Urban Defence commander rework
Forward Headquaters: Replaced with Zis-6 truck. Zis-6 can reinforce units in friendly territory and heal once stationary, basically acts like USF Ambulance but with slightly more HP and armor
[Vehicle Detection/45mm AT gun] Both of these simply do not fit with theme of the commander and utterly useless and unsalvageable abilities. No commander with these abilities will ever become meta, so instead of bothering with those it would be better to replace those with actually useful units/upgrades need for CQC combat in urban areas
Vehicle detection: Replaced with T-34-85. SU as a faction has only turretless tank destroyers. Those are unusuable in urban setting, especially against PIV and Panther. Standard T-34 relies on numbers and flanking to deal with those, which is again simply impossible in tight chokes of urban maps. T-34-85 would to a certain degree would solve all those problems
45mm AT gun: Replaced with PPSh Conscript upgrade. I have no idea why URBAN defence commander does not have access to CQC weapon upgrade which is specifically made for urban maps, but this is franlky hilarious. All urban-oriented commanders of others factions either have weapon upgrades or units specifically for close combat [Firestorm,Mobile Assault,Rifle company,Jaeger Infantry] except Soviet one. This is really nobrainer upgrade that fits theme of the commander and makes infantry scale better into late game
Booby Trap: Instead of offmap-armed booby trap for 100 munitions, it would be better to make this an upgrade and merge it with Light AI mines from Defenesive tactics commander. It would allow infantry and engineers place Light AI mines and put Booby Traps on points. Booby Trap cost and damage should also be equalized with OKW booby trap. [Currentry Sov booby trap costs twice as much but outright wipes enemy units]
Incendiary Barrage: This ability is seriously inferior to Phosphrous barrage or Light Artillery barrage or similar abilities of area denial. Lots of Soviet commanders have this barrage but not a single one is meta. It should either drop actual HE shells alongside incendiary ones or cost around 100 munitions or less
Basically commander would look like this
- Zis-6 Truck
- T-34-85
- PPSh upgrade
- AI Mines/Booby Traps
- Incendiary barrage
