I have concern about anti tank grenade. The rage was reduced from 50 to 20, meaning that kiting with German tank is even more easy now. You just keep it at medium rage and backing up all the time while upper mg will shred consqript squad into pieces.
Why not apply same changes to German Faust?
Figure, when grenadier squad gets in close proximity to soviet tank, and OH player hits the "Faust button", two seconds animation begins. If red army player perfectly reacts on time and backs up his tank, he will still get fausted, even if by the time the animation is over the tank is 70 meters away.
My point is that it is clearly said "to prevent Thor effect".... but Faust has Thor effect as well! And with such broken mechanics the total distance of Faust is 60-70!
The other concern is decreased damage of soviet barrage ability. I need to test it first, but so far it looks like a really nasty nerf to Soviets. There are a lot of soviet weapons that rely on high damage output of their barrage: PM-41, HM-38, ZiS-3, SU-76m, ML-20, B-4, and finally the Katyusha. Nerf to barrage ability makes less use of Soviet T4 and artillery. The whole concept of SU-76m was that this is a very fragile tank that dies to like two shots but it is very very lethal at far range. Now what????

I think most of these changes will not work towards late game balance, however improvements made to infantry are very appealing.
