What about wolverine ? E8 is maybe too much but if we replace dozer blades with wolverine its gonna be really good commander but not op.
Or dozer blades give u access to fosfor shell like in comet. Fosfor is excellent for urban maps.

I like your last idea!

Agreed with the KT-Tiger Ace swap. The King Tiger does not need big changes, thus it shouldn't at a lot of additional work. Furthermore, by moving the Tiger Ace to OKW the team could fix a total of three issues at once. First, it could fix the Tiger Ace generally speaking. Second, it would also help Elite Troop Doctrine a ton. Third, it would give OKW the much desired Tiger I, while at the same time fitting with the theme of Grand Offensive. I mean, who else would lead a Grand Offensive but the best of Tiger Aces?
So why not go for it?

I would say the mod team could even fix four issues at once:
The three issues you described and the TigerAce would come significantly later than all other heavy tanks, which would prohibit a new call-in Meta (Commando Panther). You just cannot wait so long for a heavy call-in.

@JB:
The better PZIV give Wehrmacht players finally the tool to deal with T-34/85 or other premium mediums. But the unit could be a little bit more distinctive thats why i suggested an additional upgrade option for the tank.

I don't mean to toot my own horn but AE and I played a couple 1v1s with the new commanders yesterday; check it out here. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/399517674

The new commanders seem fun to use; I think OKW and Ostheer are getting a greater benefit out of the commanders in terms of utility and synergy but that's just sort of my impression after playing with AE. It was definitely good fun.

Maybe AE and yourself could give some specific commander feedback, there are not a lot of players that have really tested the new commanders.

The buff come only to Assault Grenadiers that are Ostheer unit and did not even effect the Pioneers let along a unit in another faction.

I am not sure what you are arguing here since you yourself agree with me and want the ability removed from the commander.

I was sure that the changes to Wehrmacht MP40s would benefit OKW too. My bad if im wrong on that.

OKW - Grand Offensive from a design point of view.


OKW Offensive Package
The offensive Package is completely UP ability and imo simply introduced to "fix" OKW MP-40. That is a step in the wrong direction since those fixes should be done in balance patches and not commander patches.

OKW Tiger
From a design point of view imo the Tiger has no place in a commander that provides the faction with a superior mainline infatry. Super heavy tanks and superior infantry should simply not be in the same commanders.

That is especially more important in OKW that with commander can stop their tech in T1, T2 and then fight until they can call the all-around Tiger.

1. You're completly wrong about the "Offensive Packages". There was NO reason for the mod team to include the ability in the doctrine only to "improve OKW Mp40" because the MP40 buff came via the reworked Assgrens. You can find that explanation even in the patch notes!
And please dont always come back with the same mantra - "Dont include abilities /units that need a rework"-... you could at least acknowledge that there are abilities /units that fit thematically AND need a rework. Thats the reason for why i want "Offensive Package" to be replaced with a reworked "Sector Arty".

2. There was a vote- you remember- and the community decided that the new OKW doctrine should get a Tiger I. You dont have to like it but we all should respect the decision. Yes, changes are needed but you can't take away such a huge unit after the vote.
And OKW can already combine elite infantry with a, all around tank: JLI with KT, Falls with KT, Obers with KT. Yes, these units are not available from the start but there in a lot of games OKW players replace Volks with these units.
