I will start off by stating the biggest hurdle to the logistics system is simply utter unpredictability and lack of specification. This leads to issues in my experience such as wanting more medkits and other equipment such as explosives but not able to effectively source them. I see this more as a hindrance than what I can assume is full intention.
I see a good tweak to this being adding additional logistic options for you to spend tickets on.
-Medical Pack: Giving 3-6 medkits or something similar.
-Demolition Pack: Giving 2-4 demo charges
-Grenadier Pack: Gives 3-5 random grenades from frag to smoke to cocktails.
It could be feasible to add the specification to weapon drops such as assaulted pack which drops weapons just for them. However, I think it goes against the RNG point of logistics and promotes people just pin focusing on specific squad or a powerful squad.

I also think this is a good idea. Separating things like grenades and med packs from firearms. As yeah sometimes I don’t want another mosin I want another health pack.
Though I think your numbers are far too high lol. You’d get all the health packs and grenades you’d ever need to fill the inventories of three squads of seven men in like a day. As you gotta remember the soldiers you aren’t using you can take away all their equipment and give it to the guys actually active. Think closer to 1. Not 3-6.

what about the equipment point? Heros and Generals assign every weapons, grenade, med pack some equipment point and limit the soliders how much equipment point he can carry.
In addition, I want to hold my grenade for a few seconds before throwing them out.
You can “cook” your grenade before you throw it if you manually select it first. The G key is a quick throw button.
As for equipment it doesn’t matter how much you can hold. My point was you could fill up the grenade slot and all 4 inventory slots (with a backpack) quite easily if the item drops have you as many items as outlined in the OP.
The reason I saw for making the numbers so high was that it makes up for the cost of it, you get a handful of utility items instead of a high tier rifle or SMG.
