I thought they could only get 1 extra weapon?

Doctrinal units shouldn't be straight up better replacements. That's shitty design. The Sherman and cromwell are quite alike but the Sherman is frankly better because of the reasons you mentioned. This is OK being in another faction due to faction differences but slapping it in where it would straight up replace and make a core unit obsolete is undesirable.
There is no instance in the game where a doctrinal unit is a straight up by every metric better version of the core unit for the same price. All tanks either offer something different or a different cost/performance ratio. All infantry either fills a different role or if they fill a similar role they do so with trade offs. The Sherman would be a flat out better cromwell where now the m10 offers an alternative to what some call a Brit issue, a slow, expensive TD. it's not flashy but it's a GOOD design. A Sherman would not be.

340 MP, 4 man squad that's locked at a minimum of 400 MP, 85 fuel specifically intended for pure AI, when it hits the field with upgraded MG34's (Which cost another 100MP and 60 fuel, cannot do the job it was intended to do against an AT squad.

Obers hit the field against shock troops, and cannot drop enough units against shocks who can literally walk up to Obers, under red cover, and decimate them at optimal range with the quick nade, even under green cover.

I've said it repeatedly now: Obers come way too late to do enough good to be efficient to their cost. If they came out in similar timing as Fallschirmjagers, then they can have an opportunity to vet and live up to their reputation as terminators. You'd still have to micro the heck out of them, but that timing will still force them against vetted infantry with a single BAR at the point.
