Panzer Tactician To CP5

I think you need to be careful otherwise you're just making underutilized doctrines like mobile defence worse. So a nerf to PT is unwise.

It definitely should not be in doctrines with tigers though, the tiger is already the best heavy. Pixie dust smoke is just the icing on the cake. It's like giving the IS-2 mark target, sure mark target is balanced but giving it to an IS-2 just screws with heavy balance.

Yes some commander abilities combination should not be available. Then these abilities will be easier to balance.

But do you alse admit that Pz4 is a crutch unit, a slow smoke is kind of useless in tight situations.
If you had a T70 with a Pz Tactician like smoke OR a smoke canisters with a minor delay, how useful would each one be? Probably both are good but there is no doubt that one is much more useful than the other.

With an useful ability you could push the little T70 to unforseen situations, maybe doubling its worth. But now, if that crutch unit/moment is the only "fair" advantage you can get on a match. Is it imba? (Think twice before answer)

Dont get me wrong, pz tactician is a very good commander ability, the fact it gives smokes to 222 is also way too good.

It's mostly an issue because relic wanted DLC money but didn't want to create new content so they recycled Tigers in a third of Ostheers doctrines. Similar thing with soviets bloated commander roster and shocktroops+heavy tanks.

USF, OKW or UKF doctrines for the most part are balanced because they don't have like six combinations of the same powerful units or abilities all mixed together.

Sure USF have a Pershing, paras and skill planes but they don't get it all mixed together like ostheer or soviets do.
