Anyone play without Doctrines?
Posts: 773
I'm a Brits only player so having Sim city helps more than it would say USF as standard units and with the flexibility for the Brits play style, each game is different.
I've lost a lot more than I have won recently but I think thats to do more with how this patch gave OKW a huge advantage (free tech + Cheap Tanks) and reduced a lot of the brits power, but that's another topic entirely.
So, am I the only one that does this? Have you tried it? Or do you think Docs are far too vital for victory that you think I'm insane?

Of course you can win without commanders but well not against serious players.

Recently, God knows why, I have started to play without selecting a Doc. Crazy I know but In a way I think its really helping me play better due to the massive disadvantage it can give.

Sometimes I win before I select my doctrine, but it doesn't make sense to not choose one deliberately. You're leaving options and abilities on the table, no sense not utilizing them for no reason.
Although, there is a difference between centering your strategies around one doctrine, you should always select one later in the game then earlier, as to react and predict your opponents plays(unless your going prostruppen, then by all means).

See a tiger doc? Go Rifle company, etc.
The same logic applies with Ost and UKF too, but Soviets and OKW need commanders.

I mean, if the game is in my favour, I have 2 leigs, few volks with schrecks, 2 obers with LMG and Panther, I don't need any doctrine so the choice is not what I need, but what I don't need aka "Nah, I don't need JT; I don't need Jaegers etc.." so I often end with Sturmtiger becasue ST is never a bad choice.

USF could, but for all 3 allied factions its just crippling decision and ost and okw get so much goodies out of docs, that it doesn't make sense, unless you're stomping somebody or reacting to their choice, but soviets probably have it worst here as you HAVE to go maxim spam or you'll lose quickly.
