I wonder what hides behind "improved fortifications"
By the way, I knew this commander looks familiar...

My guess is that its just an upgrade that increases the base defense of emplacements so that that can take an a few extra hits. I really doubt its an improved Brace.
I'm more intrigued by the counter battery and how they work with the base 25 pounders... most players barely use them so the ability to keep them on permanent counter-fire against ISGs could be rather good seeing as how OKW players will usually park them next to trucks.

Yea, the counter barrage seems like the best ability for me in this commander. Maybe it won't be deadly but at least it will force to move/retreat.

People complained about annoying emplacements in Coh1.
Reintroduce them anyway and add an invincibility-button.
People complained about annoying emplacements in Coh2 and especially about brace.
Now make it even worse by introducing improved emplacements that can be repaired and built more easily.
Are you kidding me? Do you want to destroy this game? How the fuck is it going to be enjoyable to play against someone sitting around?
That bearded dude shall hereby be known as the "Cancer Commander".

Emplacements have no fucking place in this game. It is about combined arms, mobility and flanking. Not sitting on your lazy ass.
The worst part is people complaining about that issue even in Coh1 and the total disregard of this critic. To add insult to injury emplacements get more and more annoying abilities.
Please. Give us a faction with veterancy that can be bought. It was total shit in coh1 and did not belong into the game. But that does not matter, huh?

But brace can be denied very easily...
Ok, please use your rocket science and tell what's going to be OP in this commander.

they should add some flavour to glider commandos in return.

I guess it early to say but I going to predict that both commander are going to prove problematic when it comes to balance.
Mobile assault regiment:
Advance cover combat....In other word the strongest mainline infantry will have no penalties when fighting out of cover and will be even better in cover...Sounds like trouble
Infiltration commandos:
The strongest ambush units will be able to enter the field behind enemy lines undetected...Sounds like trouble
Land mattress:
Rocket artillery at CP 5...Sounds like trouble
Advance Emplacement regiment:
Advanced assembly
spaming repair/reinforce/forward retreat points...No need at all to make Royal engineers...Sounds like trouble
Counter battery:
Able to counter enemy indirect fire at CP 4...Sounds like trouble
Then again I could be wrong...

They already have a super cool "im landing over here" ability that makes them cost an arm and a leg, what more flavour do you want?

First commander is going to counter Snipers, blow up blobs, give free cover at the cost of munis, and allow royal engineer flamer spam. Second commander looks useless besides the added emplacement bonus.

house commandos are more practical than giant glider commandos.

If they remove the need to pop out engineers to the front line to get the first mortar pit up with the second commander it means you are going to see very early mortar pits. You will get there 210mp faster without the need to wait for the engineers to build and the time saved to get to the front line to build.
I don't favour either axis or allied but might be tough to counter a mortar pit up that early in the game.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.
