Thread: New Commander Submission - OKW24 Jan 2019, 21:24 PM Stormtrooper Doctrine Utilize heavy infantry and infiltration to cut off the enemy or break through enemy lines. The idea here is that the Player disregards the bland Volksgrenadiers and create a different style of play, something that not every commander features. Demo pioneers are essentially grenadiers with slightly worse stats, but with a much wider array of abilities, emphasizing on direct assaults and infiltration, like the original WW1 sturmtruppen. Since the Demo pioneers cannot be a direct replacement for to act as anti-infantry infantry, another stormtrooper squad can be called in, even as infiltration. Giving this squad access to panzerfausts allows the Player to completely phase out the Volksgrenadiers. Late game these squads have more utility and capping power. To play into assaults and infiltration, a lighter version of Crush the Pocket can be used on cut-off territories in advance of an assault. Alternatively, a JU-87 Precision Bombing Strike can be used to cut down enemy hardpoints or vehicles. After the early game, a Tiger infantry commander can be called in to guide the Player's infantry to victory. (0)Demolition Pioneers Call in a squad of stormtrooper pioneers. Unit based on Stormtroopers. Uses Ostheer Pioneers' visual. Demolition Pioneers 280 manpower 8 pop 4-man squad Armed with Kar98. Can use Booby Trap. Can use Satchel Charge (requires converted truck). Can cut wire. Can lay Razor Wire and Schu Mines. Can use Fuel Scavenge. Can be upgraded with a Minesweeper. Can be upgraded with a Panzerschreck (converted truck). Can be upgraded with 2x G43 (converted truck). Can camouflage when not firing or using an ability. Neutralizes sectors faster. Vet 1: Neutralizes sectors faster and increases resistance to suppression. Vet 2: Increases survivability and rate of fire. Vet 3: Neutralizes sectors even faster and greatly decreases munitions cost of abilities. Combat expertise also increases accuracy. Vet 4: Allows squad to move quickly when out of combat, increases rate of fire and increases squad size to 5. Vet 5: Increases survivability and accuracy and allows squad to heal when out of combat. (1)Stormtrooper Infiltration Infiltrate a target building with a stormtrooper squad. Unit based on Stormtroopers. Uses Stormtrooper visual. Stormtroopers 340 manpower 8 pop 4-man squad Armed with Kar98k Can use Stielhandgranate (converted truck). Can use Panzerfaust (converted truck). Can use Fuel Scavenge. Can be upgraded with an MG34 (two converted trucks). Neutralizes sectors faster. Vet 1: Neutralizes sectors faster and increases resistance to suppression. Vet 2: Increases survivability and rate of fire. Vet 3: Neutralizes sectors even faster and greatly decreases munitions cost of abilities. Combat expertise also increases accuracy. Vet 4: Allows squad to move quickly when out of combat, increases rate of fire and increases squad size to 5. Vet 5: Increases survivability, accuracy and allows squad to heal when out of combat. (10)Stuka Bombing Run Orders a Stuka to drop four 50kg bombs onto the target area. 200 munitions Just like the Soviet Precision Bombing Run. (12)Break the Lines Creates overwatch on cut-off sectors with accurate 105mm artillery fire, Panzerwerfer barrages and incendiary barrages. Front-line sectors have a 120mm mortar overwatch. 150 munitions Basically a light version of Crush the Pocket from Ostheer Encirclement. (14)Tiger I Infantry Command Tank Call in a Tiger I heavy tank, capable of leading allied infantry. Unit based on Tiger I, while aura ability is like the Command Panther's that only affects infantry. As it is a commander, it has reduced rate of fire. 720 manpower 280 fuel 22 pop Increases nearby infantry's sight range. Vet 1: Allows the use of Combat Blitz. Vet 2: Leadership also increases infantry's rate of fire. Tiger crew has increased accuracy. Vet 3: Leadership also increases infantry's accuracy. Tiger crew has increased rate of fire. Unlocks Crew Repair. Vet 4: Leadership also gives nearby infantry increased damage resistance (10%). Tiger crew has increased mobility and turret