I will gladly take Fuel Drops and Repair Stations over the crippling Industry income. I would like to see the KV1 replace the KV8 in the commander though.
Well, the basic idea of the commader is going to be changed completely because of the fuel drops, you were supposed to spam as many tanks with as few inf squads as possible.
But my BO goes something like this:
2 cons
T2
Maxim and Zis
Medics
T3
T70 or su76 if you need
T4
T34 or Su85, again depening on what you need and if you're in a lead just go for T34
*At this point you should start getting rid of your cons, try to steal at guns or other teamweapons with them
KV-8
KV-2
*After this getting T34 against Elefant and JTs and Su85 if you're facing a tiger
