One day I hope the Soviets get a commander that focuses on the Soviet Airforce. Soviet Paratroopers, Air Drop supplies, lots of air attacks.
Air Power Tactics
2CP- Airdrop Supplies, kind of like the old airdrop from CoH1. You will get less fuel and munitions from the other drops but you will a balance of both fuel and munitions.
3CP- Paratroop Infantry- 6 man squad paradropped into battle, tons of versatility. Can be upgraded with PPsh's, DP-28's, and for Anti-tank PTRS rifles. RGD-33 grenades for clearing out infantry and RPG-43 for anti-tank.
4CP- Recon Flight- Same as other Soviet commanders
?CP- IL-2 Sturmovik Attacks- Same ability, couldn't remember how many CP it was.
12CP- IL-2 Precision Bomb Strike- Same ability.
This would be a good commander to introduce, not many emphasize on air attack abilities and it would change up the usual shock/guard commanders.

I can see it being rather weak (depending on the specifics of "airdrop supplies"), but it seems like a fun commander.

No point, you have OKW flaks that destroy everything in the air!

In order for it be effective, it would be best against Ostheer, and Soviet stock tiering and stock tanks would need a rework...
Late game makes you need call in tanks. Otherwise, i would love Soviet paratroopers.

No doctrine without late game call-ins will work for soviets.
All of them without B-4, T34/85, IS-2 or ISU are the proof of it, some are playable, some are useless.
This one would be the gimmicky one that can be used for fun, but not competitively.

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.

my understanding is that they also did a shit job of supporting them, particularly in Finland, and many of them were effectively abandoned after being dropped.

They were the spearhead and were well equipped but took forever for them to be reached by the Soviet Army.

Would be cool, but i don't think this would be a viable commander, even in team games. It would cost a lot of muni and without something like Close Air Support's conversion ability, it would be difficult
Axis doesn't have the best AT options in the game

Could have the airdrop supply only munitions for a manpower -> munitions trade similar to close air support's fuel -> munitions conversion ability.

Yeah sure why not, adding them is fine.
But i think they would overlap with guards abit too much.
Gaurds suck right now, so perhaps we should make gaurds worthwile first.

Voted yes for the Paratroops.
I don't think the proposed commander would be that good though, since every single ability can be nullified by AA presence (and theres no shortage of that on the factions it faces, especially OKW).

heh heh, not one I'm sick of paratroopers.
thank you remembered my topic.
http://www.coh2.org/topic/12492/the-doctrine-of-the-red-army-paratroops.
but I think that 3 CP it's late.
The Soviets does have a good non doctrine infantry

Can still work without late game call-ins if doctrine will have some sort of Rocket Strafe, like USA airborn.
Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none
