Replace all Designate commander vehicle by Valentine，add Recon plane to Valentine，Commander vehicle buff only work when Valentine use Observation mode，Observation mode still lock maingun.

Making a designed command vehicle will make it easier to balance the unit, in pop/damage/cost.

Actually the can be 2 version of the unit (or 3) a normal one, a command vehicle one (and artillery one) all thou I would rather move that ability to officer.

I think UKF unit use too many population，and although commander vehicle is good buff，but it debuff will make target vehicle almost only can be meat shield.And Valentine is UKF really needed unit，for most commander will make UKF stronger，also make more commander useful.

you use less pop if you use AEC as a command vehicle

this

in addition, you can convert the AEC once the lv phase is over to get a bit more usefulness out of a unit that would otherwise fall off hard in the lategame. and that is instead of having to call in yet another unit eating up valuable popcap.

you'd also lose a lot of flexibility in case, for whatever reason, you don't have an AEC at the time or, again for whatever reason want to convert any other tank into a command vehicle (you normally wouldn't unless the AEC died).

so all in all you wouldn't gain anything from the proposed change except for fancy visuals - paid for with a big net nerf for the ability itself. a change for the sake of changing and definitely not worth it in my opinion.

the AEC has a vehicle stun ability that has a large range so it becoming practically useless once converted is basically nullified, and your infantry become extremely potent because of the aura
