Pershing ?

They could just, not. You can't really say something won't work because Relic may mess-up, otherwise we would never get anything new.

Either way, I don't want a Pershing because I like USF as a medium tank heavy army. I'd rather see some fixes to current doctrines and units, as well as maybe the jumbo.

If there's a Pershing Doctrine, I hope they have it disable Vehicle Crews and M36's.

Breakthrough Armour Company:
Battle Ready (crews may not exit their vehicles for any reason)
Assault Engineers (make up for disabled crews)
Aerial Recon (P-47 recon plane lingers over an area)
M10 Wolverine (make up for disabled M36)
T26E3 Heavy Tank (the keystone of the commander)

Why would you disable M36? Pershing shares same gun with Jackson, so I belive it should be more like Panther than IS2/Tiger is terms of AI, so nothing easier than killing it with infantry, not tanks.

What's more, we already have superior combination - IS2 + Jackson (not to mention superior combination from Axis)

I also cannot see what's wrong with crew getting out. I mean, Pershing as a heavy shouldnt be able to that, but why Shermans' crews cannot?

This Doctrine looks like it would do nothing more than punish players for choosing it. How is a straight nerf even a doctrinal ability? LMAO

Expect something more along the lines of Armored Assault (sov) doctrine. Caliope + Pershing + 3 assorted support abilities.

If a pershing commander disabled crews. there is no reason to use it.

Probably so you can't just pull your pershing back, pop the crews of your tanks out and then repair it insanely fast (don't forget insta crit repair) and send it back out.

Idk about disabling M36, I guess it's so couldn't have literally the best of everything since Tiger + Panthers is normally impossible to pull off due to the T4 costing an arm and a leg for Ostheer.

Calliope + Pershing would be a bit much.

It would give USF much better late game at the cost of early game?

A commander that disables a faction feature isn't a commander worth using. period.

Its like disabling pgren shreks with CAS, IT WOULDNT MAKE SENSE

Or how about just making the Pershing a buffed panther and not BATSHIT insane op ultra tank, so USF can keep their core mechanics?
