So, Relic, let's just get rid of separate crews. Give rear echelons stronger repairs and drop the whole crew system for medium tanks (we can keep it for the lights, it's cool and popping out of an M3 to counter a Puma is neato and rewarding). I think this alone, rather than screwing around with the units, or giving US a Pershing, would make the US substantially easier to play late game and have a better chance of winning.

Generally speaking: yes.

Ostheer is double penalized by it though.
Manpower: high reinforcement costs.
Squad wipes: 4 man squads really ask for being wiped.
Fuel: Most expensive teching and T3 not viable against USF.
map control: unlike every other faction OH has to invest MP into T1 building before even able to build grenadiers which leads to -1 combat unit being on field to any other faction. This amplifies when being against USF since grenadiers have to have some lucky RNG or cover in their favour as well as the USF player no being a complete troll. In Late Game USF single BAR will win 90% of all 1v1 engagement against similar vetted LMG grens not to speak of double bar'd ones - so actually capping with a lone unit is seriously not viable at all as OH.
