Hey guys! I need your opinions right now. In the next week, I'll be purchasing 4-6 commanders to broaden my options in 1v1's. My question is, which commanders would you suggest? I'd like to have your opinions if you guys have the time. I'm open to different play styles so all your opinions are welcome.
If you can, post your top 3 Ostheer commanders as well as your top 3 SU commanders. It would be a big plus if you could add why you chose these commanders and how you integrate them into your play style. Replays are also welcome so by all means, post them or link them if you can. Thanks in advance!

Actually. Wait for the next CoH sale action and then buy them with 66% off or so IF you really want to spend money on them.

For soviets I recommend Conscript support tactics. This doctrine is the best doctrine if you are planning on playing hyper aggressively. You start out with 4 conscripts, molotovs, medics, AT nades if needed, another conscript squad, T2, some support weapons, and finally T3 with T34 spam. The best thing about this doctrine is the combination of the conscript upgrades with rapid conscription. By popping rapid conscription, you can continue to bolster your infantry numbers while having enough MP for tanks at the same time. I've often had games where I had 7 conscript squads running around and still have the MP for tanks and support weapons.

Make sure you will use the commanders.
I'd advise Lightning war for germans(you can not go wrong with this doctrine) and advanced warfare for soviets then it gets back to the store as these are two best general use doctrines for both factions, basically you can't go wrong with them.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

A better way to put this:
Why do you want more Commanders?
To improve your chances of winning? [Dons asbestos suit}
To give different experiences?
To give different strategies?
All of those have different answers?

Assuming you are not going for a 'walk on the wild side' with Commanders like Ostruppen, or Partisans, stay stable with basic winners like SU Rifle Frontline Tactics, Soviet Shock Army or Terror Tactics; or Mechanised Assault Doctrine; Spearhead or Close Air Support doctrine

This.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.
Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

I want more commanders because the current German ones are borefests. Forget a tiger ace, just give me a puma and some sturmtruppen and Ill be a happy camper.
By far the best doc for Sovs is Shocks,Inc barrage, kv8s and IS2s. That doc has everything you need in itself.
It is hard to choose any German docs. None , barring the forgone Tiger Ace, has any real punch. The most bang for your buck ones though are assgrens and ostruppen. Being able to call in inf, especially early, can help you ease into your more deadly tiers. The docs I would stay away from as Ostheer is the air ones. They provide you with menial anti infantry and horrible antitank capability and only really useful if you dont depend on doc abilities.

There are many:
Elite Troops
Armored Assault or Advanced Warfare are a must
Luftwaffe Support
Mechanized support (one with Assault grenadiers, etc.)
Spearhead

Spearhead for German 1v1, Joint Operations for German team games.
Advanced Warfare for Soviets (when/if it is made available in the Steam store) otherwise I like Anti-Infantry and Mechanized Support Tactics.
