maybe it was like that because it was balanced that way.
IVe seen and had my panzer IV command tanks used to great effect before this patch. This change was unneccessary. It should have been changed to only have an aura,sure,ill agree to that,but only in neutral territory and friendly territory,not all territory.
Now you can just blob everything around the command tank all around the map with that amazing buff,which is just...well...how do i say this...its OP.
Yes I agree it should be neutral and friendly territory and not enemy territory. But before it WAS mediocre being stuck affecting only a specific region. I don't really see how it's OP since the unit doesn't really have any teeth.
