One ability I really dont understand why is only in one doctrine is the German smoke bombs, that really deserves to be in another doc.
As for the B4, just use it without the KV1s! just get T3, build the B4 somewhere it can use direct fire as its first shot, use it carefully like a sniper and it will gain Vet1 easy on its first shot. Use it when the enemy has no idea you have gone counter attack
There are 2 commanders witht eh smoke drop. One with the mht and howitzer and the other one with command tank and howitzer
Do you still lose the entire squad when a trench dies with a squad in it?
The issue with tank traps is that you need a lot of them placed to have any effect. And you mostly dotn have the time for that to place them all. They also die in a couple of shots.
So I used it in a couple 2v2 matches and I dont think it is op. it is however pretty badly designed. First of all it is in a shit doctrine with 1 useless ability (armored decteciton). 2 good but simliar (fire and booby) and 1 meh (m42 atg).you should not be able to upgrade instantly and only in friendly connected territory. Enemies should be able to decap it. In return the fuel cost shouldbe lowered.
The cost is somewhat softened by allowing you to skip medics in the beginning and molotovs since your conscnripts are strong with the buff. http://www.coh2.org/replay/17782/fhq-in-high-level-play/page/1#post_id157477
Guard Motor + Urban Defence VS Fortified Armor + Ostruppen Doctrine
Nice game versus the number 1 rank in 2v2AT both factions. Featuring 3 underused commanders (might see why ) and tons of indirect fire.
I tried to use the FHQ after seeing the thread and I wanted to use it to see if it had any merit. Semoisky is the ideal candidate for this commander
