Looking at the recent ESL statistics about which commanders were picked most, I was surprised to see "German mechanized" being in 12% of matches. What exactly makes this doctrine good over, say, Mobile defense?

Spotting scopes are great, especially on stugs or 222s. Smoke is handy. And every commander with command tank is top tier one in 1v1.

I guess spotting scopes make it appealing, but I still don't see why I'd chose it over mobile defense, since it also has smoke, command tank and the panic puma.

If you don't need panic puma though you are better off with mechanized, especially on maps like langres or crosssing. A vet 3 222 with spotting scopes pretty much disables the fog of war.

Interesting. I may have underestimated how good spotting scopes are. Thanks.

Even better, Vet2 is when they get the vision bonus.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

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.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

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
