Profile of Vipper

The issue start from the fact that unit are balanced at vet 0 and little attention is given to vet bonus that are simply removed without being replaced or by giving bonus that of little use.

FF is one of the most accurate units and it receives another x130 accuracy. Panther get 10% armor which is rather pointless. Stug get armor again rather pointless.

In the Case of the M36 some of basic stat should be lowered either speed or penetration or HP or accuracy and transferred to vet bonuses.

I am not sure why you are complaining since stug had its reload
nerfed too.

Actually SU-76 nerfes should include XP value and penetration (instead of reload which has minimal impact when spammed).

In addition its barrage currently is OP compared to mortars since it has kill radius of 1.5 (to 1.8 by vet2) while mortars have a kill radius of 0 and it has more range.

Strength of ability is also influenced by how common it is.
Both axis factions have this ability on multiple stock AND doctrinal units, while only 1 allied does, on a singular unit, which is also doctrinal.
Satchel charges and heavy gammon bombs are not grenades.

In that case Allied allied grenades more powerful since rifle-grenades and flame-grenades are not grenades, and USF/UKF have stock grenades on their mainline infantry while Axis do not.

In any case you statement is misinforming since you fail clarify your own personal criteria that make Axis grenade the "strongest" (and everything else as it seems in your opinion).

Never tested it, gut feeling would be a "no" (it's not like the garrison is in garrison cover), but it's not like it would be out of the question for it to actually affect it too. If I still remember I'll test it the next time I'm messing around with the mod tools.

The entire building damage system is largely a mystery to me, only thing that has always seemed consistent is that the bigger the radius of your aoe the more damage you'll do, any other modifiers seem largely meaningless in comparison.

Brit base howitzers have horrid modifiers for building_damage and very sharp aoe falloff and a 0.25 modifier against garrison but they still demolish buildings way better than other 160 damage attacks from tanks for instance thanks to the 6 radius.

That has to do with panels. Each building has a number of panels as far as I know so explosion with big aoe damage hit more panels.

I might be wrong here but I since the AOE of damage mortars has gone down houses should be able to take more hits and from the little games I played it does not seem to be the case.

Suggestions:
conscripts
Solidify them as an defensive infantry.

Remove ourah, Target size 1 (to improve merge), replace molotov with normal grenade, increase range of AT grenade.

Hit the ground their ability but it timed and not toggle. Hit the ground now scale with veterancy starting around 5% damage reduction 10% accuracy at vet 0, but scaling with vet.

Cost reduction for reinforcement with vet.

Replace PPsh package with SVT.

Penal
Solidify them as an offensive infantry.

Cost around 200-220. Now have ourah, molotovs and 3-6 PPsh (if one want some of the model not to have weapons, DPS adjusted to around pioneer levels) . Oourah now has penalty in received suppression/target size but scale with veterancy.

Other cap speed penalty, less penalty is red cover, less bonus in cover/garrison.

At vet 3 can be "redeemed" and be refitted into an elite infantry.

T1 now offer an upgrade that lower improves call-in infantry (cheaper to call-in? more accuracy? CP lower (from 3 to 2)?).

C.E.
Flamer now give them smaller TS but they have a repair penalty. Minesweepers provide a repair/build bonus and XP for placing mines and trip wire flares.

Guards
PTRS fire immediately do little damage to infantry. Their ability is replaced with "take aim" where PTRS now have increased accuracy and can now hit infantry for a limited time. Ability now scale with veterancy. Button does not require unit to continue firing on target, it stay on once used.

M-42
Solidify M-42 as counter to light vehicles. Extra accuracy and damage vs light vehicles (similar to 6 pounder, wide cone, fast reaction times vet 1 ability similar to 6 pounder.
