INFANTRY WEAPONS
Bren LMG DPS increased to that of the BAR (+30%)
LMG15 DPS incresed to that of the DP28 (+15%)
Breda30 (MG099) dps reduced by 30%. all units equipped with breda -5pts cost -> the Breda30 used a terrible feed system that made it perform poorly.

AIRCRAFT
Removed all Me410 bomber variants from Eastern front divisions, as the germans never used them as bombers in the east.
All FW-190 resillience increased to medium, avalability decreased
All IAR80/81 resillience increased to medium
All LA5FN resillience increased to medium
All A20C/A20 Mk.IV resillience increased to very good. Cost increased by 20 points
(A20 MkIII/DB7/DB73 retain medium as they did not have self sealing fuel tanks)
Baltimore bombers resilience increased to very good. Cost increased by 20 points
PZL 37 resillience increased to very good
All HE111 resilience increased to very good
All FW190 panzerblitz replaced with new Fw190 AP cluster bombers >>> panzerblitz rockets were only used in 1945 so they are way out of timeframe
All Ju87 bombers have had their attack pattern changed from the looping dive to a sloping dive. >>> The looping dive was no longer practiced in 1944. This also makes Ju87s much more likely to get their bombs off before being supressed.

This is the battlegroup's historical composition, but Ser maks did not want to make such a drastic change.
The error in the base game comes from the idea that the 2 tank regiments assigned were at full strength, while in reality, they were severely depleted. This is, however, compensated for by info showing massed air support was allocated, as well as 2 antitank brigades and assault guns being present.

Podv. Gruppa Bezuglogo - General Bezugly persuaded 39th Army command that his 5th Gvard. Strelkovy Korpus is actually a Gvardyia formation. As a result, most of Manoeuver Group infantry was promoted. Exhausted 251th Rifle Division was transferred to rear echelon, leaving only a small detachment in Korpus vanguard.

Podv. Gruppa Vyborg - rest of 1st Red Banner tank brigade has finally joined SU-76P battery. 220th Tank Brigade received some T-34/85 and got remaining light tanks back. Group Vyborg was also reinforced with company from 283rd light amphibious battalion and 1495th SPG regiment coming from Narva area with some SU-85. 260th heavy tank regiment and SU-76M regiment were reassigned elsewhere. Also, 27th Guards heavy tank regiment was replaced by 26th one(and no one noticed...).
La-7 were newest addition to Soviet arsenal, first fielded by 1st Belorussian Front during operation Bagration, with mass deployment begining at tail end of SD:2 timeframe. Neither VVS nor PVO units operating on the Karelian Isthmus had any in June 1944, yet deployed plenty of La-5.
(Vyborg) Added 1 card of Ford GPA MG (4/-/-, vet2).
(Vyborg) Added 1 card of Osnaz Komroti (3/-/-, vet2).
(Vyborg) Added 1 card of Osnaz.
(Vyborg) Added 28 Ford GPA as OSNAZ transports. AT rifle teams and MG teams can also use them as transports.

(Vyborg) Added 1 card of T-34/76.42. 1st tank brigade, aka main source of T-34/76, had T-34 both with and without kupola on photo.
(Vyborg) Added 1 card of T-34/85.44.
(Vyborg) Added 2 cards of T-60 (8/16/24, vet1).

(Vyborg) 82mm mortars are also available in Phase B now, courtesy of 1st Red Banner tank brigade.
(Vyborg) Modified SU-76M card from arty tab: availability was set to 4/-/-, veterancy pattern similar to anti-tank variant. Group Vyborg had only 4 SU-76M total (in 220th brigade, btw), and I thought that they would be more useful in artillery tab.
(Vyborg) Replaced La-7 fighters with La-5.
(Vyborg) Removed Strelki(DP), KV-1 and Churchills.
(Vyborg) Removed 45mm AT guns and SU-76M PT.

Morskaya Gruppa Bakhtina - due to increasing VVS activity, Black Sea Fleet fighters can provide some fighter cover to Akkerman landings. Also, landing order for heavy equipment and supplies throught the operation was significantly adjusted.
Konstantin Dmitrievich Denisov not only survived the war, but also left memoirs. According to those memoirs, his unit was tasked with supporting Akkerman landing operation, not providing cover to 3rd Ukrainian Front armored columns. Also, while 7th Naval Fighter Regiment was equipped with Kittihawks, since October 1943 Denisov led 11th Guards Naval Fighter Regiment, with P-39 Aircobra. Not that I can do much with it, but still...
(Bachtina) Added 4 more cards of Morskaya Pekhota.
(Bachtina) Moved ace card of P-40 fighters from 7th MC.

