 I lost one of the pins on my watch's wristband, I couldn't
 think of anywhere else to put it, where I wouldn't lose it,
 and... wait, my watch is Digital, it doesn't go tic tic tic...
 it's an IronMan Black Timex I bought in 2004, and...
 Damn, where did it go now? I remember I put it someplace
 safe, where I wouldn't lose it...

 Anyhow !

I know how you feal...............God that sucks any ways thats an old watch get a new one
ANYWHO BACK TO THE TOPIC: I sugest the 2 tank thingymabob with add on infantrylabloobs to go with them so you get two t34's WITH two infantry to go nicely with them so the Germans cant just panzershrek the **** out of them without some fight

 - Watch : It still works well, just lost a wristband pin, I'll
 fix that tomorrow, if I remember to
 - As for the 2 tank call-ins, I suggested upgrades to the
 ability. As well as initial maluses to the uber SU85
 
 * Can't summon SU85 before T34/76 (Like British Firefly vs
 HQ Cromwell).
 * First SU85's get weak crew until T34/85 upgrade.
 (Which also fixes the -2 vet of T34/76's?)
 * Limit on how many SU85's (2-3 is nice)
 * Cage on T34 not SU85
 * Make the xtra range be an global? Upgrade. Perhaps
 part of the T34/85 upgrade. Increase cost of T34/85
 upgrade, reduce cost of SU85.
 
 --- Call-ins :
   Call-ins is ability which can be researched once got all
 Soviet buildings ? They are not instant. They work like an
 off-field Tank Factory (Ural Mountains?) The 'build' time is
 actually 'transport' time until they come in-game. They
 are called from the HQ and this call-in can be upgraded
 upon.
 
 Initial : Cost 900 (does not change)
 Only 1 T34/76 (does not upgrade to T34/85
 when the upgrade is paid for)
 - Improvements :
 *Double the call-ins. (Same cost)
 *Add Infantry (Svelky?) 1 Squad per Tank.
 Or better yet, tank rider squads (They got a ride!)
 * T34/85 upgrade (Only purchasable after 'normal'
 T34/85 upgrade has been bought.

 All of these upgrades are completely independant of
 other upgrades. This ability starts as being overpriced and
 emergency-only, to being cost-efficient, but the investment
 for this is somewhat steep.

 Note : The T34/85 upgrade (normal one) removes the
 conscript vet from T34/76's and SU85.

 Advantages :
 No new models needed. Easy to code. Historical.
 Comes with built-in balance. And is not overpowered at
 first.
 Can be tweaked as desired, of course.
