Easy fixes to existing OKW commanders

• You can only replace / rework 2 abilities
  
• 1 reworked ability and 1 replacement is also possible
  
  So, lets start! Get ready for a lot of text
  
  NO changes needed:
  - Fortifications doctrine, fine as it is!
  
  Only 1 fix needed:
  - Scavenge doctrine
  Only 1 reworked Ostwind away from being really good
  
  - Luftwaffe Ground Forces
  Out: Heavy fortifications
  replaced by: Weapon supply drop (PAk40, Gr34)
  This is a no brainer: Supply drops were used a lot for Falls during the war. Providing the PAK40 this commander will be a lot more attractive without further changes.
  
  - Overwatch doctrine:
  Out: leFH
  replaced by: "Mark target" / or Goliath occupying 1 commander slot again
  I would really like this ability in one of the OKW commanders and it fits to the theme. Combo of leFH + Sector Assault is too strong, makes "Fortress doc" unnecessary less attractive
  
  - Elite Armor
  Out: Sturmtiger (moved to Specops)
  Replaced by: Commando Panther
  Changes to Commando Panther:
  - tied to highest Tech building and 12 CP
  - loses "Mark target" (necessary because of the op combo of HEAT/"mark target")
  - fuel cost reduced to 200
  Moving the Commando Panther" to "Elite Armor" makes a lot of sense because the unit can now use all tank related commander slots to compensate for the heavy nerfs. Fits to the theme too.
  
  - Special operation
  out: Commando Panther
  replaced by: Sturmtiger
  Even with this big change the commander will still be really strong.
  
  2 fixes needed:
  - Breakthrough doctrine
  Reworked: Sturmofficer (should be the OKW version of the Artillery officer)
  Reworked: Sector Arty
  Combine these changes with the reworked Pfussies and the doctrine is a lot better!
  
  - Firestorm doctrine:
  Replaced: Opel Truck out, replaced by 251 HT from "German infantry"
  Reworked: Incendiary mun
  
  These 2 changes would make the doctrine better but buffs to MP40 volks and a reworked veterancy for the flamer hetzer would also be needed.

Scavenge doctrine

Firestorm doctrine
opel truck---remove area and can heal infantry like USF ambulance

Special operation
radio silence---bundle OST camouflage

Ah, yes a 50 range self spotting commando panther being able to call arti onto unsuspecting anti tank guns.
Then rush in with puma and commando panther to mop up the armor.

ST does not really fit elite armor.

It can not benefit from Heat rounds and commanders. Building it means one less unit that can benefit from it.

Commanders also provide a barrage that can do a similar job as the ST.

I would actually move it over-watch instead of Lefh.

I like the Luftwaffe suggestion. But I think you should put a bit more thought in the heavy tank reshuffle, might be a better idea to have the Jagdtiger moved to Elite Armor for example and have the ST in Breakthrough to at least comply with the themes of the commanders if nothing else.

Is this a fix? Looks like "op, nerf plz" to me at some points (lefh, com panther)...

Or Fortifications doc never ever being used since Overwatch rework?

Command Panther is Elite Armour is stronger than Command Panther in Special Operations. It gets early 221 support and HEAT Pumas.

True, thats why i would take away "mark target". But i agree that Elite Armor is probably the best commander for using Puma.
Lets assume that the Commando Panther could be used elsewhere: Which tank could replace ST? JT is no option because JT+ HEAT is op as hell.

An option that i would like:
- KT reworked and doctrinal unit again
- Available in Elite Armor (same tech requirements like before)

@SeductiveCardbordBox:
munition cost increase for "Flares" + bigger cooldown could also work
