M7 Priest instead of M5 HT in new UKF commander?

Hello, so I had a talk with a friend of mine on Steam today and we were discussing how the UKF Commander is probably the best out of the new batch since it's not being touched at all with the most recent patches and is loved by most people that play with the Brits, including me.

But I see the M5 HT being brought up more often than anything else in the commander, so my friend said he supported the M7 Priest replacing it.

Now to me personally I'm fine with anything, however I do want to note that the commander seems to be more geared towards 1v1s and 2v2s rather than 3v3 and 4v4 team games so I think the Priest would definitely make this commander more useful in team games as well.

Basically I want to see what people think of it so I gave it it's own dedicated topic.

I also want to quote some useful Lend-Lease information taken from this thread by Planet Smasher for a mod he's working on so credits to him: https://www.coh2.org/topic/81304/lend-lease-numbers

This is just the Light and heavier vehicles but he also has numbers on small arms, support weapons, grenades and mines and Aircraft on there so definitely check it out if you're interesting in that sort of thing like me.

I however only want to note that I've only seen information regarding the M3 Stuart being delivered and used by the British and not M5 version.

Cheers and have a nice day.

Priest is a really really bad idea.

It will simply make it far better artillery regiment.

The object of the new commander should be to increase the variety of the meta not become the meta.

(That is why imo the revamps should include nerfing the commanders with the highest win rates. )

I am well aware of that altho a single unit won't overshadow an entire commander focused on one thing but anyhow, I made this topic not to argue about this but to collect opinions from other people as well to help improve the final product if possible since like I said, the M5 HT isn't liked by all.

I have tested the new Quad and it is quite strong. I would dare say it is too good for the commander.

Damn there is something u dont want to nerf ?
Anyway i really like priest idea because now this commander looks good only for 1vs1
Mortar is nice but without any kind of arty or offmap brits are hard to play in biger gamemodes.
So if 1vs1 balance is priority right ? One more unit like this will not change much.
Because people dont use priests in 1vs1 right?
And vipper will be happy because halftruck is now op.
Win win
