Maybe, I'd say ammunition only, and only for <SUPER POWERFUL> units.

1: Make the men more intelligent, they are fucking idiots at the moment, do you honestly see 
future infantry wars being won by who has the most APCs the squish the most troops, squishing is 
stupid, they must be morons to get run over, in real life an APC is only about 3 metres across, 
could it really run over 5 trained men so easily? At least make them actively avoid squishing, at 
the moment men suck shit big time. They all die unless you click on each individual guy and go 
<click> = "hey you don't get run over"
<click> = "hey you don't get run over"
<click> = "hey you don't get run over"
<click> = "hey you don't get run over"

2:  This IMO is a big problem with C&C and there has been virtually no improvement on this since 
DUNE2, it would involve quite a lot of work for the game engine. 

Making guys actually move around defensively a fair bit while they were attacking 
eg: 
a: A tank moving parrellel to its target while bombarding it.
b: Infantry use duck and cover methods of attack(moving up from behind trees and wreckages)
c: Bikes race towards the base fire missiles, then do a spectacular slide/180 and race out of 
range and get ready for another attack.
d: HumVees Circle around stranded units, with their MG's bearing on them.

I WANT STUFF TO FEAR FOR ITS LIFE, The activity is actually shit-dull compared to what would be 
going on in real life, I mean 20 tanks don't just move up to 20 other tanks and sit there going 
<bang bang bang> shooting each other at point-blank range, their doing their best to stay alive 
and kill their enemys at the same time, in real life a tank can only take 1 maybe 2 hits from 
another tank.
This could make the whole thing more spectacular, counters towards this would be BIGGER GUNS =)

3:Also the random element would be good, say one shot one kill, with higher Res. The maps can be 
made larger and all units could have an increased range to compensate, so a tank could miss men 
virtually all the time, but if THEY DID HIT THEM <SPLAT>.
