Call in unit cap changed?

Im no expert at PE, but if I remeber, you could have 3 hummels and unlimited (well, up to pop-cap) of Falls. Now the hummell is limited at 2 and falls at 4 squads. Whats up with this?

Either relic changed this, or EF mod DID change something they didnt make (which they say they havent). I cant find ANYTHING in the relic change log that says they changed it to 2 (instead of 3), so whats up with this?

Its a bit unfair that the USSR gets 3 katushyas for 300mp each, while PE gets only 2 hummels that have almost identical range for 600mp each.

Hmm, apparently the same problems are coming up with the Airborne and rangers being limited to 3. My guess is it has something to do with the AI

Firstly. Yes, it was an AI change that limits the amount of call in units, because the AI will almost solely use call ins once they are gotten on the command tree.
Secondly, katyushas have terrible accuracy. Trust me. A hummel does much more damage then a katyusha. 2 hummels probably do more damage then 3 katyushas focus firing.

i have to say, 2 hummels or 3, makes no difference and it should be 3.
As for squads, I don`t think players should be limited when they already chose a doctrine, but AI should. Every time I play with AI PE it chooses Luftwaffe and spams Luftwaffe squads like crazy.
