There is absolutely no reason for the soviet and USF to have the stats and role. The USF is already superior with radio net, smoke and crew.
Veterancy issues have to do with the fact that soviet version uses the very high T-34/76 vet bonuses and the penetration buff seem out of place when the unit already has HVAP shells options.

It would be eqully out of place for the 75mm Sherman to get more AOE in its main gun.

According to first commanders revamp, they are identical in all other stats. I doubt this sherman has different veterancy 2 and 3 from soviet version(untill version 1.5 of course).

Allows M4A3 76mm tanks to be deployed from the Battalion Command Post; same stats as the M4C, can use Smokescreen ability.

In summary:
1. American M4A3(76)W gets new abillity with increased penetration (HVAP).
2. American M4A3(76)W gets new veterancy 3 with exchanged reload speed for penetration.

76mm Sherman
-Veterancy Three 0.8 reload modifier replaced with +25% main gun penetration.
-Can now swap between regular ammunition and HVAP; HVAP has improved penetration and accuracy, but increases reload time by 1.6 seconds.

3. Soviet M4A2(76)W a.k.a. M4C did not get HVAP rounds.
4. It is not certain, did M4A2(76)W get new veterancy exchange like M4A3(76)W or not.

So, my questions still valid.

1. Does veterancy three modiffer spread on HVAP shells?
2. Does veterancy three got changed for M4C too?
3. Why M4C didn‘t get HVAP like his twin brother from USF?

P.S. During last rebalnce, Panthers get the same stats. So it is possible to balance one unit in two factions.

PANTHER CHANGES
Both Panthers are being standardized in reload and accuracy to improve performance; the health bonus at veterancy 2 has been shifted to the unit’s stock performance to improve its survivability against tank destroyers. Now possibly in its best spot yet.
• Wehr Panther fuel cost from 175 to 185
• Wehr far accuracy increased from 0.03 to 0.035
• HP increase from 800 to 960 (all variants)
• Front armour reduced to 260
• Veterancy 2 +160 HP bonus replaced by +10% armour bonus
• OKW Panther reload from 6.1 - 6.4 to 5.2 - 5.6
• Rear armour reduced from 110 to 90 (all variants)

Is that a mounted bar?

Yes, it is. I guess artist misunderstood the task to draw mounted browning

As for the icons, a lot of icons need fixing in the new patch, for example the Soviet FHQ, the British Air supply operation (Mortar icon instead of MG) a single Recovery Engineer unit instead of 2 as well again in Tac Support Regiment and so forth.

This list include only fixes with in-game stuff. All other fixes...well, they are wip

By the way, thank you very much! Can you provide full list of changed abillities from comming patch in addition to recovery engineers and supply operations? In case to not miss something.

Hello. As for previous patch mods, i've decided to suggest some UI fixes for upcoming patch. Due to thematic of the patch, i will suggest UI fixes for commanders.
Note: this suggestions using only stuff from gamefiles, as usual.

M-42 canister shells (Fixed)
To make it match with AP rounds it should use this ingame icon:
->

To avoid misunderstanding, Jagdtiger17 pounder's piercing abillity need to get 17-pounderJagdtiger's piercing shot icon.
->

M4A3(76) Sherman (Fixed)
His new HVAP shells using icon from 17 pounder's piercing shot M-42 canister shells.
->

Ostheer sprint
Current icon not in line with other sprint abillities in terms of design
->

WC51 and M8 mounted MG upgrade
Using incorrect icon (unlike other USF vehicles)
->

Panzergrenadiers mark target (Fixed)
->

Sturmtiger defensive grenade (Fixed)
It looks like smoke grenade, but supposed to kill infantry
->

Valentine
Due to recon abillity doesn't scan anymore, it should get new icon for it.
->

Churchill crocodile in tactical support (Fixed)
Using incorrect icon
->

Anti-tank overwatch
New icon should better conforn with late artillery assets.
->

Jager command squad (idea by SneakEye)
Currently, this unit using shield symbol from JLI. In-game files allow us to fix it.
->

Ideas below aimed on auras icons, which you see on units portrait like here


Command Panzer IV defence aura
Can use less bulky and more informative icon
->

Ostheer first strike bonus (for units, upgraded with camo from doctrine)
Same situation, current icon for bonus is bulky and non-informative.
->

Command Panther advance aura
Same as above
->

How about combining Candidate 2 and Candidate 3? Just replace truck with small tent and radios.

Sounds great! Also to tent need to add medkits and will be good!
