Wehrmacht officer is a tank.

Are you sure the Soviet major has the same crits as normal infantry? He seems to take several sniper shots to bring down usually, not one.

No, he takes 1. One of my strategy is call "Hit and run" Which means charge at the enemy by complete surprise and run before he gets a fix on you. One of my tricks for the soviets is to get a sniper, shoot the major, run away. Then hes forced to go back to the reinforce point otherwise no charge or arty, giving me a huge advantage when attacking or even defending.

 Could it be possible to make Command Squad get xp from
 surrounding troops? Like British lt, etc.
 
 As it is, it's really hard for them to get vet on their own.

 I can't - ever - get xp with my command squad :p
 In 10 games, I've managed to get vet (1 level) ONCE.
 
 Although I won most of those games, I still can't vet him.

Use him to personally flank MG crews and kill them, rather than with the blob. MG members are worth 2xp per man rather than 1. It only takes 3 MG crew members + 2 volks/pios to vet him to 1. Then his arty contributes to his xp and you should be vet 3 in no time.

Yes i agree with others in 1.23 its very hard to vet the command squad , perseverance is the key to give vet to the command squad , or you can wait to provide them with pps43 and then take grenadiers or Pg's to earn vet
