In CoH game balance is controlled by build speeds, units prices, and pop.
In eir game balance is controlled by pop.
So... to put a bigger emphasis on pop balance control we could finetune out some of thing in it by... multiplying everything by 10.
rifles and grens could then be 48 pop with 6/8 per man. no more 0 pop ghost rifleman or 2 pop lonely grenadier. (lmg and zeal do kinda warrant double pop on the guy but its only 1 unit.) We could also be able to have decimal population. when a unit is hovering between two numbers we could now make it 75 otherwise it would have been 8. the only big downside is people who can't do math good might get stuck.
volks could become 45 so they are a tiny difference in pop from rifles/grens and jeeps and bikes instead of being a huge 3 would be 25 (2.5 for you bad math people)
Is it worth the trouble?
Is it user friendly?

This was considered a long while back in the development cycle of EIR and it was deemed not worth the hassle, it would simply be too confusing to manage.
('You may now make a starting platoon containing 250 pop')

Riflemen are 5 pop despite being 6 men so one man actually doesn't cost you any pop.

Easy fix:
New Ability in RGD, that as soon as a Rifle squad is down to 1 Man the cap territory effect becomes deactivated.

The Ghost Rifleman unit is the leader unit that carries the Radio Around with M1 Carbine

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

He's useless enough to warrant costing 0 popcap, anyway  . |

He's probably going to either retreat or die scouting/fighting.

The problem I see with making everything 10x pop is the confusion it may cause.
Right now it's easy to see how much Pop you have left, and call in an appropriate unit quickly. But when I need to make a quick decision, I don't want to be stuck there subtracting 258 from 373.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.