rotation speed. Unlocks Target Weak Point. Vet 5: Tiger crew has increased rate of fire, accuracy and range. Combat Blitz now also increases combat effectiveness of infantry; increasing damage and resistance to suppression. OKW Suggestions Volksgrenadiers Their overall performance with the StG-44 upgrade increases too much most of the time, causing long-range engagements to be the only real option. I suggest decreasing the intermediate range while also very slighly reducing accuracy at close and medium range. Jaeger Infantry The G43 sniper needs more cooldown time, but foremost aim time. Squads fighting jaeger infantry basically start the fight with one less soldier as it is killed right away. Increasing cooldown time decreases lethality in short fights. Greatly cutting down close range accuracy and increasing close range radius should also be considered to make the squad more vulnerable to close range engagements. Obersoldaten Death animation with infrared StG-44 still needs to be fixed (they go to T-pose when dead). In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Submission - WEHRMACHT24 Jan 2019, 21:17 PM Eastern Front Infantry Doctrine Utilize early-game tactics to gain the advantage and ramp up into heavy armour quickly. The idea here is that the Player uses infantry-based tactics to allow them to more quickly ramp up to either medium tanks or the heavy tanks. Ostheer has a harder time versus light vehicles and the PaK 40 is the only effective anti-tank solution, which is built at a tech structure. The Panzerbuchse should allow infantry units to fend off light armour, such as T70 light tanks or AECs. If squads equipped with PzB-39s are not enough, a Raketenwerfer can be called in to aid in anti-tank ambush attacks, while Sturmschutzen and Infiltration Grenades are effective versus infantry. After gaining the advantage, limitless Tiger I heavy tanks can be called in to finish the enemy. Having access to anti-tank weapons and elite infantry from commander abilities creates an opportunity to skip Light Mechanized Command, allowing for a faster Tiger tank or other vehicles. (0)Schwerer Panzer Abteilung Allows unlimited construction of the Tiger I heavy tank at the Heavy Panzer Korps. The Tiger costs 210 fuel and 620 manpower. (1)PzB-39 Pioneers, Grenadiers, Panzergrenadiers and Sturmschutzen can be upgraded with two Panzerbuchse-39s, effective versus light armour. Cannot be combined with other weapon upgrades. Costs 50 munitions per squad. (1)Sturmschutzen Call in heavy infantry. This unit is effective at frontal assaults. Based on Grenadiers. Uses Obersoldaten visual. 300 manpower 4-man squad Has 1.5 armour (gives a 33% chance to negate damage dealt by most small arms) Armed with Kar98 (grenadier). Can use Stun Grenade (requires phase 1). Can use Panzerfaust (requires tier 1 or tier 2). Can use Sprint. Can use Med Kits (requires vet 1). Can use Sneak (requires vet 2). Can build bunkers. Can be upgraded with 3x G43 for 60 munitions. Should also be able to receive 4x StG-44, see below I don't know why exactly, but the StG-44 can't become visible for the model (possible conflict with infrared StG-44?) so I couldn't get a 4x StG-44 upgrade to work properly. This weapon would work well with Sneak, Stun Grenades, their increased durability (1.5 armour) and the possibility to skip light mechanized command with this commander rules out Panzergrenadiers, which means that the Player will not have access to close range effectiveness. There really are no alternate models for this unit that work as well as honour_guard. (3)Raketenwerfer 43 Call in a Raketenwerfer 43. 300 manpower Same as Oberkommando unit. (3)Infiltration Tactics Allows Grenadiers, Panzergrenadiers and Sturmschutzen to use Grenade Infiltration, a low-cost grenade assault on a long cooldown. Same as Oberkommando Scavenge/Special Operations. