make valentine into a slow infantry tank, mutually exclusive with aec, Bofors can be build once one of those 2 been tech.
