Soviets have self repair on 3 commanders too, 2 of which come with t34/85 and 1 with is2 or kv2. They have at guns and at nades on their cheapest infantry unit (maybe excluding partisans, havent played with those ones in a while, but then again, they don´t have tank call-ins).

I´m not saying u.s. can´t win without pershing, but even with it axis does have some quite effective counters available.

It all depends on how pershing is implemented, is it more anti personnel or antitank orientated. Anyhow, it will not be free and won´t come until late game, so I think it falls to the classic "they are already winning"-category if they are able to wield one together with jacksons. It´s not like oh/okw wouldn´t have any sort of at by that time.

I couldn´t care less if it didn´t make it into game, but I´d certainly buy it if it did. What is more interesting is what kind of other abilities would that commander have without making it another soviet industry/elite troops.

Personally I don't want to see any M26 Pershings, it goes against the whole faction design. It'd be like if OKW got a Commander that gave them 100% fuel income. It'd also be overpowered since the M36 exists as a stock unit, so that commander would have to disable building the M36 because the Pershing + M36 combo would be incredibly powerful.

Personally the heaviest thing I want to see for Americans is the Sherman Jumbo, which was made in much larger numbers and sometimes field converted to 76mm guns, which could make for a very formidable breakthrough tank.

I don´t get it, how would it be any different than stuff we already can have
-su85 and call-in t34/85 or is2
-isu152 and t70 or t34
-elefant and p4/panther
-jagdpanzer and panther/puma
-at gun and whatever heavy tank
-mg and mortar
-sniper and guards
-etc

Sure jackson and pershing would be tough nut to crack for axis armor but it´s not like they are invulnerable. Who knows what abilities possible future pershing or the commander will have but it sounds like shreks for the jackson and pak/stug/jp4/panther for the pershing would be a way to go.

Using combined arms should be encouraged, as opposed to just spamming one same unit over and over again. If using different units together to complement each others weaknesses is considered op, then I suppose we are better off just spamming and blobbing infantry unit x then transitioning to spamming some tank y. After that we can come here to complain about other people spamming and blobbing those units.

I´m pretty sure we will see pershing at some point. Relic would be foolish not to introduce it, considering just about everyone who plays usf would be buying that commander. Jumbo, sherman croc, calli and rangers would be nice to see too, not keeping all the eggs on the same basket of course.

Yes, no one in their right mind would trade their hard earned (?) war spoil commanders for some crappy bulletins or skins they already own. As it is now, duplicates have no value at all. There may be a small chance someone would trade his duplicate commander for that special faceplate or victory strike, but then again, what are the odds..

For the spotting scope issue, I guess they could at least fix the issue of line of sight bonus disappearing when the elefant is rotating on spot.

Might be slightly off-topic but aren´t bar and m1919 a bit too similar in their role, with the latter just being better? For the sake of discussion, what if m1919 was replaced with thompson smg upgrade, for some diversity?