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Submission - SOVIETS24 Jan 2019, 21:10 PM Kursk Doctrine Utilize infantry tactics and heavy artillery to hold out against the enemy and wait for reinforcements. (2)Conscript PTRS-41 Allows Conscripts to be upgraded with 3x PTRS-41, Vehicle Detection, camouflage and anti-tank grenade assault. Same as Tank Hunter commander. (2)Shock Rifle Troops This unit is basically a durable rifle squad. The Soviets currently have Conscripts or Penal Battalions as options for rifle infantry, although Guard Rifles fill in as well. Shock Rifles should rival the Guard Rifles in overall use and have a different theme. While Guard Rifles provide direct combat enhancement, Shock Rifles should have a support role. 360 manpower 6-man squad Armed with SVT-40 (penal battalion) 1.5 armour Can use RGD-33 Frag Grenade. Can use AT Grenade (requires AT Grenade upgrade). Can use Oorah! Can use Suppressive Fire (requires veteran 1). Can use Vehicle Detection(requires veteran 2). Vet 1: Unlocks Suppressive Fire ability and decreases cooldown of grenade abilities. Vet 2: Increases rate of fire and survivability. Also unlocks Vehicle Detection ability. Vet 3: Increases accuracy and rate of fire. (8)B4 203mm Allows Combat Engineers to place B4 203mm howitzers. Same as Counterattack commander. (8)Frontline Vehicle Flares Fires flares over all enemy vehicles in frontline sectors, revealing them briefly. 100 munitions (14)Finally Reinforcements! Call in a T34/85 and a veteran Shock Trooper squad. If pop cap is below 55 after these units are called in, another T34/85 is called in. 500 manpower 150 fuel 50 munitions 22 pop Soviet Suggestions T34/76 What about that phantom co-axial machine gun; it spews bullets out of its main cannon? Guard Rifle Troops Guard Rifles are basically not really commander units (9/10 times a Guard Rifle commander is chosen) and are just too good. They can be effective versus infantry and tanks at the same time, something no other infantry unit can really do. I see this can go two ways; change CP requirement from 2 to 3 OR change the unit to not directly gain PTRS anti-tank rifles and change those into an upgrade that is not compatible with the DP-28. This would make the unit more appropriate for a specific mission. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Submission - USA24 Jan 2019, 21:03 PM Ranger Special Operations Company Utilize stealth, speed and scouting to direct precise attacks. (0)Signal Intercept Knowing what the enemy does as USF is actually pretty valuable, making the officer choice easier. (1)Ambush Camouflage Allows Riflemen, Rear Echelon troops, officers and Rangers to be upgraded with camouflage. USF currently has little infantry enhancements in its commanders. This ability allows Players to try out a new style of infantry play with USF infantry, allowing for ambushes and surprise attacks. (2)Ranger Infiltration Four-man version of the Ranger squad (comes with 4 out of 5 members). 340 manpower Usually Rangers(3) come too late to be relevant or are too expensive at that time, as investments into tech and light vehicles are generally prioritized. Reducing the cost to (2) command points and 340 manpower (from 400) cannot just be done like that so the initial squad comes with four out of five members. The infiltration is added to play into the commander's theme and to allow the Player to flank team weapons that are spotted behind enemy lines. See also the commander ability below. (3)Infantry Equipment Allows Rangers to use Satchel Charge and AT Satchel Charge abilities, Riflemen to use Phosphorous Smoke Grenades and Rear Echelon troops to use Armoured Vehicle Detection. Gives infantry more meaningful abilities, each with a different function as well. Rangers become a bigger threat versus infantry and vehicles with satchel charges and at satchels, which work well with ambush camouflage and infiltrations. Riflemen can use smoke to cover attacks or allow infantry to hide with camouflage. Vehicle detection can be used by the Echelons troops as these units are not really that great as a front-line infantry, but can still provide support this way. The phosphorous smoke grenade allows riflemen to finally flank machine guns or burn out enemies inside buildings. (4)Slow-fired Artillery Barrage A very slow-firing artillery barrage useful for denying areas and destroying buildings and emplacements. 150 munitions In: Lobby
