It would really help if the Enginner II squads if they could build the 7,5 cm PaK 40 and the M1897 75mm Field gun respectively, the 5cm and 57mm AT Guns they can currently build are hopelessly outmatched late game.

75mm wont make any differemce since it still cant penetrate jumbo anyway, need some real upgrade

This. Yet another reason I’m not a fan of adding the Jumbo in the first place, and then the Panther to overcorrect.
Not sure adding 75mm towed/buildable AT guns are the answer, since 75mm HE is gonna wreck infantry and 75mm AP and the like would shred all the earlier tanks. Might make engineers more necessary/op than they already are. Who knows though, we might get them when they give us the movable cannons.

Just introduce motorcycle squads to Normandy so that soldiers bearing gifts of det packs can make special deliveries deep into the grey zone.

normandy maps aren’t fit for motorbikes yet
Sure they are. Don’t need to go far, just from default spawn location to enemy grey zone

Now that you say it I wonder why these guns weren’t implemented in the first place.
I do though agree that there needs to be a proper infantry counter for heavy tanks and a working field gun would be the first thing to come to my mind. Somehow I find that detonation packs do little to nothing to a Jumbo/Panther
For me, they work on those tanks exactly the same as every other tank
It would work if, much like the MG nest, only late game Engineers could do it.
Probably still need the 88 on the Axis side to punch through a Jumbo.
Which, I also agree should never have been in Normandy.
