I do think Ost is just a downgrade of OKW at this point, but let's keep trying the patch first. There are a lot of buffs to Ost in it.

If the Bofors and mortar pit are dealt with as well that would also come as a straight buff to the faction.

The LeiG does nothing without player input, that was removed as they removed it's suppression

Since this is factually incorrect (the ISG auto fire on any spotted unit), I don't know how to address it directly. However, I will say I think you are misreading me. I am saying by and large the gun is placed in a location by the player and then ignored. Occasionally it is called upon to barrage an area (for instance when attacking an emplacement).

Also the ISG barrage and auto fire range are identical, at least at vet 0, and both of these are less than the mortar pit, and at vet 1 they are still less than the mortar pit.

The loiter skillplanes actually cost 200. There is a similarly-named ability in the CAS commander that only strafes in a single line (and costs 110).

However, the total cost is not necessarily 460 munitions. This is dispersed between 3 people and is (thus) easily achievable (2-3, sometimes 4 times in a game, depending on your resource control). You only have to pull this off once, and you won the game. Just bait the enemy to blob their armour by presenting your Tiger(s).

This was one of my concerns about the JT. With things like skill planes assaulting a JT in a team game should be near suicidal. I often find that I wait until the last possible moment because almost anything is better than an all in gamble. If I lose the gamble as Allies the game is now over, at best I can continue to stall around 1 VP until they amass enough armor.

Annoyingly the P47's strafe is less effective and runs into more AA than the Axis version giving a much less impactful rocket barrage.

I think the title here a little strong, but I agree with the OP. The issues he raises are certainly something to consider for a balance mod.

FRP removal for all factions would be so amazing. The USF major could have an On me! ability instead.

Commando regiment should not have 4 high munitions cost abilities and commandos. At least 2 of these should be changed to something else.

Royal Engineer regiment needs love. The flame mortar is a joke, currently sits near the bottom of abilities in the game.

Royal Artillery is bad. Even with the Sexton getting a buff I see no reason to pick this doc. Occasional flares over the lines is fine, overpriced coordinated fire is marginal, Valentine is not sufficient for cost and pop (also why would I would to pay a premium for a unit designed to stay out of combat?), Sexton is currently terrible is getting less terrible in patch, and the overwatch is bugged and useless. Considering how much artillery is intended to be dropped by the player overwatch just won't be available anyway.

Of the other commanders, which are all locked behind pay walls. Most of them are ok, some are very good, all are better than the free ones. Arty cover is still very powerful and I don't understand why I would want to spend munitions on anything else once I have it. Making the forward observation point better as a result is silly. I will continue to use the arty cover instead. The forward observation point should be considerably reworked or discarded. It may even be better to remove it entirely and place the sexton or croc in the doctrine.
