You're absolutely correct about the effectiveness of the Mechanized commander, I'd just like to address a few points in relation to this strat.
My guiding principle was, what is the most cost effective way for Wehr to deal with USF infantry? A pioneer is the most cost effective way to wreck a rear echelon squad early game (and can fairly easily wipe the squad). Two pioneers will defeat a rifleman with adequate cover movement. An assault grenadier deals with the issue of early buildings and can help a pioneer take out a rifleman squad... You get the idea.
Furthermore, by aggressive capping with pioneers (far from 'lacking mobility') you can straight-up outmaneuver the USF, especially if they're taking their time to pump out vetted riflemen. Plus, if the enemy is clearly blobbing for your cutoff all the time, you can build tier 1 and bring out the mgs, (though I prefer using bunkers).
I realize that Assault grenadiers are more powerful, but they're also more expensive to reinforce, don't scale to late game and are slower to pump out. They're not gonna be your frontline unit, but a flanking force that defeats small groups that engage your pioneers.
With regards to mechanized assault group.... meh. I honestly don't find myself using this too often, as it comes a bit too late (I've usually got a halftrack and a panzergren by the time it's available). StuG E's though... they're utterly brilliant.
Thanks for the comment
