Close Air Support Doctrine

(2) Stuka Reconnaissance Pass (35 Munitions)
(3) Supply Drop Zone (200 Manpower)
(4) Smoke Bombs (40 Munitions)
(6) Stuka JU-87D Anti-Infantriy Strafe (60 Munitions)
(12) Strategic Bombing (300 Munitions)

Do you have any other ideas?

CAS is fine as it is, altough the AT strafe is pretty mediocre.

Maybe it's fine, i don't want to push it op. I just change the 'pretty mediocre" AT strafe to Smoke Bombs and want the Heinkel 111 ingame.

In the last 300 games I have seen this commander so often, I can count that on one hand. top100 2v2, 3v3. :/

What is so mediocre about the AT-strafe it should onehitkill katyushas and stun or engine crit vehicles it is hitting it is pretty decent in my opinion just a bit ammunition heavy as it has no mp or fuel costing abilities beside the supply drop zone

The stuka smoke drop is literally a recon pass that drops smoke, so having both is a little redundant.

It would be interesting to have some sort of Fallschirmjager unit for OKH, but there's no 100% fitting voice pack for them (you can't transfer voice assets from one faction to another). The closest substitute would be the normal Jager voicelines, but then voice and the portrait does not match.

I'd also like to see Luftwaffe Field Units for building flak emplacements, but again no voice lines. I feel that a lot of EFA commanders lack unique character because there's so much overlap. There's nothing that CAS really adds in vanilla that other commanders can't do better.
