British need some love as they are quite bad outside of team games.

I am not sure if you appreciate tracking. Not only it allow the SU-76 to auto spot for its barrage, it also provides mini map info so that one can barrage in the FOW.

I am not a fan of the Vet 1 abilities for Soviet/Whermacht that are copied and pasted across multiple units.

Volley Fire is the defining Skill for Rear Echelon Troops however it is kind of lacklaster and could use an improvement,however you don't want it to be like when USF first came out and it instantly surpressed squads at the start of the game.

I suggest that Volley Fire scale with veterancy.

For Example :

Vet 1 Volley Fire : +40% received accuracy, -50% accuracy
Vet 2 Volley Fire : +20% received accuracy, -35% accuracy
Vet 3 Volley Fire : +0% received accuracy, -20% accuracy

I think Rifleman are fine. The issue I feel is how expensive BAR's are. Could use a slight cost decrease.

The infatry in coh1 is an example to avoid.

Different HP and Different type of armor made the system extremely complicated.

As complicated as it was, it was far more balanced than the lazy man solution we have now in COH 2. People are always crying to have an extra man because the purpose of vet is to promote unit preservation through wise/thoughtful decisions with the retreat mechanic. At the moment due to the vast amounts of RNG in the game, losing a Vet 3 squad to a random mortar/pak howitzer/artillery shell without any chance of responding is a poor gameplay mechanic and defeats the purpose of veterancy.

Rather than apply a bandaid (5th Man for Grenadiers) to the problem, it would be better to fix the problem at its core and reduce the effectiveness of indirect fire so that Grenadiers aren't squad wiped by random RNG. This will also help out other factions as well. With British it is equally frustrating getting an Infantry Section wiped out by a random Whermact Mortar shot before you can purchase the Bolster Upgrade.Soviet Partisans might actually be used in game as well. This is not just a Whermact exclusive problem.

Company of Heroes 1 had 6 Infantry types. Rather than have such a complex system, a simpler solution with 2 Infantry Types could be used. A General Infantry type , and a weapon team infantry type. Have indirect fire do reduced damage (with higher aoe) vs General Infantry Type to make the damage more consistent and less RNG Squad Wipe Based, and the Weapon Team Infantry Type would keep the balance of indirect fire vs team weapons the same as is now.
