I think all thats really needed is to move the deployment time of the 1st truck from the start of the game to 10-30 seconds in, that way the truck will come after the initial sturmpio moves to cap.

As long as it's fat and can take a pounding I don't think any USF player would complain.

As a sometimes USF player I don't see the pershing getting used in 1v1 but in team games it can greatly help out an all USF team. I'm just gonna point out that not all commanders are meant for 1v1, some are designed for team games.

There will be no Pershing.

For now...
USF heavy tank, wait for me!

Input on the fantasy patch
These are just the things I don't agree with Cruzz's suggestion

USF:
Rear Echelon:
A better way to improve them is buff the suppressive fire to the point where a squad out of cover has a 100% chance of getting suppressed. It seems like a waste of muni to use it at the moment.

Shorten grenade throw animation:
Can't really say if shortening it makes it better. This change would indirectly weaken the molotov compared to the rest of the nades.

Add M7 light at mines to base construction selection of rear echelons:
The light AT mines are dirt cheap, attaching it to the minesweeper upgrade would prevent it from being abused early in the game.

Add toggle to M8 Howitzer Carriage to make it only fire direct shots instead of high trajectory ones:
I don't even understand how this would help with the M8.

Reduce Major artillery time to arrive by 2 seconds:
Might be better to give the major a large range to call in artillery. Fast artillary drop is never a good idea in my eyes.

Bazooka:
They just need a penetration buff. The damage buff seems a bit too much since all USF forces can equip them.

M1919 LMG:
The LMG as a whole needs a tweek not just this one. Tweeking how LMGs work would directly affect how usefull this is.

Increase maxim cost to 280mp. Increase aoe suppression value to 0.8:
Not too sure about this one. This might just induce people to spam the maxim more, although it will take longer to do.

Sniper vet1 sprint increased in cost to 25 (from 10)
10 muni seems fine to me although a 15 muni cost is still attractable. 25 is just downright expensive.

SU-76:
How would the indirect fire work? Does it perform like its barrage, because if thats the case then your basically changing how this unit performs.

T70:
Its actually pretty good as it is. 5 fuel decrease seems like a better change.

ISU152:
I don't know about 1 sec setup time. Adding the 1 sec setup time would just make it too vulnerable.

Soviet combined army/Soviet industry:
Generally I say no to changing the ability of any previously released commander


Ostheer:
Ostheer Panther stats changed to mimic those of OKW Panther (increased accuracy etc):
No. Ostheer doesn't have the handicap of getting less fuel unlike the OKW.

Brumbar:
A 10% start would be more ideal so devs can weigh in if it needs more or less scatter.

Increase Scout car armor to 11/5 (from 9/4.5):
Don't really know the penetration of infanry rifles so if they can still penetrate then yes, otherwise no. It is a car after all.

Osttruppen:
Not too sure about reducing the price more. It's already the cheapest "backbone" infantry that can be fielded.

German sniper:
A better way to fix the sniper is to give it incendiary rounds at vet0 with a 60-90 muni cost(125-200% cost than vet 1) This allows the Ostheer player the possibility to counter snipe against SU snipers but at a premium cost. The also still retain their original roles.

German infantry doctrine:
Generally I say no to changing the ability of any previously released commander


OKW:
MG34:
240 MP would be a good start

flak ht:
move no setup to vet 5

Kubelwagen:
Its already a great support weapon. Its speed and almost 0 "setup" time makes it an ideal unit to ambush enemy infantry.

Obersoldaten LMG34:
decrease damage of both LMGs to 4 or 4.5.


General:
Demolition charges detected by a minesweeper can be attacked and destroyed with small arms.
For a 90 muni cost being detectable with minesweeper just makes it impractical to use.

Remove heavy engine crit chances from all basic infantry at abilities:
No. chances are already low, so why not have that tiny chance of something awesome out of the infantry.

Reinstate plane direction controls from vcoh for plane-based offmap abilities:
Certain commanders would need to be changed then(Land lease). Its also a hassle for a lot of people especially in the middle of a fight.

Fire only on vehicles toggle for all vehicles and atgun crews.
Only TD's and AT guns need this.

Just my opinion on the matter.
