When i play ostheer i mostly play with the mobile defense doctrine. Cap points and send in Pumas and Osttruppen early. But i feel like i want some variation, so what doctrine should i try?

Well try german mechanized doctrine and jaeger armor.
also commanders with tigers are usually pretty good too .

From the free commanders I will recommend Festung Support, Festung Armor and German Mechanized Doctrine, these commanders can make for a bunch of strong tactics

jager armor is good choice
you have a good anti tank mines(can immobilize tank) if you use half track
recon is good
scope is a power upgrade for your vehicles. try with stug KAPPA
stuka bomb for static target or bomb enemy base when they retreat
Elephant is a brutal tank killer but you must support it.

Please, plis, plz.

People Mobile Defence is a hard doctrine to use stop using it.

If you need to ask for help on the forums you don't have the in game knowledge to make it work. This is not intended as an insult but a way of helping you improve.

Try using the other doctrines suggested, you need to be really good before you can use Ostheer Mobile Defense.

It depends what your fighting against...

Vs soviets, you want a gren heavy start.
Vs USF you want an MG + grens + a sniper (if you micro is good)
Vs Brits you want grens + mortar and sniper

Commanders which are pretty decent for 1v1s are...

Spearhead (probably the best all-round commander) Giving mortar HT for early game (very good if your opponent is using alot of weapon teams), Panzer smoke, and late game tiger.

Mobile Defence, Altho using 500mp on 2 squads of Ostruppen is questionable.

Lightning War, G43's are fairly potent + Decent AT straif, Sprint for early game too and endgame Tiger.

Mechanised Assault, Assault grens (very good early game to gain map control quickly). StugE is good vs massed infantry, so use this vs conscript spammers and rifle spammers. and Tiger late game.

Elite Troops, Altho banned in tournies, this commander is fairly good because it allows you to spend your fuel on T3 tanks for the midgame, and still able to call in a vet 3 tiger in the late game.

I think you should give more info on what gametype you play what ur playstyle is etc.

This way the strategist will be able to help you out better. There is no such thing as a "best commander" it all depends on the game mode, map and opponent(s).

Dont play Ostheer right now, they are hopeless bad, save yourself the frustration and wait for the next patch. Before that any talk about strategy is really just academic.

I admit i have few experiences withe the Ace, maybe played it once or twice and never ate it in the face. But with equal ressources involved on each sides i can think of a many different answers with 800 MP (and ressources cut for the rest of the game). Can an Ace beat 800MP dedicated to AT?

The mortar and sniper nerf were needed in last patch but were excessive just a bit I think. I'm 6-1 as SU 1v1 vs Wehr since the latest patch and that's w/o using ridiculous OP partisans.
Still Ostheer can win but you can't play any worse than your opponent and likely need to play a little better to be 50/50 shot of winning.
