I posted this idea a while go deep in another tread. I think however that the idea's are good and deserves there own tread.
PPSH upgrade in it's current form becomes a non doctrinal upgrade when either tier 1 or tier 2 have been unlocked for greater Conscript flexibility.
7th man upgrade becomes doctrinal.
In this case I think some of the PPSH abilities could be replaced with SVT if it fits the commander better then 7th man.
Here is how I would revamp the current PPSH commanders. I will also change some other abilities in this example for wholeness sake.
Soviet Reserve Army:
Partisan Tank Hunters 2CP
7th Man Upgrade 2CP (fits better then SVT because reserve divisions don't get the newest best equipment)
Conscript Repair Kit 5CP
For Mother Russia 6CP (ability based on will power and love for the motherland fits the theme well)
ML20 howitzer 8CP
Advanced Warfare:
Radio Intercept 0CP
T34-85 0CP
Weapons Crate Drop 1CP (Advanced semi/fully automatics fit the theme of this commander better then 7th man)
Conscript Repair Kit 5CP
IL2 Anti Tank Rocket Strafe 10CP (something to replace the garbage gun strafe without having another commander with the loiter one)
Soviet Shock Army
Weapon Crate Drop 0CP (Shock divisions where know for there high amount of automatics so this only makes sense and SVT have less overlap with Shocks compared to PPSH Cons)
120MM Mortar 2CP
Shock Troopers 2CP
B4 203MM howitzer 8CP (the ML20 and the 120MM are too similar in use and effect to warrant to both be in the same commander. The B4 is different enough to the 120MM while still being artillery and fitting the theme of the Shock Army)
.
IL2 Sturmoviks Attacks 12CP
Guards Rifle Combined Arms Tactics
KV1 0CP
Guards Rifle Infantry 2CP
7th Man Upgrade 2CP (Fits a dedicated rifle division better, also there are guards to pick up the slack)
ML20 howitzer 8CP
IL2 Sturmoviks Attacks 12CP
Conscript Support Tactics
KV1 0CP
Weapon Crate Drop 1CP (this commander has no elite infantry so more flexible mainlines seem like the better choice)
Commissar Command Squad 2CP (To support you Conscripts, fits the theme)
Conscript Repair Kit 5CP
Incendiary Artillery barrage 7CP
The best part about these changes is that they in theory would require very little fine tuneing and time investment because it's just swapping abilities around.
I'd like to see the B4 in more than just 1 commander.
Only thing i don't like is the IL-2 rocket strafe change you purpose, i'd much rather change the rocket strafe from the new commander into a regular loiter (but than the AOE one instead of a single run).
