Doctrinal vehicles spawning system

Patch from 21.07.2015

T-34-85
We decided to take a different approach with Medium Call-ins and have them tie into the core tech tree. This change still require the player to have commander equipped with a T-34-85 Commander ability but also will now require players to build a Mechanized Armor Kampaneya to acquire the T-34-85 medium tank.
- T-34-85 is no longer a call in vehicle
- T-34-85 is now buildable in the Mechanized Armor Kampaneya
- CP changed from 9 to 0

M4A3E8 "Sherman"
Patch from 21.07.2015
We decided to take a different approach with Medium Call-ins and have them tie into the core tech tree. This change still require the player to have the Rifle Company Commander but also will now require players to unlock the Battalion Command Post to acquire the M4A3E8 "Sherman Easy Eight".
- M4A3E8 "Sherman Easy Eight" is now a buildable Tank in the Battalion Command Post
- CP requirement reduced to 0

Call-In Units
A number of units have been changed from call-ins to requiring appropriate tech to be built. This will make the following units less dominant in 1 vs 1 scenarios where the punishment for the lack of teching is not as severe. Equally, these units will now arrive to the field earlier in larger game modes, making them more accessible.

- M4A2(76)W "Sherman"
- KV-8
- KV-1
- M10
- Flammenpanzer 38(t)
- Ostwind

Armor Reserves
The addition of this ability will give the commander better late game power through the use of more powerful Shermans and ensure that obstacles cannot stall the commander's mechanized nature in the late game.
- Allows M4A3(76)W tanks to be deployed from the Battalion Command Post; same stats as the M4A2(76)W, can use - Smokescreen ability.

Heavy Tank Call-In Changes for all Factions

We felt the strategy of stalling for a heavy tank call-in without teching stagnated gameplay and was too punishing for players who did tech. In addition we felt that certain heavy tanks came too late in team games. The following changes have been made to all other heavy tanks:
Heavy tank call-ins will now require a reduced amount of CPs but require final tier tech in order to be called in. This includes: IS-2, KV-2, Command Panther, Sturmtiger, Tiger, Pershing, Churchill Crocodile and Churchill AVRE.
Call-in requirements for the heavy tank destroyers Elefant, Jagdtiger and ISU-152 remain at their old values but now also require end tier tech.
The majority of heavy tanks have had their AOE values standardized to deal more reliable damage to infantry. Additional rebalancing has also been done to a number of heavy tanks.

StuG III Ausf. E
The StuG E is being moved into tech like other call-in vehicles. In return, we have reduced the amount of CPs to compensate to encourage teching.
- CP requirement from 7 to 5
- Now requires Battlephase 2

M4A3(105) "Sherman"
Like many other call-ins, the M4A3(105) "Sherman" now requires tech to be built. In return, its CP requirements have been reduced to reward those who tech.
- Now requires Major tech
- CP requirement from 10 to 6

Command Panzer IV
The Command Panzer IV will now require either tier 3 or tier 4 in order to be called in. Additionally there will be some changes to its performance.
- CP requirement from 9 to 7; now requires either Support Armor Korps or Heavy Panzer Korps built in order to be deployed.
- Fuel cost from 125 to 100
- Aura damage reduction modifier from 0.8 to 0.9, as previously intended.

I think the best option here (except WC51 and M3 for obvoius reason) is to bring all doctrinal vehicles to the system "call-in with tech requirements", which was applied in the september patch for part of doctrinal vehicles.

Problem with tying -ALL- call-in with tech requierments is, you can't really fit certain units into correct time frame otherwise, given some factions tech structure.

Greyhound being prime example, but so is KV-8.

You'd have these units come way too early or way too late otherwise, which would lead to another spiral of buffs/nerfs/attempts to fit them in.

In other word all these vehicles built from T0 for a tech cost.

Doctrinal stuff should not be in Tiers in the first place. This idea, suddenly, appereared when Relic didn't find better solution to nerf premium mediums in 2015.

I am still for standartsization of doctrinal vehicles around CP + final tech reuirement + reharge time nerf and excluding them from the Tiers. It is more essntial to the game, since it's much closer to how it was designed in the first place for CoH and CoH 2.

Tiers are for core units, not for doctrinal stuff.
