Well I have outlined the changes and they are all pretty subtle and would make the game much more vcoh style compare to what it is now and that could only be a great thing. Historical or not the current game does not make any sense what so ever, with the soviets having 5 viable infantry squads to the ost 2 ( not counting ass grens) then its obvious that grens will have to be better than cons end of story.

5? Conscripts, Penals, Shocks, Guards, ?????? (Nevermind you can't even have all 4 at once. Also why don't you count assgrens, it's not like soviets don't have several commanders without shocks or guards. )

You are saying nerfing conscripts would make it more "vcoh" like, but a big problem with the balance right now is that conscripts aren't nearly as strong as riflemen were compared to the Wehrmacht unit selection but are nevertheless forced to perform the exact same role as riflemen had.

Guards, shocks and penals can't fill the role that conscripts have now without a complete redesign of all of them. A redesign which you certainly didn't mention.

Don't agree with most things. Seems horribly biased towards nerfing soviets even though the current balance favors germans.

Things in particular I disagree with:

Soviet infantry is already worse for cost, they're definitely not waltzing into any sort of ostheer army right now.

I see you have no problem in having Grenadiers have faust and grenades at the same time for completely free while conscripts get overall worse versions of these abilities (though molotov atleast has good sides to it) only if the player pays for them. Soviets are currently punished for doing anything except conscript spamming, because most of T1 and T2 as well as shocks are hard countered by german T2, and grenadiers are definitely the better scaling unit except with 3 specific soviet commanders and even ppsh is at best equal to the lmg, in many situations worse.

While I might agree with a shock nade change for the sake of variety, your logic for it is ridiculous. Shock nades already are the WORST grenade in the game, it's a miracle when they kill anything. The guard nade/bundle (effectively same grenade with the guard nade throwing faster) is hugely better.

Button is already made worthless by panzer tactician (15 munitions compared to 60 flat+40 per use for button, and available on just as many commanders as guards) and in general is very hard to use against anyone who isn't rushing their vehicles in like a complete idiot. And you think it needs to be worse than it is now?

PaK ALREADY ARE BETTER THAN ZIS AS AT, it has a much better firing rate, comes from a better building and has a much better special ability. For the love of god I'd love to see them just get rid of the 60 munition, most inaccurate artillery barrage ever on the ZiS just so people would stop justifying anything based on it.

Soldiers riding tanks very much a gimmick, we already have oorah anyway for fast travel (even if nobody will use it for that because it costs too much to spam). Also M5 halftracks which are also not used.

I'll assume you meant FHT instead of HTD, because otherwise that made no sense. The flameht is one of the top german units in need of a huge nerf really, atleast to the time it comes out if nothing else. It's a unit that can be on the field at 6 minutes easily while the KV8 is a late-game doctrine specific unit only available in two kinda suboptimal commanders. Both units should still be looked at balance wise but the FHT is by far the more problematic of the two right now.

Panther already has 50 range like the StuG, 10 more than the PIV. Price change to Panther and Brumm was stupid though, the manpower investment requirement for them is ridiculous. Should be reverted to the previous 440MP/whatever fuel cost it was.

5-men Grenadiers? You want grenadiers to outclass conscripts even worse? Jesus.

PGrens are fine.
