The core of this Commander is the B4 203mm

I think this was changed but it used to be commonplace to molotov the b4 crews to free up that pop cap. IIRC the popcap is all in the original crew, so recrewing with conscripts freed up a lot of popcap.

The core of the counterattack commander is the "for mother Russia" ability, allowing you to use the inevitable soviet munitions float to turn your shocktroopers and penals into literal bulletproof terminators on a regular basis.

Have to disagree there. For mother Russia is amazing, but it does not offer you the potential returns that a properly used B4 can, and even the Soviets can't constantly drop 150 muni. You can use FMR all you want, that ability will never kill a medium tank or critically damage heavy. On smaller maps is very possible to kill repairing Heavies if you can spot for the B4 and tighten the scatter.

FYI

FMR costs 100 munis, not 150.

I seemed to recall that was the price, but I wasn't in a position to confirm at the time of my response. That price makes just makes the infantry heavy meta of the soviets even better.
