Soviet FHQ might need looked at.

Why is no one mentioning the Leig. It might not kill a fhq as fast, but it will still get the job done. It will at very least draw them away from the building.
It blows utter ass against an FHQ. Trust me, I had one. Needed an ally to firebomb the building with a mortar HT to bring them down.

Urban defence became beyond useless after introduction of walking stuka, which destroys 300 mp 60fu fhq (and probably all troops around it) no matter what in first barrage. In fact, this doctrine worse than nkvd now.
Just like Tellermines and Reigel Mines are useless against USF because of critical repair.

Don't forget in some matchgame there is no Ost player which can provide motars. OKW's infantry support gun is a big big joke, they can kill 10 men during 40 mins game.
And, you guys mentioned the waste of 300 mp and 60 fuel, you hope 300 mp and 60 fuel unit works well during all the game?

List of things that a teller can 1shot kill:
-Ambulance
-M20
-Dodge
-Greyhound
-Halftrack
-MHT
-AA HT
-Stuart
-M8
-Wolverine
-Jackson
-Priest
Things that survive:
-Sherman > 140hp
-E8 > 140hp
-Bulldozer > 220hp
Reference: a pak/tank shot does 160dmg

The FHQ should be built only on owned territory. It's ridiculous that the FHQ can be set up on neutral territory. If a FHQ is set up on territory very close to Axis bases at the very early game, what can Axis do then? Axis players can only fight left more territories being captured by Ally players safely. This will result in early lost to Axis. No territories no resources, no resources no wins. Big advantage for Allies. 8 min stuka? No, stuka will hit the field at about 13-15 min cuz OKW have no fuel due to less territories. And stuka have to face atleast 3 T34/76 in 4V4 game. The game will be over at 15 min.

It's just another early game cheese strat. If you don't put it on the enemy's cutoff/fuel and successfully push them back, you might as well leave the game because relying on soviet baseline units will end in defeat every time.
The stuka one shotting buildings is retarded, forward headquarters or not. Everything else about the commander is dogshit. Nerf the FHQ to friendly territory without buffing it and/or giving it some other useful abilities, and you will never see it again.

-only buildable in owned territory
-requires (short)setup time
-can be decapped
-half its fuel cost

-can be decapped
If that would to go through, then fuel cost should be taken away completely.
Both axis factions have easily obtainable early hard counters to it, the doctrine offers NOTHING other.

Easy fix;Not all of these at the same time, surely.

I wouldn't cross fuel cost out entirely, it would make it too spammable imo.
I guess "easily obtainable" is debatable. The MHT is doctrinal if you don't have it equipped or chose another commander already it's getting difficult. The stuka still costs alot of ressources and you'll delay other vehicles.
On the other hand you can see your enemy's loadout before the match begins, so you're not totally unprepared.

If Soviet goes for FHQ, he gets no vehicles anyway, so you can calmly go to Stuka as you still have superior infantry.

Try to play Allies for the first time in your life and try to use this commander on Hurtgen Forest, Crossing in the Woods, Minsk Pocket and other similar maps and proove to us how imba FHQ is.

It's funny that none of the Axis fanboys in this thread forgets that Urban Defense is very map dependent.

Lots of things are map dependent. Try using the Flaktrack on maps other than Langres, Minsk, and Crossing for example, or snipers on Stalingrad.
If that would to go through, then fuel cost should be taken away completely.

Mortar Halftrack is a good early counter. On some maps, though, the FHQ has such a presence that it very significantly delays the stuka. For example:

I dont think its too strong but without knowing its counters its impossible to deal with, it feels a little wanky but it can win or lose games and in that it seems balanced

I dealt with one a few days ago on Ettelbruck Station. The guy had about 3 conscript squads constantly reinforcing off it and another one of his allies had SIX mortars lined up next to it wreaking complete havok on us capturing the centre or ammo VPs... I knew quickly how to deal with it, got a Stuka, lined it up so it hit all of the mortars and the building itself and boom... Insta vet 1 Stuka and Fwd HQ dead. After that it was GG, he was pushed back almost instantly and the game was over a little while later.
