Step 1: Update the Modding Tools

The mod tools have been outdated for years by now (Last update: 12 April 2020). There isn't a way to directly change things that have a "new" entry since AE doesn't see them. Instead download this New Version by Hash_Silencer Li[www.mediafire.com] to have the 2021 Balance Patch commander abilities.

Step 4: Disabled passive commander abilities or upgrades

Some passive commander abilities or upgrades are still there, clone a unit for example:
• sbps\races\german\vehicles\halftrack_squad\sdkfz_251_halftrack_squad_mp
Go to: extensions > squad_ability_ext > abilities and remove the ability:
• attributes\abilities\german\toggle_ability\radio_setup_251_correct_mp
