Pilots should be player-controlled. It is very hard to make sure they get extracted when the pilot is just roaming around while everyone else, including the guy he's following is making their escape.
German infantry should be able to carry Panzerfausts in addition to their regular Kar98k's! Quite comparable to the M72 LAW in Recon, fire once and forget.
There needs to be a way to take away skills, like for example, I just gave the wrong upgrade to a Ranger. Damn! He really needed that extra demo skill and I gave it up. There should also be a count of how many XP points you have to assign to your men. Anyway, good game! Been around since the beginning and it just keeps getting better and better.
