My suggestions for Commander rework

2cents before the flamewar. It is only a idea first for OKW. I got also the other ones, but too much typing for one evening. So there are no changes for USF, UK, SOV or Ostheer. So don't bother talking about that.

OKW

https://picload.org/view/dldocwll/elitearmoreddoctrine.png.html]
Slightly changed Elite Armored Doctrine.

Signal Relay
- Still the same ability, maybe less pricely.

Emergency Repairs
- Decrease price and bring it in line with other repair abilities. Currently it is the worst.

Panzer Commander
- Currently a downgrade. Improve the range from the artillery, decrease price and buff the effect.
- provides sight bonus + accuracy bonus.

HEAT Rounds
- Remove Accuracy penalty. Costly timed abilitiy. If you buy it, you should get the few rounds out. Period.

And here is the greatest change
Panther Command Tank
It is all about Elite Armored Vehicles and the Panther Cmd Tank fits most in my humble opinion. Better than a Sturmtiger.

Fortifications Doctrine


https://picload.org/view/dldocwww/fortificationsdoctrine.png.html

Heavy Fortifications
- Same CP unlock as before

Field Defenses
- Volksgrenadiers can build minefields and bunkers
- Riegel Mine as dedicated AT mine and S-Mine (single ones for 20ammo each) can be layed, replacing Schu-Mine
- The Bunkers are replaced with the wooden ones from campaign

For the Fatherland
- Fits better than Firestorm Commander
- It is all about holding own territory

PAK43 Emplacement

leFH18 Artillery

Luftwaffe Ground Forces


https://picload.org/view/dldoigdl/luftwaffegroundforcesdoctrine.png.html

Fallschirmjäger
- able to upgrade scopes and bipods for FG42 giving small buff on long range

PAK43
- i would like to have the 88, but sadly this must replace it

StuKa Close Air Support
- focusing about Inf combat, it is a help against tanks and in good ol' memory of the Henschel

____________________________________________________________________

Overwatch Doctrine


https://picload.org/view/dldoigir/overwatch.png.html


Forward Receivers
- merged with Early warning

Jäger Light Recon Squad
- slightly changed, read below

Artillery Flares
- scout ability

The doctrine is about reconnaissance, and so it got the trucks, a squad, a ability and is than able to unleash hell with artillery.

____________________________________________________________________

Scavenge Doctrine


https://picload.org/view/dldoigpl/scavengedoctrine.png.html

Thorough Salvage
- no change

Jäger Volks Upgrade
- G43 vor Volksgrenadiers and sprinting

A recovery vehicle could also be possible. I miss my Bergetiger :-)

____________________________________________________________________

Spec Ops


https://picload.org/view/dldoigwl/specops.png.html
More drastical changes

Infiltration Tactics (could also be Ambush tactics)

StG44 as before

Goliath
- fitting more the Special Operations

Sturmtiger
- a place for the replaced Command Panther and kinda fitting imho

____________________________________________________________________

General changes:
+ Vehicle turrets will not recenter when decrewed/abandoned

Fallschirmjäger
+ Fallschirmjäger received accuracy and reinforcement time decreased
+ Fallschirmjäger FG42 accuracy very slightly increased

Sturmoffizier
+ Sturm Offizier death does not force surrounding squads to retreat

leFH18
+ leFH 18 artillery given proper vet 4 & 5 bonuses (by default are copies of vet 2 & 3)

Jäger Recon Squad
+ range slightly increased to perform as support unit
+ upgradeable to full G43 squad

* SS-Sturmmanns



A tiny detail update, I added an Iron Cross.

If it is around the neck, it is a Ritterkreuz.

I just would like to see the old ones optimized. Also some units maybe tweaked than.

US Paratroopers? Recoiless Rifles like in CoH1
SdKfz 250 with more armor (resistent to small arms fire and maybe MG42 facing front)
normal Leutnant Gottlieb from CoH1

http://dreadmode.willherzog.net/
Just leaving this here...

Also give the Paratroopers the Recoiless Rifles :-D

What i would like to see:
First of all - proper Matchmaking.
manuel reload from HMGs
fixing some Vet requirements
reworking some commanders

OKW:
221 back (or 223) and able to setup to work as caches.
Jäger Light Recon Vet 1 (Suppressing Volley with G43 as in CoH1)
OKW leFH 18 given proper vet 4 & 5 bonuses
le.IG direct fire, indirect fire range reduced to mortar level

Ostheer:
SdKfz250 armor improved
Assault Grenadiers (better RA)
Artillery Field Officer's Coordinated Barrage ability expanded to use available USF, OKW or British indirect-fire units

Brits:
Centaur nerfed (far to deadly) - compared to Ostwind or other 20mm

It is not all, especially Allies are missing but i am currently not home and that is what comes to my mind currently.
