anyone feels this commander patch changes too many things, hard to keep track and adjust my gameplay

Ironically other people think it changes too little lol.

I mean there will be a settling time after the patch is officially released where the new "meta" is adjusted so you'll get your chance then.

Defense operation give Mines and wire to section is finally some mentionable perk, but still no basic yet essential field defense structure like mg bunker and tank trap. After the long wait, seeing it like this disappointed me.


the change to Early warning look like an attempt to make a less chessy version of okw flare but by reducing cost and allow player to target it, you have make it more spamable and still being uncountable. It simply should be replace by another ability.

Change to raid section further prove that mod team still dont have a solid ideal of what they want the unit to be. If the aim is focus on mid range then they need a custom rifle profile. But instead you mixing section Enfield with an officer thompson, making the unit worse on both far and close range and call it mid range oriented. So the thompson will be transferable or not? If not, then we are having sort of usf officer clone but with non synchronized weapons and a 300mp price tags. The price increase also further push the overlap with commando as it push raid section into elite category.

Agreed on the MG bunker and tank traps altho I'm guessing they might not be doing it because of the lack of voice lines or something.

Still I believe there's enough generic voice lines to fill in the gap but whatever I guess they will remain the same as the Ost not having a FRP because "muh asymmetry" even tho it's a doctrinal ability which will not be seen every single game.

I have a question.

Why not just combine the bunkers with the Forward Supply Station instead of having pretty much 2 abilities that do the same thing?

It would be similar to the Soviet forward base where you could use it on neutrally garrisoned buildings but if you need it somewhere where there is no such building you could build a repair and medical concrete bunker which can also reinforce as well as heal units like the current defensive ability or whatever it's called.

That way the Defensive doctrine which also fits the bill for the ability would also receive the addition and there'd be less overlap with abilities that basically do the same exact thing, bring it more in line with the rest, again a prime example being the Soviet one.

A forward retreat point which you could somehow unlock would also be nice in my opinion, especially in team games since Ost still remains the only Army not to have it entirely.

Remove section cover bonus, make sections 5men regardless of Bolster and balance them around them being 5 men, give sections snares, remove sections trenches, remove sappers snare, put UC in T1, nerf the shit out of the AEC, nerf hunt, put mortar team in T1, put every UKF emplacement in Advanced emplacements doctrine, remove phosphorus rounds from Comet, put land mattress in T2 and make it a useful non cheesy unit.

Anything less than that is not acceptable. Better have a dead Brit faction than an OP Brit faction.

Instead of removing and nerfing and everything why not just instead put them behind the Hammer and Anvil sub-doctrines?

If you want more mobile gameplay, choose Hammer, if you want more static and defensive doctrine go Anvil.

Example, instead of T2 they're moved to the HQ as choices there. With the weapon racks being kept as a 3rd upgrade of course.

Hammer gives you 5 man infantry squads, grenades and snares, mortar team, AEC, Comet and the rest of the Hammer and more aggressive and mobile oriented abilities, upgrades and units.

Anvil will instead grant you access to trenches, sandbags, cover bonus and so on but your infantry is kept at 4 men instead but they're a lot tougher in a defensive position and grenades. You will also get the emplacements, Churchill and so forth. It could also maybe give medics to your HQ and FA as well? Or engineers.

Stuff like the support units such as MGs, Snipers, AT guns, the Cromwell, Crusader and Firefly are kept as is and are accessible without any sub-doc choices.

This way the original concept of the British is kept without removing anything, you're just giving people more distinct and clear routes in which they can choose to play with.

brits emplacements are overpriced, especially the forward HQ.

The brits are fine except they are too expensive

Yeah they're fine, that's why there's all of the attempts to change them.

Especially the mortar pit.
