Profile of Tiger Baron

Command Panther to Breakthrough. Strongest call-in to weakest doctrine.
Sturmtiger to Special Operations. Weakest call-in to strongest doctrine.
Jadgtiger to Elite Armored. The Panzer Commander on another tank can spot for it, and HEAT is HEAT.

Hmmm, that works as well I guess, I'll add it as a 4th option.

I mean I thought about the Jagdtiger in Elite Armor as I already mentioned, but not the rest of what you wrote.

So I just tested out the Elite Armor doctrine for the OKW and these are my thoughts:

Signal Relay I didn't use once, as others have said it's a very... situational if not underwhelming ability.

Emergency repair needs a bit more tweaking because of the low amount of health it actually repairs while I THINK still risking the tank of being abandoned if hit while repairing.

HEAT Rounds I only used once against an enemy tank but again, it's extremely situational and you're lucky if you can get 1 or 2 shots out before it ends, needs to have a bit longer of a timer maybe.

The Panzer Commander I found a bit better now so no trouble there I suppose.

The Sturmtiger I found still largely useless apart from I guess suppressing blobs, I hit an enemy (captured) StuG and it only slightly chipped it's health and stunned it, nothing more really. While it probably would be OP if it did more I find it... out of place(?) perhaps for the doctrine, plus the abandon on reload is still badly designed since I think I can just ground fire on it to force an abandon and get a new one which is abusable.

All in all as others have said, the commander is very ammunition heavy, so what I suggest is the replacement of Signal Relay (and HEAT rounds if they are not improved) with something... fuel and manpower priced I guess, like that 223 Scout/Command Car I suggested that can capture and lock down territory, I think it fits in an overall vehicle oriented doctrine.

Another idea I had was for a passive ability that grants the ability to OKW vehicles (or at least tanks) to capture territory at like, Vet 2 for instance, it would be unique with the fact that it would not require manpower, fuel or ammunition but experience will be it's price.

Panzer Tactician would also be nice to either replace Signal Relay or HEAT rounds like others suggested and I myself have noticed, it would still be an ammo based ability but you'd get more out of it in the long run compared to SR or the HEAT rounds in my opinion.

That's it for the OKW from me, I don't think I have the Overwatch doctrine in order to test it, next up are the Brits.

Edit: About the Sturmtiger, I really think that there should be an experiment with the shifting around of the OKW heavy calls in like the Command Panther, Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger to see what fits where better and what works, and of course, doesn't.

Edit2: I forgot that there is another option of putting the Tiger and StuG III G in as cheaper alternatives to the Jagdpanzer IV and KT, also having 2 manpower and fuel based things in the doctrine as well. They even have voice lines.

It's a small difference, but I was hoping for less predictable gameplay. Wouldn't it be more fun if this commander got its own specialty?

Maybe the unused recon section or observation officer? Both would fit perfect in a tactical support regiment.

Can you tell us any other UKF units that aren't in use? I've was in the UKF Alpha but you are more experienced than me with the knowledge of unused units, right now I can only remember that the AVRE had a demolition specialist squad in it at some point in development apart from the units you already said.

11cp: Sturmtiger
Changes seem fine, although I'd argue that the AVRE also deserves the same nerfs, one shot units are annoying as all hell

There's my suggestions as to remedy some of the issues the doctrine has.

How about completely replacing it instead with like either the Command Panther or Jagdtiger, but I'd rather prefer the CP.

I hear what you're saying. Two things on the general topic.

Mobile mortar (usf mortar) was something I suggested as a possibility for the new Brit doctrine. It definitely still is if people want it, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Giving Brits a normal mortar as stock is a massive change. Some people would be for it, but the ramifications would be major IMO. Similarly, any meaningful changes to the Mortar Pit, represents a significant task with major consequences.

Ultimately, this update isn't a full-on balance patch. The scope is to rework ten commanders, and improve the game through that work. We've been able to step slightly outside the confines of this scope with the Brit mine + snare, and the Puma BP2 lock, because those are glaring issues, which hopefully have low impact solutions (unlike some other items).

Hope this makes some sense!

Thank you for your answer, I was hoping that something like what happened in the USF's case during the UKF Alpha and there was a mobile mortar added by default but I guess not.

Still tho, better than us just wondering why.
