Well... I sure hope a 114-183mm rocket does something to a tank with only 5-14mms of armor.

You must get better bait. This one is crap. 5 seconds from first rocket till Luchs is dead.

"Now" pay2win? It was like that since I started playing.

P2win not in the sense you automatical win but you cant deny that most of the stronger commanders are indeed Premium ones. ( dont use warspoil as excuse, 400h in and 2 commander drops so far, so have fun getting the good ones through warspoil^^)

I have bought a commander when OKW was released, and on my first game with the new commander, i received another copy of it via WarSpoils. Now i have two of it..

I dont think i will ever buy a commander again :-)

This is absolutely a learn2play issue, sorry.
That is nothing to be annoyed about, but ranting about balance because of this is the wrong way to go.
It seems like you have been stomped by Allies lately. Yes, Allies are pretty strong at the moment (especially USF and Brits), but they can be beaten and the commanders you mentioned (at least the USF heavy infantry commander) is not as OP as you might thing. Rangers are really strong, yes, but the Pershing is not as good as it seems.

You don't buy an Ostwind as your first unit. To be honest, don't buy Ostwinds at all, because at the moment, a Panzer 4 is in 95% of the time definetly a better choice. Ostwind suffers against tanks and even a Soviet T70 can destroy it, if played right. The kiting (driving away in range with tanks) is an esential part of the gameplay and no balance issue. It would be way too easy hitting every tank with your Panzerfaust, wouldn't it?

Back to the commanders:
Yes there are commanders, that are better than others and mostly they are not free at the beginning. But every faction has them. And you can unlock the via war spoils. I haven't bought anything besides the game and WFA at all and still I win some games and lose some games.

I would also expect that 152mm gun would go through Tiger's or Panther's armor like knife thorugh butter but
