How about ammo toggle like Sherman?
HE rounds can have reduced range like 40 and remove barrage.

Started game with conscript, Penal, Clown car. Usual harass and decap while I build more Penal squads. Once I hit CP2 called in weapon crate for SMG penal and call in Dshka. Just kept pressuring and gas stealing so that I could rush T3476. At about 20 mins had sizeable lead 3 tanks and Katy vs 1 P4J

At this point I start to fuck up.

Hit him his tank with AT strafe and rushed his base with 3 tanks to chase and kill. Got the kill but lost all 3 tanks and now my gas and MP advantage is mostly gone. From here on I am getting minimal kills with Katy and his fall are getting Vet to deal with my infantry. I am winning in points but his army is slowly getting stronger.

Finally, my katy starts connecting and getting more kills/wipes so he gets more jumpy and I catch him out of position a few times with either AT strafe or 76 blob.

He tries to hold out for a 3 tank army but his points at this point were to low and I get the win.

POSSIBLE BUG SIGHTING:
At 6 minutes I tried to pick up weapon crate with Penal squad that was merged with conscripts and the weapon crate did nothing. Did it twice to check and then called a 3rd and captured with different squad to see if it was unit or game bug.

Decided to try this commander again, played with it once didn't like it but wanted to give it another try.

Went with Conscript, T1, Penal , clown car opening for decap and scouting. After a early decap of enemy gas got caught out of position by enemy Fussi, byebye scoutcar. Kept testing his gas with my penals and eventually made shock trooper. Little did I know he went for luchs and inflicted some bleed on me along with wiping a Penal with a lucky nade. Against my better judgement I made a T70, which I suck with, and tried to do some bleeding of my own. He in turn makes puma and kills my t70 after I am caught out of position.
At this point things aren't looking the best, he has infantry and vehicle advantage however he isn't making the most of it so I am able to beat him to the first tank.
I am able to hold out to a KV1 and am the first with med/hvy tank out. Slowly able to use the tank to inflict loses and push him back while I build my MP up to make 2nd KV1 and B4. From there he doesn't really have an answer for me, the KV1's are able to bounce some hits and keep him in place while B4 damages and suppresses. Eventually, I catch him out of position probably due to chaos of artillery and destroy both LV along with Jagdpanzer. He decides to make a Jagdtiger which isn't really able to do much due to constant repositioning caused by Recon flight and fear of arty.
He makes a Panther and decides to push, PTRS penal satchel and B4 punish him along with KV1 rush. His panther survives but at this point my KV1 have all survived and 2 are Vet3. I whittle him down more and win.

Thoughts:
I understand why people are so emotional about this commander. B4 suppression area is wide as hell and recon flight allows one to get the most out of the B4.
KV1 works great with Penal/Shocks, less micro is required on tank so allows better infantry play for lower level players such as myself.
Mother Russia works great with Penal shocks, was able to chase down tank destroyer and satchel it along with just being able to catch enemy out of position due to recon.
This commander has all useful abilities and frankly a little too strong if you ask me. Each match is different but it is easy to see why the commander is picked so much.

What mode you talking about?

In 1v1 its probably to keep pressure up, not sure why in team games especially if a player goes for penals.

Started with Penal then clown car build, noticed he made kubel wagen so chased it down to prevent back capping. Went with my normal 4 penal build to commissar. I have been terrible with t70 so went with m5 quad to suppress and keep his decapping in check.

Opp made Batttle groupe and then went mechanized and decided to build a puma. Since my clown car was still alive I decided to use my quad as bait and catch him with a ptrs clown car. Would be a good trade for me since my t3476 would be unopposed once it hit the field unless he made another Puma.
Started to pressure him with decapping and Penal with commisar buffs along with fear propoganda, got a couple wipes and steam rolled from there.

Some thought:
I really like the commander, all the abilities are useful and have a place although KV8 is probably better for team games were team mate can make up for lack of at.
Radio intercept I feel works great with T1, allows you to know if LV is made so you can proactively get PTRS to counter. IF you can keep your m3 alive even better.
Commissar is really good unit with great abilities. Behind green cover, Penal with buff can trade great with any unit. I try to use a Vet2 against elite infantry due to already having bonuses. Against mainline I like to buff lower vet squad since they can drop enemy models quickly to vet up.
Didn't use scorched earth this match, however in my prior match I got enemy cutoff with it. Ability doesn't do much damage but the inability to decap for about a minute throws opp off balance.
AT overwatch helps shitty T3476 deal with heavier tanks.
