I would worry that they would end up as penals in the meta for the ostheer: look cool on paper but dont really have a purpose. If they are really good they could end up generating a new round of assgren whine, while if they are mediocre people wont bother using their commander.

I think they would need to offer something unique enough to be worth using, and so I would say jumping off from the no snow penalties (skies! snow shoes!), they could De-cap at double speed (capture at half rate). This could make them a raider that you get 1-2 of to harass the soviet map control with good micro.

My vision is:

320mp/1cp
4 man squad, 4 kar98k, 2xg43 available with that commander
smoke grenade, place det charge (like a pioneer), and camo by default
sprint? at vet1 (ski really fast damn it!) or healing kit
vet 2 = armor increase, vet 3 = dps increase
de-capture points at DOUBLE speed, capture at half speed
Ignore snow
Hold fire option, for the love of god

So basically you have a more expensive grenadier squad that can throw smoke, plant det charges like the soviet engineer, ignore snow, and camp for ambushes with camo balanced by the fact the unit 1) has no AT (hello mr t70) and 2) lacks an AI grenade.

Coming at 1cp I dont see this unit being a meta changing issue like t0 ostruppen spam or a replacement for grens, but rather a supplement as any specialist unit should be.

It could be a lot of fun running around someone's back territory and ambushing units or resources... sneaking a jaeger group around to sneak a det charge on a road during a blizzard and wait for a tank to roll by... BOOM
