Disagree, one of the best and most immersive features of ths game are its diverse looks. They should go even farther:

Tanks with sandbags, tanks with scratches and bullet holes,
soldiers with or without helmets, backpacks, coats or no coats, bandaids whatsoever. There should be an editor in which you can customize the appearance of your vehicles and squads (like in rocket league)

Relic missed a BIG opportunity there and could have maintained their reputation easily. I'm pretty sure people would have paid a lot of money for stuff like that

In MP games units must be easily recognisable. This was even one of Relics design mantras for the infantry and they should follow suit with vehicles as well.

The problem is here the basic shapes are far too similar.

My only problem with Penal Troops is the assumption that criminals, deserters and other such miscreants who are assigned to varitable suicide platoons are given the best weapons available for some reason....

I’d change the name to Shock Guards, but keep the unit the same, change the name of regular Guards to Heavy Guards, and rework Penal Troops to be a doctrine specific unit that you gain via the rapid conscription ability instead of conscripts. The new Penal Troops would have two PPSh-41s and four Mosin nagant rifles with a sachel charge throw ability. And for bonus fun, they do not receive any buffs to veterancy, instead they trade one Mosin Nagsnt rifle for another PPSh per star of veterancy. That way they remain squishy and take high casualties, but can end up with 5 PPShs at vet 3. Merge ability maybe, but maybe not.
