well russia are allies soo o.o’ cough yea o.o’ 
like it makes sense they would have US or British built vehicles if they were on the same side. o.o’
exept people don’t usually like other’s nation equipment as we can already see in normandy.
unless you buy equipment from an allied nation… as you can see happened with the M16 and M17 MGMCs … they just painted em different and gave them their own insignia.
And then you build another one… I know that the OP said they’d run out… but all you need is an engineer alive and you could probably build enough to last the match.
to balance the usefulness of the grenade and medical crates they could cost x2 the amount of building supplies to create… and they could limit them to being able to build 1 at a time like how the spawn beacons operate…
increase the amount of building supplies it will take to build something and your engineer will run out of building supplies that much sooner meaning… the engineer won’t be able to build then
also all it takes is a grenade/explosion pack to remove an engineers built ammo crate so think about the building supply losses when the enemy drops a grenade beside all 3 boxes…
that and the fact that only the engineer squad will have access to the Grenade/Medical Crates like how it works with the AT/AA cannons im suggesting they replace with the 2 crates
so no you don’t just need any engineer alive… You need an engineer from an engineers squad still alive to build one…
I like the idea of halftracks, I don’t think they’d be as vulnerable as people make them out to be. There are already vehicles in the game with similar armor. Bombs and rockets will already kill most tanks, and artillery can kill light tanks; and they seem to do alright.
I think going with lighter vehicles is better than heavy tanks and SPGs in an infantry-centric game like this.
I’m not really for changing the engineers so much. I would like to see crew served weapons as a more fleshed out version of the build-a-gun mechanic we have now
idk the idea with the engineers comes mainly because, it’s always felt strange that an engineer can pull a 20mm AA cannon and a 2 pounder AT cannon right out of their ass… like shit man Harry Houdini would be impressed with that feat…
i guess its about the same with ammo crates but its not as unbelievable as making a 2 tonne cannon out of thin air
like i guess it wouldn’t be unrealistic for the first engineers to be able to also set up a “Stand Mounted MG” without the sandbags so you still have your build-a-gun mechanic

Lend-lease was responsible for some 80% of soviet transport road vehicles in WW2. (Trucks, halftracks, cars, jeeps, etc.) So unlike Normandy, where the US used largely their own equipment, and there is at least some legitimacy to the complaints there (though I disagree with such, personally), the Soviets used mostly other nation’s equipment in such roles, so… it is historically accurate if you were to give the Soviets US made halftracks.
