Regarding ''Relief infantry'', i posted an idea a while back, that was met with a lukewarm response. But i feel like giving my idea a second chance of review:

Instead of an active ability, it would now be passive, removing the OSSTR unit as a call-in.
All existing infantry units would have 2 options of reinforcement, standard or OSSTR, quality vs quantity choice.

The core unit,(pio,mg42,gren,pzgren,mortar,pak40) be it between 25% to 75% OSSTR, would still retain its abilities (build/repair,riflenade,bundlenade,upgrades etc) but would now have OSSTR durability and rifles/damage.

example could be a pzgren that has 1 model, instead of reinforcing 34mpx3=102mp. Could also reinforce with OSSTR 16mpx3=48mp.
the Pzgren has now 1x stg44 and 3x k98's, weaker, but can still throw bundlenades and upgrade to 2x pzschrecks.

inspired by the panzer general games, and merge ability from conscripts, the purpose is if you get hammered, this could get you back on your feet, if you manage to keep your units alive, and could be devestating if you have or retake a lot of teamweapons. i think this idea sticks close to the theme of ''relief infantry''

well, tank ace michael wittmann, were a tank commander of a stug 3, before he transferred to pz4 and then to his legendary tiger 1.

was just thinking of a stug doctrine, getting a more powerful stug 3, and to add stug E in the doctrine as well

i have rushed cromwell early, vetted it, and used it in conjunction with fireflies and the ability ''Hunt'' to spot for the flies, works pretty good, saw some guy do it, and i think its great, but borderline OP

There was no AP round for russian 122mm guns till AFTER the war, still it was capable of tearing a panther open frontally.

But the IS2 lacks a distinctive role, i feel it lacks something, which i cannot put my finger on.

But it isnt worth the CP
not worth the investment
not worth the wait

For those that have played panzer general or one of its many clones, there is a function there, that when a unit is understrength, you can choose to get fresh replacements or elite replacements.
Elite replacements cost more, but you keep the experience the unit has.
Fresh replacements cost less, but you lose some of the experience the unit has beforehand.

say if there was a gren squad, 1 model left, you could choose between osttruppen reinforcement (16mp)or regular gren reinforcement (30mp). making the gren reinforce with OSSTR, is cheaper, but loses combat effectiveness, with the gren now being 25% grenadier and 75% OSSTR, and an experience penalty would be applied, either making it harder/longer to gain xp, or losing some of its current xp, ''demoting'' the unit.
but the models would look the same, and the grenadier would still have its snare,grenade and mg42 lmg upgrade option.
same can be applied to pioneers and PzGrens, with the models lost can be chosen to replace with OSSTR with K98's.

Not sure if teamweapons should be replaced in a similar fashion
