I know this commander can be all right but in my opinion is by far the most ineffective commander out there including the eastern front armies. I have used this commander excessively and these are my thought and I cannot find a reason to use him.

Recovery sappers 1cp: Bring extra utility to the table(salvage, smoke grenade, stock mine sweeper)only being 20mp more.

Designated command vehicle 2cp 75muni: Very large buffs to effected units but heavily nerfs the designated vehicle. Good for 3v3 and 4v4 maybe alright for 2v2 but not practical for 1v1.

Air supply operation 2cp 125mp/80muni: Mortar is nice but you will use this ability once then you will never use it again.

Churchill Croc 9cp (soon 13cp, I have played the preview): Decent unit. The proposed timing nerf however, its going to be a nearly dead unit. Infantry base heavy tanks especially the croc will be far more effected by the changes than all rounders due to the fact tanks will have a far greater presents being their weakness. Same armour as the comet and less health than the Churchill (and being slower) I do not see this as a 640mp/230fuel unit.

Forward observation post 10cp 250mp/30fuel-(100mp/10fuel forward assembly upgrade): You get a whole host of really abilities (Iv used them all,go figure for yourself). Becomes a reinforcement point and has really good range.

The problem is, it stands out like a beacon like please arty here. Munition heavy (but the ability's are good). The timing is horrific being 10 cps 2cps after heavy artillery can be fielded. Cost 250mp and 30 fuel to place on a building if one is still standing (well, it wont be for long) or 100mp and 10 fuel to upgrade a forward assembly (can be done with retreat point).

Again just become number 1 target, I believe a single stuka will kill a forward assembly. While its range is great, still dosnt save it from artillery as it still need to be close enough to be effective.

Probably one of the worse if not the worse ability in the game.

I like to include a solution but I really don't know what can be done or improved. Thoughts?

I would just return the reinforcement cost to 15mp and make it 240mp again. It literately functions as a cheap crap mg.

Those heavy tank nerfs will hit Ostheer harder than the other factions.

You can play Soviets without the IS-2, you can play USA without the Pershing (+ that one isn't even affected), but you cripple yourself as Ost if you don't get the Tiger since it replaces Tier 4 entirely.

That wouldn't be so bad if there were Tier 4 buffs impending but a mere 20 armor on the Brummbär and fiddling with the tech cost isn't going to make Ost lategame viable out of the sudden.

The lategame faction will struggle way more in the upcomign patch in the lategame.

All while Brits get (deserved) straight up buffs. Meanwhile Ost can eat shit.

P. S. does this nerf also affect the Tiger Ace or just the regular Tiger?

Considering they use the same gun profile, yes it will.

Just a little bug.

Stealth units when reinforcing who are on holdfire, the new modals won't follow the command (they fire as soon as the enemy is in range).

On top of the CP delays, at least the scatter (not accuracy) bonuses from veterancy have to be removed completely. If not from all tanks, then at least from Tiger(!), Pershing and maybe also IS-2.

This is an issue in all modes, the vet 2 or 3 scatter bonus of the heavies which is between 20% and 50% makes them completely overpowered since the last patch. During the times when Heavy tank scatter was still very inconsistent, these veterancy bonuses made sense but now where that is sorted out, it's basically "Destroy this vet 2 Tiger asap or you will lose all infantry units and lose the game" on many maps. Atm the majority of veterancy 2 shots against inf is either a forced retreat or instant wipe.


I think with the delays and some veterancy changes, heavies could be in a good state. Their vet 0 anti inf performance is already good but with vet it becomes broken.

I agree with the vet neft. The tiger should have its scatter bonus removed and have the turret rotation bonus instead like the Is2 as it becomes the worse offender in deleting infantry (accuracy can stay).

Range bonus should be removed from the is2 and tiger, why do they have this anyway? The tiger can keep it's slight advantage.

Also in regards to the aoe of the base tiger, I felt something was different between the ace and the base tiger (base tiger seemed to preform better).

It's also no secret that the okw tiger is problematic, the commander upgrade makes it even worse (I hate how it can call artillery on your at guns and infantry, also the increase accuracy makes it a true beast).
