Both soviets and germans have some strong and some weak vet1 abilities. Over all I don't agree with the title as you only posted the meh ones.

Medkits are situational, but can be useful from time to time. Sometimes squads get injured badly but don't lose members. For 25 ammo, you can keep them on the field without having to run back to base. They also work nicely in combination with a half-track. Personally, I would like to see the price of this ability dropped to 10 or 15 ammo as 25 ammo is only really worth it on gravely injured squads.

Infantry tracking on the light vehicles is great. It greatly increases sight range which allows your scout car to really do it's job: Scout.

Counter barrage is 'meh'. It's advantige is that your units will auto-fire on enemy barrage weapons even without knowing where they are. It's meh to decent on howitzers and panzerwerfers, but it's practically useless on mortars.

Target weakpoint is pure gold. It always penetrates and stuns the target long enough for another shot (except on the elephant due to long reload). I heard it's bugged at the moment though I have not experienced any issues myself.

Incendiary rounds brutal. You just need to make sure you activate it before the actual fight because it requires a reload.

The sniper fire can, as far as I know, kill more than one entity. It's expensive though and not a super good ability over all.

Blitzkrieg is excellent. There is little else to say about it.

Keep going guys!

Oh, ok.. So the MG's mounted on the medium tanks are there for display after all.. I mean really, you see a P4 and your officer goes,
"wooopdedoooo! more targets for our potatoes!"
Yuri complains, "But Sir! It's a tank!"
And the officer simply replies with, "It's JUST a tank, no match for that potatoe in your pocket! For Stalina!!"

A well thrown potato could do some serious harm to the exposed turret top gunner.

When you play with the germans, there are three ways to go for T4.

1) The easy way: If your opponent goes for T4, he gets tanks that aren't capable of aggressive armored assaults. You should have plenty of room to tech to T4 while defending with a Pak40 and possibly a panzerschrek squad. You can now build panthers which fare a lot better against SU-85s than PIVs do.

2) The harder way: If your opponent goes for T3, he will be able to perform aggressive armored assaults. At this point, you can only tech to T4 if you managed to get an advantage in the early game. Without this advantage, the timing of your first panther will be too late and you will have to get some armor out earlier. If you had an advantage early on, you can use some simple extra AT-measures (mines, panzerschreks, a second Pak) to bridge the timing of your first panther. You will now have a tank that is very hard for soviet T3 to deal with, provided you micro properly and don't send the panther out alone to get rammed.

3) The "I have done so much damage with T3 that I can keep on teching" way. Usually teching to T4 is useless at this point, but sometimes a panzerwerfer can be the last missing ingredient to secure your victory.

I think it's fine the way it is now. Some vehicles like the ostwind and KV-8 are already scary enough for infantry to deal with, having main battle tanks like the Piv and T34/76 be even more scary will just make spamming them even more appealing.

Your changes would mess too much with the overall balance of the game, for very little overall gain in playability.
