Welcome to the forums by the way.

To be honest all call in bundles should be reworked. The Mechanized PGren and Grenadier squads as well.

It does not help anything in the late game because the LV is just wasted resources, and in the early game you're often (not always, but very often) off with just buying the infantry squad. I have the feeling the LVs also come a tad too late.

The German versions should be able to at least upgrade to a mortar half track, while the SOV version - actually don't know. The AA is neat, but often does not fit into a build. Just give the Guards here.

The god of CoH decides every day anew which maps will be played 24/7 for as long as he pleases.

You can do a sacrificial downrank and hope that he will let go you into a region where the meta does not matter and no maps get vetoed anymore.

There was a thread like this recently.

I suggest what I suggested back then:
Make the ability reduce reinforcement costs for (all up to balance, just suggestions) about a minute by 50% and cost 35-50 mun. Helps OSTs late game MP bleed, helps against base rapes, you don't get useless infantry squads that you likely don't need and it's easier to use.
Balancing could also be done via cool down duration so it's not spammable.

I'll chip in my two cents about the Stuart:

For all non high level players it lacks a role.
It's mediocre at AT and AI which by the cost is fine, but there is no reason to build it. 222 and 251 are too cheap that it were worth building a Stuart as counter, especially since the Stuart becomes next to useless after the early game. Against a Luchs it's okay, while it loses to the Puma (which is all fine considering unit costs).

This means that the Stuart is also not a reaction unit like the Puma. To make the most use of it, you constantly need to keep it fighting. Push the 222 if you see it and shoot at infantry the rest of the time. Otherwise the Stuart won't pay off. The USF design fits well with crew repairs, but using a unit like this is very micro intensive. So most players are not up to the task to use the maximum potential because not everyone plays CoH for 500+ hours.
The engine shot is very nice for the mid game, but the Stuart becomes very fragile at this time point and using this ability is very micro insensive again.


The current design fits high level play where we see the Stuart regularly, but not basically everything else.
