Why do you think that the commander need a buff?
It already provides:
superior support weapon
elite infatry
premium medium
good off map
The idea is not to create the best commander possible but to close the gaps between commanders creating more meta commanders.

How will that make it the best Commander possible. AVD is just stupid and unthematic. And a simple nade volley won't make the commander super OP. It will fit the theme of anti infantry doc compared to Guard motor anti tank/vehicle focus.

) with IL-2 Rocket Run and JU-87 AT Strafe against panthers.

So I did 16 runs (8 runs against front armor and 8 against rear armor, please don't ask me why 8, not 10
So in average JU-87 performed 7% better against rear armor and 18% better against front armor comparatively to IL-2 rocket run. I have no idea on exact delay between the abilities, but IL-2 seem to appear 1 second sooner, while plane's speeds are the same. Prices are 125 munies (IL-2) vs 110 munies (JU-87).
Screenshot of results in total damage dealt vs stationary target aimed at the center of a panther and were performed with communitytest version of the game:

What. Why is JU87d doing more damage from the front???

It's not overlapping, it's the literal point of a Shock Army. Shock Armies were characterized by mass deployment of Submachine Guns and Artillery. It's about losing the theme of the Commander.
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

What about turning B4 into a pak43 clone, with a vet 1 ability to do artillery strike. the regular shot does 320 damage and the indirect strike does 640.

I have an Idea for Soviet shock army.
Replace armor vehicle detection with off map smoke barrage.

Does Shock Army really need more strong abilties? I thought the rework has already made this like a top pick for certain modes. It's a premium medium + shocks + off map which is just an amazing set of abilities. Imo the commander is fine post rework.
