We already know you hate that the allies are allowed team game synergy, Vipper.
Pls do not this make personal.
I am not against synergy, I am against abilities that hard to balance and create more issues that they actually solve.
Unless Relic decides to implement one solid system do balance this weapons this will always be problematic.
A systems like that would either need to have different squads pick different weapons (ober/commando...) style or specific modifiers for each squad applying to picked weapons (osttruppen style.
Else these weapon will be problematic. Take for instance Royal engineer or R.E. which will be able to punch way above their cost.
In sort, this ability serves little purpose in 1vs1 and creates a whole lot of issues in 2vs2
Stop with the hot air...
We've seen stream and we've seen how new guards perform.
They're fine and on ober level, where they trade model sniping for durability. They are and should do more DPS then regular guards, because why would you get them otherwise?
Ourside of REEEEEEEEE you haven't even argumented why or how they are supposedly op.
No that logic is simply flawed. A commander is not about a simply guards and DPS is not the only thing a unit bring to the table.
Even if one accept the logic there are 2 solutions, either Air Guards should be stronger than current Guards or current Guards should be nerfed. The later seems a far better solution since "ober level" AI in a units with AT is unnecessary.
A unit should be simply be cost efficient and designed to perform adequately vs enemy units
It seem rather early to provide useful feedback but there is an ability that is so obviously bad that need to change:
Airdrop SVT, drop-able weapons are bad and they should be removed from the game not become more available.
The mechanism offers nothing in 1vs1 and creates all sort of problems in larger modes. The weapons have to be balances for units that cap pick them up and while it actually works as uncounterable MU transfer.
Lets for instance say that in a team of 2 player A goes PPsh and Player B SVT. Now player A can have access to PPsh/SVT conscripts with performance close to Assault guards while spending only half of his munition.
This mechanism is flawed in it core and should be simply removed from the game.

Damage against non-vehicle targets from 120 to 20.
Added a delay of 2 seconds before the airstrike arrives.
My second point is that if one want to see these units used more one has to lower the cost efficiency of the M36 or to give it a specific role of Super heavy tank counter.
Easy 8 role is NOT AT specialist. Its USF equivalent of T34/85, difference is, stock sherman is actually a very good and potent unit in both AI and AT support while T34 not so much.
M36 doesn't walk on its ground and is irrelevant here.
Easy8 is not an AT specialist but it has high penetration. Actually its far penetration is close to the near penetration of the T-34/85.
So what it bring to table is similar to T-34/85, it can fight axis tanks but the difference here is the USF have little trouble vs the majority axis vehicles using the M36. Their infantry can also stand up to axis infatry once up-gunned. And there are simply better USF commander out there.
Now is M36 become specialized vs Super heavies there would be more room for these USF units.
Easy8 is a cost efficient units and does not need buffs.