126-y L. Gornostrelkovy Korpus - 338th heavy SPG regiment provides a bit more support to 126 LRC now. 73rd Separate Guards Heavy tank regiment, primary source of KV in the area, received tanks well before KV-1S or KV-85 entered production. Even using Petsamo-Kirkenes offensive as a latest date for 126 LRC, Yak-3 never operated in the Northern Arctic in 1944, being sent either to Baltics, or to units advancing towards Berlin/Budapest. Reasons for adding Pe-3 are mentioned below.
(126LRC) Replaced KV-85 card with B/C-only KV-1E card.
(126LRC) Amount of ISU-152 increased from (-/-/4) to (-/4/6).
(126LRC) Added 1 more card of Morskaya Pekhota.
(126LRC) Added a card of Pe-3 with 4x100 bombs. This loadout left unused after changes in other divisions and most of surviving Pe-3 by 1944 were in USSR Northern Fleet air units, which are 126 LRC air support, so Pe-3 moved there.
(126LRC) Replaced all Yak-3 fighters by 2 cards of Yak-9 (4/7/10) and 1 card of Pe-3.
(126LRC) Replaced P-40 with 1x500 loadout by IL-2M3 with 2x250 loadout.

3-ya VDV - 27th Guards Tank Brigade, aka VDV tank support, had zero lend-lease tanks, yet could call upon 10 SU-76M. Soviet tank units supporting VDV division had some(8) T-34/85, but no lend-lease armor. 3-ya VDV had full howitzer battalion for Jassy (almost full - 11 122mm howz), so total amount was increased.
(3VDV) Added 1 A/B card each of T-34/85.44 and Mathilda II (vet1). Mathildas are from 6th Tank army units.
(3VDV) Added 1 more card of SU-76M to arty tab, 1 more card of T-34/76.42 and 1 more card of ZIS-3 AT guns.

9-ya Gvard. Kavalerii Divisiya - 9 GCD had support of 1815th light SPG regiment with SU-76 from 4th Guards Cavary Corps, so it gets a bit more SU-76M now. It deployed more Emcha tanks then an entire Cavalry Corps really had, so Emcha numbers were decreased. On the other hand, 9-ya got support from battered units of 9-y Tankovy Korpus.

44-ya Gvard. Strelkovy Divisiya - 1 GTC was reequipped with T-34/85 as much as 2nd one. 16-ya Guards tank brigade, advancing with 44-ya, had only 2-3 T-34/76. While 1GTC and 44-ya received support from 2 heavy SPG regiments (344th and 354th), only 344th Rgt had 152mm SU, while 354th one spotted ISU-122 instead.

Even with all attached units, 84th was infantry formation by design. SU-76M battalions, issued to some Guard rifle divisions, had only 13 SU per battalion, and A/B card in AT plus full card in arty tab gives 17.

184-ya Strelkovy Divisiya - 184-ya got support from 513th Flamethrower tank regiment and 253rd Engineer tank regiment during Bagration. Soviet 5th Army (184-ya parent formation) had no 280mm artillery support, only 203mm.

Division antitank artillery was changed to be more authentic.
(358RD) Added 1 card of SU-76M PT and 2 cards of ISU-152.
(358RD) Added 1 card of KV-1E, 1 card of Churchill IV (5/-/-) and 1 card of command KV-1S. Churchills are restricted to Phase A - 260th regiment had only few of them.

(358RD) Total amount of ZIS-3 AT cards increased to 4 with 3/6/9 availability. Additional ZIS-3 guns are from 71st Light Artillery brigade, supporting 97th Rifle Corps.
(358RD) ZIS-2 AT guns are no longer available in Phase A. 21st Army had a unit equipped with ZIS-2 AT guns - 46th anti-tank artillery brigade. But 46th brigade was in support of 109th Rifle Corps, quite far from 358th division (and later on was redeployed to 59th Army), so some restrictions were introduced for ZIS-2.
(358RD) P-39N Aircobra fighters got base vet1, availability decreased accordingly.
(358RD) Removed ISU-122 and ISU-122S.
Notes: while in vanilla Group Vyborg 260th regiment was represented only by KV-1S, there are photo of KV-1 identified as part of that regiment, so I gave it KV-1E and kept KV-1S as command tanks.
