If truth be told, it would do no harm to have the entire value system overhauled, but I am not ready for this yet :) So far, I have limited myself to correcting the most glaring injustices, in my opinion. Namely:
1) Soviet anti-tank rifle team (6135) — 15 >>> 12 points
German anti-tank rifle team (6216) — 16 >>> 13 points
Reason: Too expensive price for two piece units without suppression fire and assault. While there should be a lot of them in an army to really make a difference on the battlefield. If you take two platoons of German anti-tank riflemen, you spend 32 points ... It’d be better to take two Pak-35s for thirty points, or two elite infantry companies.
2) Soviet 76mm regimental guns (6145) — 23 >>> 20 points
German 75mm infantry gun (6156) — 25 >>> 22 points
Reason: a light artillery battery should not cost more than a platoon of light tanks, even Pz II or T-26. So we synchronously took 3 points off the Germans and the Soviets.
3) Soviet 76mm ZiS-3 guns — 26 >>> 23 points
German 75mm PaK-40 guns — 28 >>> 25 points
Reason: I’ve written before about my misunderstanding why ZIS-3 costs only a point less than the SU-76. The same applies to PaK-40: an anti-tank battery at the price of a Pz III platoon? Oh, come on!
I reduced the cost of both guns by three points. Thus, for 81 points you can take either three self-propelled guns, or three ZIS-3 plus a machine-gun platoon. And for 84 points—three platoons of Pz III or three PaK-40 batteries plus Romanian infantry (and two more points will remain "for ice cream").
4) T-26 tank platoon — 19 >>> 21 points
Pz II tank platoon — 22 >>> 23 points
Pz 38(t) tank platoon — 25 >>> 26 points
T-34 tank platoon — 35 >>> 36 points
I added one point to each of these four tanks. This, of course, will not save the overall situation of the total underestimation of tanks in the game, but better less than nothing...
5) I-16 fighter — 22 >>> 20 points
LaGG-3 fighter — 25 >>> 23 points
Reason: There is much room for improvement of the airplanes cost system as well. But I limited myself to reducing the cost of these two comrades, that can’t attack ground targets and are not “kings of birds” in air battles. So why “pay” so much for them?
