IMHO Wehr and US don't need replacement units/abilities.

What happens if your units aren't on your base?
then theyve' got the wrath of hundreds of 1500KG bombs.

didnt have time to go through the whole thread but i think i have some suggestions to make.

UK's Stuart could get the M3 Lee/Grants to replace the stuart but with more balancing required like make it more expensive since they were widely used by the british.

the m22 could replace the tetrach as it was designed and the vickers 6 ton replacing the bren gun carrier

the m8 greyhound or 57mm airdropped AT gun could get the m24 chaffee perhaps? i know the chaffee is rather overpowered tank for airbornes but it gives the US airborne doctrine a little bit more versatility as well as a proper light tank as they dont seem to get one other than staghound/greyhound

In my opinion British reward units need a bit or re-organising same as the SAS/Commando trees.

This being
-The changing of the Staghound from the C/Command Tank to the Stuart.
-And the Kangaroo from the Cromwell to the C/Command tank

This means that you have the choice of using a infantry boosting APC or a Tank enhancer and opens up the Cromwell to a different rewards unit such as the Crusader etc

i don't think that's gonna happen. it would mean big changes (having both kangaroo and cromwell at the same time...). rebalancing the vcoh factions is finished as far as i know.

Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

Exactly. They old factions will only gain new reward-units (that's the topic, btw  ;)) and balancing. Balancing is done according to a few guys over from Gamereplays.com, because they really know how CoH has to balanced in order to ensure a great gaming-experience.  :)

I've not read the thread from end to end, so apologies if someone suggested this.

The brits landed in normandy with a vehicle called the 'dingo'. This was at one stage a vehicle that found a break out point during the battle and holds some historical note in terms of normandy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_Dingo

The vehicle itself might be viable for being a reward unit replacement for the bren carrier (if the game can support that..)

The vehicle had a bren, but was know for also sometimes having a Boys AT gun or a Vickers K.

In terms of game theory, I don't think they fitted a second gun, so perhaps it should be more of a scouting vehicle that can take points in terms of CoH.

That's actually a really interesting suggestion, i can see a lot of possibility for including it.  I imagine something that can be upgraded to carry an anti-tank gun (an early game anti-tank gun is something the British desperately need) and also be given a few interesting special abilities to represent the radio set.

Sexton could be a reward-unit for Priest. But it'll never replace it.

EF is meant to be an CoH-expansion. And like former, official, expansions, it has some balance-patches included.
However, it'll not change anything except it's really needed, a thing which I can't see with lacking (goddamn) "realism".

Daimler Dingo is really a reward-unit which is worth to be added. With anti-tank-rifle upgradeable, it's also something alongside the Bren-carrier's anti-armor MG-ammunition.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_Armoured_Car
 This is the vehicle you're talking about, and mean.
 The Daimler_Dingo would be a reward unit replacement
 for the Bren Carrier. The Daimler_Armored_Car would
 either replace the StagHound (which ought to replace
 the Stuart, in my humble opinion). Or The Stuart.

 The Sexton would be a REWARDS unit replacement for
 the Priest.

 I never understood the rationale for putting Stuart
 and Priest in British Army. Sherman-Firefly, FINE. Because
 it was so popular. I'd maybe put a max cap of 4 ? Though.

 * Sherman Jumbo should Reward Replace the Crocodile.
 * Sherman 105 should lose the crunch shovel, and replace
 the Callioppe. (Reward Replace damn you)

Or the sherman Jumbo can be buffed a little to replace the pershing and give some love to the crocodile ;D.
