For abilities such as the Reigel AT mine, that require a specific unit not built all the time, I think the balance team has had success bundling these commander abilities. Ex: rifleman moltovs AND rifle grenades, Veteran squads applies to pios, Grens and Pgrens. Mp40s and Flamers in Fuersturm ect.
Adding an additional ability to the reigel slot might help to give it more utility for when you just don't feel getting a halftrack is the right call.

Permanently BannedStorm is my fav doctrine. It's a great doctrine for high level play. The reigel is kinda problematic since u need a HT. Agrens would be a perfect replacement but I have a feeling that will be too good. Just allow pios to lay riegels

Allowing pios to lay riegels would be too good lol. 60 Munition light vehicle deletion and tank immobilization is the kind of thing that has to be locked behind a vehicle of its own IMO. Like if M20 M6 mines were deployable by REs.

Don't think it really needs additional abilities. It's really good as is. I use it or Jaeger Armor on most of my matches when playing OST. LEFH + smoke + Stuka by itself is a great combination.

Your examples are all infantry-specific bundles. Given that the mines are limited to half-tracks, any new bundle would have to be oriented towards light vehicles. There are currently no other Ostheer commander abilities for light vehicles* so, it would have to be created from scratch. Plus, it would have to be something very good to make bundling it with the mines work.
It's probably better to just leave it as it is.
[* Except for the new Observation HT, which is a bit of a dud and may actually benefit from being bundled with the mines, IMO. I'm not advocating for it, just making an observation.]

Well, i never said the abilities would be bad. It just bothers me if abilities dont fit to the theme.
But if players want to safe the status quo in terms of abilities - and thats fine to me - can we at least rename the commander and change the description text accordingly?
No worries friend, I wasn't saying you were saying the abilities were bad, just pointing out how good they are in defense of not changing them.
I think a name change is the best direction. The whole commander has a very ambush theme with immobilization mines and camo and sprint but I got no names

Maybe Defence in depth / Elastic defense doctrine would fit.
Definition from WIKI:
Defence in depth / Elastic defense is a military strategy that seeks to delay rather than prevent the advance of an attacker, buying time and causing additional casualties by yielding space.

Making riegel deployable by 222 would also be decent addition.

222 doesn't really need even more encouragement to build.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

What encouragement? It is incredibly fragile, meaning it can’t fight allied LVs. The AEC, stuart, AA half track, and T70 can all 1v2 it.
It takes a lot of manpower to fuel to build compared to allied LVs, meaning you have less squads to cap, and it ties up your already busy pioneers, meaning they also can’t cap
Most of my ideas are probably bad, - but I try and share lots of them
and maybe some of them will be good an improve the game

is it because the 222 is significantly cheaper and comes much sooner than those perhaps? that would be my bet if i was a betting man.
any idea why the 222 eats the UC, clown car and wc51?
vehicles have windows. sorry that it cant duke it out with vehicles that come out after it.
stupid light tanks beating my armoured car... where is your balance lelic?!?!? where!?!?!?!?!?!

One might have reason to built the 222 the point is that the riegel mine ability is a bit lackluster since it requires the 251 to be deployed.

+15fuel 150mp for weapon racks = 130fuel 270mp
AA half track: 110 fuel 270mp
-20fuel 340mp(start) + 30 fuel 180mp(PCP) + 15 fuel 80?mp(Unlock) + 60fuel 280mp(AEC) = 105 fuel 200mp to get your first AEC

-20fuel 390mp(start) + 10-20fuel 180mp + 90fuel 240mp + 70 fuel 270mp = 150 - 160fuel 300mp for your first t70
+ 40 fuel 250mp for Molotovs and AT nades/15fuel 190mp scout car = 200fuel 550mp (t2) / 165 fuel 490mp (t1)

You should include for all 4 cases, what is reasonable to unlock in that time frame IMO.
All will unlock medics.
SU will probably either skip AT nade/molo in most builds or get one and in fringe case both of them.
USF will mostly surely get the ambulance. Optional weapon or nade unlock before Stuart.
UKF is most likely to get Bolster.
222 is less common nowadays when you can stall towards the Ostwind and actually kill all lights and have a reliable AI vehicle.
My controls weren't working

And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

So everyone but OKW starts with 20 fuel?
I did include the fuel cost of ambulance, but I didn’t include mp, so I’ll do that

You're saying that a doctrinal ability that takes up a full slot is too good because it's slightly better than a non-doc vehicle ability?

If you think an ability to completely immobilize vehicle and inflict massive damage to it is "slightly" better then ability to damage and allow it to retreat, then you're really hopeless.
Immobilized vehicle is dead vehicle.
You can very often crawl back from engine damage alone.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Dude, I'm comparing the riegel to the m20 mine. They're the same except the riegel takes a full doc slot. So to give riegels to pios (to make riegels slightly better than the m20 mines, due to better access) is not a crazy idea as the allied fanboy was suggesting.

Heavy tanks take up a whole slot but okw gets one without
Rocket art takes up a whole slot for usf and UKF but not for Soviet Ost or okw
Flares take a slot on usf bu comes bundled with infantry for OKW and on a couple of stock units for soviet
Booby trap point takes a slot on Soviet but okw have it on Obers without a slot.
Tank traps take a slot for Soviet but are bundled for Ost and okw but stock for usf
UKF and USF need doctrines for a half track but Ost and soviet have one stock
Doctrines bring new things to the faction. If it's not worth a slot (which immobilization mines totally are) then it needs buffed so it does but another faction having it without a doctrine doesn't mean shit....
