Profile of Wehrwolf

I've still not seen a single commander for any faction. Is there something I'm missing? I've put alot of hours in & have recieved alot of bulletins & a few camo/ Vstrikes/ faceplates but sod all of any value to me.

The only plus side is I've gone back to using all four factions & noticed no difference whatsoever in who the drops are for faction wise so I think the "using a faction gets you drops for it" theory is wrong. On the other hand rng is rng & Nuffle hates me so take that with a grain of salt :3

Hope everyone else is having better luck than I

The only bad thing about this release was the warspoils system, I'd say that means relic did a pretty chuffing awesome job.

I'm old & busy alot so I've yet to get a single commander for any faction (about 40 hours played since release). In a few months time there will no doubt be more default commanders for the new factions so people starting out will have more options but being stuck with 3 per new faction this long after release is beginning to get abit old.

I'm thinking I may take a brake & wait for those extra options to be released. I'll keep watching streams & lurking in these forums but waiting for a commander drop is definately getting tiresome.

This new system will eventually give me a chance to try out partisan tactics though so yay!

Thank you for doing this, much oblidged

Hi, I really like this concept so I'll throw a few of my ideas into the pot.

I focused on the Ostheer because I really like the free Soviet doctrines & think they're quite strong (admittedly this could be a play style thing) whereas I find the free Ostheer ones in comparison somewhat lacking, Festung & Assault support are ok but just don't quite gel for me & the others I just generally dislike much prefering the CE doctrines, Lightning war & Joint Ops doctrine for example have sat in my load out since the day they were released.

I decided to give both an offensive & defensive doctrine a try & this is the result. Both doctrines are based around the "Ambush camo" ability as I really like the idea but feel it doesn't shine in the current load outs its included in. I also only used free abilities as it appears the paid dlc ones are being kept as exclusive but imo theres enough room to maneuver without their addition as the base skill set is pretty vast as it is.

Disclaimer- this post is all based off of my perceptions of units/ abilities/ commanders not established use/ current meta. Any opinions expressed may be complete BS! :3


Kleine Krieg Doctrine

1) G43 recce kit
2) Panzer smoke
3) Ambush camo
4) Command tank
5) Stuka close air support

The Offensive doctrine- The idea behind this doctrine was take & hold, G43's provide grens with real stopping power & panzer smoke means you can pull out your armour to reengage elsewhere when a well entrenched enemy denies you your push.

With surgical strikes to cut offs in mind Ambush camo gives your infantry abit of bite for the inevitable drive to take vital points back & they're assisted by the additional staying power provided by the P4 command tank. However if holding such a position is untenable the P4 also allows you to shore up a 2nd defensive line in your own (established) territory allowing a safe retreat path when you've held that point as long as possible or if you are unable to cap the desired point thus not enabling the P4's bonuses.

All of which is complimented by the Stuka air support (another underrated abiility imo often overlooked due its 120 muni strafing brethren).

I also wanted a free doctrine with Panzer smoke & G43's, its a nice armour/ infantry combo that I feel should be available to everyone. In all honesty I don't think my variation of a commander utilising these two abilities will be to alot players tastes but I'd like the idea talked about & maybe other players will post their desired variations (if they haven't done so already).




Counter Artillery Doctrine.

1) Artillery Officer
2) Mortar halftrack
3) Riegal AT mines
4) Ambush camo
5) LeFH howi

The Defensive doctrine- For me this doctrine is a dream! I really like Storm doctrines idea of using Riegals & camo'd schrecks to deal with Soviet armour but feel it adds little else to goad the Soviet into committing it.

I also wanted to give the Officer a chance to shine, not that he doesn't but having 3 doctrinal units working in a symbiotic fashion that also acts like a glove to the face of the Soviet player seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up & thus my 3 other abilities were decided. The indirect fire provided by this doctrine is immense & comes with the added option of having the Officer coordinate it!

I really thought long & hard about how to describe how this doctrine plays out using the above method of basic examples but I just can't do it xD the options are nigh on limitless in my head, it takes the best of Festung support, Joint Ops & Storm doctrines options & almagamates them into a perfect support doctrine.

With Storm doctrine I feel you're screwed if you become ammo starved as its abit of a one trick pony so you end up with a crappy LeFH doctrine (I mean wasted slots with the awesome howi! not that its crap^^) & with Joint Ops its the same if you're bleeding manpower heavily as you'll never get the chance to set up either of your big hitters & it has little else to fall back on.

Festung support meets them in the middle but imo wastes 2 slots. Smoke bombs are unneeded because you have the mortar option & I find the planes timing too unreliable & Relief infantry which was situational/ borderline useful before the Ostruppen change is now completely useless as Ostruppen no longer have a place outside of a doctrine not built around them.

I intentionally left out the recce run plane as I find its an incredibly powerful tool, especially when coupled with artillery. I also wanted to avoid offmap call ins, they're strong & have a place in the game but I wanted the focus on this doctrine to be on unit abilities & upgrades rather than called in support. I believe this encourages scouting & using Ambush camo for spotters making it a more proactive approach to the use of forces provided.

P.S. I'm crap at naming so they got crappy unimaginative names, sorry!

Any of them! I just want more good games! yesterday was brilliant from a stream watchers perspective, we were spoilt for choice xD grats to all players for making it this far & thanks to the snf crew & everyone who's been streaming their games
