Just won a game vs this commander. I didn't feel like it was as overwhelming as I thought it would be from the abilities.
The Kv-1 wasnt particularly dangerous, my vet 2 stug and an ATG drove it off and later killed it without problem.
The one thing I will note is that dumb cannon one shot my brand new panzer 4 from full health to 0. I dont know if it was a precision shot or what but it destroyed my tank in one go. The cannon was in his base so it was indirect fire, not a direct fire AT shot. Hence why I had to fight a kv-1 with my remaining stug
I dont recall seeing For the Motherland used, but I had the only munition point on kholdny ferma winter locked down most the game
