Horse Transports, Motorized Units and rations.
First, thank you for your mod: it is awesome and gives much more depth to the game without adding tons of new stuff. Nevertheless, I have a suggestion. I always hated how HoI series doesn't depict very well the logistics behind a division. Your mod, having rations and fuel, gave me an idea. It would be nice to add faster motorized artillery units. In addition it would be realistic to differentiate the requirements of food rations (and thus grain) between horse transports units ( basically infantry, cavalry and normal artillery) and motorized units: the last ones won't need as many food rations as the horse-drawn ones. If you have enough fuel you can have a fully motorized army, much faster and with improved bonuses over various terrains (to be added), apart maybe from mountains and jungle. On the other hand if you don't have enough fuel you can go with slower horse-drawn armies, paying attention to the huge need for grain. In this way, the huge difference between logistics of the Commonwealth and the US Army on the one hand and of the USSR and Axis powers on the other hand would be far better represented. Moreover, there would be another trade-off to take into consideration when deciding whether to use motorized or normal units. Hope to have given you food for thoughts!
