It's a shame that unique ideas were removed in the commanders. They could have been balanced for sure, replacing them was just quicker and easier

It may have been overpowered before, but now it is a design & thematical fail. There would have been more creative ways to make the more origial ideas work instead of just replacing them with more generic stuff.

Rifle Company as a doctrine had a very unique feel to it. It was recognizeable. Also by the enemy (when seeing the rifles with flamers). That is now gone. Which makes it a less interesting design now.
Sure, on Rear Echelons, flamers can also have the effect of being recognizeable to some degree. But then again the name of the Company (Rifle Company) seems off.

Say what you want, the balance may be better now (I don't know, others shall judge that), but the design is a lot less interesting and less creative from my point of view.

I just would've liked it if they had at least tried to make some of the more unique, interesting ideas work. Like, why not have Veteran Riflemen trained from the HQ instead of spawning from offmap instantly (like it used to be in an ealier build)? Why not give Rifle flamers a higher chance to explode again? I don't know, I feel like they gave up to easily just to quickly appease the crowd. But on the long run, these rushed changes to the commander do not seem to benefit the design of the game from my point of view. Same goes for the industry ability: If it's intervention with the income is so negative for gameplay, why not have another creative effect on the ability while actually keeping the unique voicelines and icon of the ability instead of replacing it with an existing ability (Supply drop) which is rahter lame.

Can autoface return when the Pack Howitzer / ISG suppression is gone? They are only mortar things again, so...

and from what I heard people could queue attack orders as a work-around to no autoface. So it is nothing but a nuisance.

Volks costing more than Grens is very weird and stupid for reasons...!

I would like to add that there is no voice line of Obers when they start upgrading for a mg34 (when starting to get a infrared stgg there is one).

Since accomplishing maximum polish should be in Relic's interest also, I can see that going back to Obers starting with the mg34 with stats adjustments could be the more ideal solution.
