Good USF commanders for 2v2

• Airborne - the P47 loiter is quite potent lategame, and the elite infantry is strong too. Also paradropping MGs/AT guns is nice.
  
• Pershing doc - I've seen this but it might not be the best on all maps, due to the abundance of german tank destroyers. But the pershing is very strong.
  
• Infantry doc (with priest) - this is a staple in 2v2 - Scotch uses it in 100% of his games. the M1919LMG is very strong on rifles, and the priest is an excellent howitzer piece. Mortar halftrack used to be amazing but now it's mediocre I'd say.
  
• Rifleman (with the easy 8) - I've seen this a little little little bit. Easy 8s are a nice generalist tank if your mate is making specialists (firefly/su85/jackson)

Based on what I've seen top10 players do, and what my partner and I do when we do 2x USF is using mostly:

• Airborne - the P47 loiter is quite potent lategame, and the elite infantry is strong too. Also paradropping MGs/AT guns is nice.
  
• Pershing doc - I've seen this but it might not be the best on all maps, due to the abundance of german tank destroyers. But the pershing is very strong.

Right now no one picks armour, and recon doctrine seems super rare too. I am reluctant to even mention Rifleman doctrine on the list above since I think it's really the first three that you see. Ever since the Calliope was nerfed a few patches ago, that commander is also pretty useless. Calliope is just an expensive and shittier version of the Katyusha.

I actually like recon support though. The paradrop is super cost efficient (325 mp for an at gun and paras, which cost 380 IIRC in airborne lol) and pathfinder arty is really good. Cluster bombs are decent too, and can be devastating if you time them right (sometimes they somehow manage to miss pretty much everything though).

The only USF doctrines worth a damn are Heavy Cav, Mechanized, Airborne, and Rifle Company in that order.

(imo) No, no, no. And if you allow to say me that again, no
Especially in 2v2.

The right order is:
Infantry doc (priest) , Airborne doc (p47 and airborne), and then either rifle company or heavy cav i would say rifle company bcs pershing is not that good in 2v2 but i also just like rifle company so i gues rifle company = heavy cav in 2v2.

Definitely leave out mechanized. Definitely NOT heavy cav on number 1 and definitely YES infantry doctrine on 1.


I don't want to be an asshole or something, but what you are saying is just NOT true
