It'd be better if they also got IR StGs and Panzerschrecks and expand squad size to six. Oh and down to 200 mp. Then it would be "stronk" and fun to use.

I mean who needs balance?

My take on the OP idea: I presume this is more about COH3 seeing as there's little to no chance for a Pacific Theatre (and for good reason).

(0) M36 Jackson Defense Package: Adds an HMG upgrade to the M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer, and also allows the Jackson to hunker down with sandbags to slowly heal over time. (The sandbags are replenished when fully repaired) (Cannot move in hunkered, but can still fire it's main gun and the HMG [if you upgraded it]) (Hunkering can be stopped if all sandbags are destroyed.)

Unlikely to be useful, given it's given to a late-tier unit, and to one that relies on speed and standoff range to be effect against anything. Not very sure what the idea is about, by the time you have Jackson you're already likely to have some sort of effective anti-infantry that's going to be much better than upgrading a TD.

(0) Infiltration Tactics: Infantry can now capture points 50% faster, and decapture enemy points 100% faster.

There's already an ability with that name, and there are also bulletins that let certain USF units capture points faster.

(1) Radio Silence: (Same as the Oberkommando Ability)

I'm personally against copying abilities from other factions. Similar abilities sure, but straight up ripoff?
Also, this ability is redundant with the Code Talkers idea you have, seeing as they both do the same thing.

(2) Deploy Code Talker: Specialized Infantry that can deploy Radios to hide your units. [Said radio works just like a beacon when handling paratroopers] Can deploy from any ambient building.

These sound just like Pathfinders. Given that their sole specialization is just deploying radios to hide units, it's better if this idea was just a passive ability/ upgrade for existing infantry. The last thing this game (and CoH3) needs is more units that do less.

(5) Infiltration Paratroopers: Paratroopers, but with the ability to upgrade for Bazookas to increase anti-tank mobility, or sacrifice some mobility in favor of the M18 Recoil-less rifle.

About the only thing remotely airborne or infiltrate about this company, and at 5CP, AND can deal with armour? Paramarines never jumped into combat either, certainly not with full assortment to deal with every conceivable enemy.
If you want airborne units, they shouldn't be able to upgrade to bazookas. Like Commandos they should have some form of passive camouflage/ stealth capability to avoid high-risk battles. Demolitions might be a useful ability as their main use would be behind-enemy-lines subterfuge rather than a super anti-everything elite infantry; even FJs have many drawbacks, least of all lack of AT firepower.

Conscript building sandbags and using arguably the most offensive-oriented and mobile HMG option in the game is, in my view, superior to MG emplacements. Sure it costs more manpower and popcap, but unlike all other factions the Soviet player a) larger squad sizes and b) Conscripts can replenish depleted squads back to their larger squad sizes.

In the end, it sounds like OP just wants his precious glorious nation of the past to operate just like Ostheer; he wants glorious mother Russia to have bunkers and PaK43. I mean you can already do that, you just play differently, it's actually easier than Ostheer since you don't need to constantly rebuild lost bunkers or risk getting more engineers to keep them alive. The tradeoff for micromanagement is that the Soviet's option can be and often is far more flexible.

The idea of MG emplacements for Soviets is a bad idea because not only does it incur manpower drain towards immobile MG option, but also munitions. OP is asking a whole can of worms just so he can play with the initial micromanagement level of Ostheer.

I wouldn't agree to a fail-safe per se, but what one poster says, giving a designated squad leader a bit more hp, would help prevent them from occurring too often. It won't help against a 240mm shell landing on top of them, but it will help against, say, a tank shell or a grenade that's close to the entire squad. And this is of course from full health- a squad with very low health isn't going to prevent a squad wipe, and thus makes medic/ healing more important to squad preservation (and hence also cut down on blobbing?)
All you need to do is take a certain amount of hp from all members of the squad and give it to one squad member so that the latter gets a tad more.
There is even a tactical angle to this: losing a squad leader means your squad is eve more susceptible o squad wiping due to the loss of a high-hp model. Any player that wants to preserve squads would pay attention to that and keep it healed and reinforced as best as practical.
There is of course the issue of balance- larger squads ought not to have similarly more durable leaders than smaller ones.

TLDR: squad wipes should exist, and it should exist due to certain damage thresholds like clumped squads having heavy artillery land on top of them; redistribute a squad's health so one "squad leader" gets a bit more to help preserve. Squad with squad leaders are less susceptible to wiping; those without leaders are more susceptible.

Damage wise? Fallschirmjaegers. But when you factor in everything else they are actually sort of the worst of the three.

Panzerfusiliers however have more utility; they are cheaper, come earlier, can upgrade to G43s for improved sight range, and can be used to recrew stuff/ meatshield your other units. For 400 manpower FJs would be a waste if you did any of the above.

Jaegers are a little of in between. They have lower DPS than Falls but higher than Panzerfusiliers, and have the auto-snipe feature that makes them deadlier in their own way. They're four-man squad byt they can also salvage like Volks, and spawn like FJs. They shine in other areas like supporting other infantry or sneaking around the map.
