Moving unit to HQ allow Ostheer to SKIP tier. Something that Ostheer really need if it want to remain interesting.

I think my point still stands; if you move any unit and implement some "must tech up first" to use them/ use them effectively, then the moving is pointless becuase you'd still be forced to build it anyways.

You can't really truly skip tiers as Ostheer, since you need researching Battle Phases to skip over, and the units the tier provides is useful enough to not pass over.

I also personally don't like the idea of skipping tiers, given that Relic's sorta-woulda-coulda-shoulda about it. You could skip tier as OKW which presumably was kept to keep it a faction flavour, but that's because OKW is OKW; and then they took out ability to skip T3 as Soviets. That leaves USF.

Why do you want to have Ostheer able to skip T2 anwyways? I don't think Ostheer is currently uninteresting to the point that Relic needs to poke a stick in the dungheap. I'td be madness to skip T2 at all, and removing one unit won't make it much less mad.
If they want to make Ostheer interesting, I say make new commanders...or at least fix some of the lame ones. I strongly encourage the latter before doing the former, since it is easier.

So, you would like it to arrive when its already irrelevant, just like .50 cal?
USF T0 got too much variety?

Originally none of the T0 buildings had team weapons. OKW had Rak43, but then you could just rush Volksblob, and Soviets/ Ostheer's HMG came later. Relic is obviously trying to balance a change by adding MGs to Axis T0, and now Mortar to USF.

.50cal being irrelevant by unlock, maybe that's a problem that should be fixed instead of being used as strawman? Hell I wouldn't even mind if they were swapped since everyone except Cosncriptblob doesn't start with HMGs, and probably only because lelic hasn't got around to looking into Maxim spam.

So are these changes live now, in live game or the preview mod?

UKF
Royal Artillery Antitank Regiment
1- Tank Emplacements: Royal Engineers can Hulldown vehicles, rendering them immobile but granting camouflage.
2- Field Recovery Operation
3- Observation Detachment "Valentine"
4- Antitank Detachment "Achilles": M10 with Firely's 17 Pdr. gun, faster movement speed but weaker armour; has no upgrades, but has its own "Emergency War Speed" without needing Hammer tactics, and the "Fire APCBC Ammunition" ability, similar to Pershing's HVAP ability.
5- Airburst Saturation Barrage: Off-map 25 Pdr. batteries fire Airburst shells at target area, suppressing and stunning enemy infantry and tanks when hit.

USF
Cavalry Assault Company
1- WC51
2- Fire Up!
3- M3 Halftrack with Cav Riflemen
4- Pershing

Fire Support Company
1- Assault Engineers
2- Heavy Emplacements: Fighting Positions can be upgraded for increased durability and additional slot; 81mm teams and Pack Howitzer can also garrison for both slots. Upgrading locks out the MG upgrade.
3- Direct Fire (Passive): Similar to B4's old ability, the Pack Howitzer, M36 and M8 HMC can fire a single shell directly at targets in front of them; effective against infantry and light vehicles.
4- Victor Target (Passive): Officer Squads can designate artillery targets for all artillery units within range; units firing on Victor Target will restart their cooldowns.
5- 240mm Howitzer Barrage

Ostheer ones:
Scorched Earth Doctrine
1- Tank Traps
2- Sprint
3- Boobytraps: Pioniers can boobytrap ambient buildings and flag points; when triggered units take light damage and instantly suppressed.

5- Breakthrough

Panzerjaeger Doctrine
1) Reconnaissance Training: Grenadiers and Panzergrenadiers can upgrade to detect nearby enemy vehicles beyond the fog of war.
2) Panzerbuchse AT Rifles: Grenadiers can upgrade to improve firepower against light vehicles; locks out LMG42 upgrade, but grants Tread Shot.
3) Tactical Movement
