Scrap the "free" officer system.

Unlocking a building gives access to 2 units:
T1 LT/HMG building the gives access to M20/AA
T2 Cap/ATG building the Cap Gives access to Pak/Stuart
Requiring T1-T2
T3 Gives access to M8/Major the Major gives access to M10/M4
Further tech required for M36.

I have a stupid question. Why is the raketen's accuracy bugged in the first place?

There are 2 issue with RW ability to hit targets.

One is its low accuracy compared with other ATG for the same range.

Two when RW misses the projectile has a low change of colliding with enemy vehicles.

(The changes in the last patch are:
Raketenwerfer
The Raketenwerfer has been adjusted to be less potent at veterancy, but more reliable and more difficult to lockdown by HMGs.
Projectile no longer collides with terrain

Can no longer be suppressed
Veterancy 4 and 5 sight and range bonuses removed
Veterancy 1 camouflaged speed bonus from 100% to 25%)

Instead of these nerfs the unit should become unable to move while cloaked (as many other units) and be buffed (with new vet bonuses) to become more reliable.

The performance of the unit is inconstant, but it does not have to be replaced.
There are many issues with the Rakketen that should be fixed:

1) Moving when cloaked. It seems to me that in game the idea of "ambush" is twisted. Instead of laying in waiting many units can actually "hunt" while cloaked.

That ability to move when cloaked should be removed from most units (accept snipers and other recon squads) and especially for units with explosive grenades or off map arty. For some units it could become high veterancy bonus.

Unit could have vision bonus when cloaked in order to fire before it can be circle strafed.

2) One has to keep in mind that RW is a rocket launcher and not an ATG. That in game could be translated in a ATW that has lower range but is hard to circle-strafe. Changes could include lower penetration, deflection damage (like bazooka/shreck)and much higher accuracy so it becomes reliable.

3) When garrison the unit if possible the unit should behave like hand held weapon and not team weapon allowing to fire fast at all direction.

4) If possible one could go even go feather having the unit set up and then behave more like AA emplacement with 360 arc. (one can try making work more like an AT infantry than a team weapon)

5) vet bonuses should not be focused on the cloak mechanism but benefit the weapon in all situations (even when cloaked)

6)Since the crew is too bunched up it could get some resistant to ballistic (even to explosive weapons if needed). When capture by soviet it should have a crew of 4.

...
- replicate current raketen design to soviet m42 gun (Soviets have a normal AT gun that gets the job done, and m42 could finally find a niche as a gimmick gun)
...

There is no reason for such a change.
M42 AT gun should simply become a light vehicle counter.
It can get very wide arc, high accuracy, low angel scatter and low aim times so that it can hit high speed small size vehicles.

- People also hate having to fight vs raketens because stealth counters are generally absent in CoH2 ....

Since fighting vs stealth units is frustrating, why did the last patch had so many buffs to stealth units?

Good work

seem like the wer commander link is wrong.
