Hello,

I'm 100% sure that a lot of people like new commander patch, but especially, buffs for the underpowered ostheer units like panzergrenadiers and ostwind.

Here's my suggestion, can we slightly buff the most rare and underpowered commander for the soviets?



Let's be fair, this is one of the most underpowered commanders for the soviets in the game. Without any real late game ability, nearly every other commander is better than him thanks to the tanks, elite infantry, better abilities...

Also this commander doesn't really feel like a "defensive" commander, it feels more like a commander with every type of support weapon as a call-in and nothing else.

Here's my suggestion to buff him a bit along with the ostwind, stug, and pgren buffs:

Merge PMD-6 mines and Tank Trap abilities into one, and make it 0 or 1 CP

(You need 2 CP to make tank traps and mines? No thanks)

Give new defensive-oriented ability into empty slot

I have few suggestions:



152mm Howitzer would give him some real late-game ability, furthermore, it fits into "defensive" feel of this commander.



Just tell me, what would fit more into this commander if not FHQ? Urban defense commander would be still better thanks to the kv-2, shocktroops, and booby trap ability, and giving FHQ to the defensive tactics would be very nice altenartive.



And if for some strange reason you don't think that howitzer/FHQ is a good idea for this commander, booby trap territory ability would also fit this commander nicely.

I hope you liked it, feel free to share your feedback, thanks in advance

I see absolutely no reason why the FSS can't be given the FHQ and OKW 223 treatment from the commander revamp patch a couple of months ago. Like I already mentioned, lower to number of repair pioneers down to 3 or 4, same as the number of other medics/repair units of the other Armies' similar abilities and make 1 or 2 upgrades that contains the Forward Retreat Point and Radio Relay, then just give it to the Command Post bunker and be done with it, simple as that.

As a team game player I can tell you right now that Ostheer isn't as popular as OKW due to the lack of as good Armor, that's why you see people massively going Jaeger Armor with the Elefant and Spotting Scopes or Tiger commanders, they have squishy infantry, that's why German Infantry or other doctrinal infantry commanders are also a nice pick, lack of advanced repair capabilities, something which is sort of mended by the revamped German Infantry and Defensive Doctrines and lack of Forward Retreat Point and they will be the only ones left if this doesn't go through since the Soviets now get it as well with their new Airborne commander.

Team games right now on the Axis side largely consist of only a single Ostheer/Wehrmacht player that provides the fuel caches and MG support and more often than not goes Jaeger Armor for the reasons stated above and that's about it. I've even seen all OKW teams where they just forgo Ostheer altogether and just spam PFs early game so they don't need the MG support and somebody goes Elite Armor for the 223s to lock down the fuel sectors at the very least.

I know that people will say I'm only defending it because it's "my baby" but whoever thinks that I'm lying can go ask other team game Axis people what their usual team composition is and what role does Ostheer serve.

I mean, I think we have to admit that FSS is very good idea, but it completely doesn't fit this commander since it would be insta-pick in all kind of situations.

Chat should be self explenatory

but about this game, well, I was memeing a bit but still, I'm pretty sure that throwing 4 volks flame nades at the same time will burn building down.

Also, you could destroy the corners of the building with luchs or smth.
