Oh, but please, name these bad P2W commanders that were not elite troops or soviet industry.
Please, tell us exactly which ones and in which way were stronger then say guard motor or shock rifle or lightning war or spearhead or the ele doctrine?
Two commanders were clear P2W.
Every single other one? Clueless noobs complaining about stuff they have never faced before and screamed OP because they were completely clueless on how to adapt and learn counters. Best example? Mechanized Assault, where oh so op AssGrens were nerfed hard only to be brought back to the state where they are STRONGER then they were released and its not like it was the only unit in that doctrine that got this kind of treatment, so please, don't say about P2W, when you're absolutely clueless and stuck in denial. You don't even know what P2W is.
Again with this discussion? Variety of options is an edge on itself. Whether you consider this P2W or not is up to you.
I remember the day/s of OP AssGrens which then got nerf to acceptable levels. On that time initial MP was so low that T1 or T2 opening where quite hard. By that time you were already behind. The main problem wasn´t able to field counters in time without losing map presence.
Osstruppen + AssG was quite strong.
Lighting, Spearhead are still DLC commanders Same with Joint Op (i think)
Terror > Anti Infantry (Free)
Mechanized Support > Shock Motor (Free)
FHQ was broken, at least it was hotfix in days. I still find it strong on 2v2 on specific maps such as Semoisky and maybe the city/bridge map if used with SU + US against double OH (take church rush AA HT)
You already talked about Windustry.
Elite still remains one of the strongest commanders.
Luftwaffe complements really well OKW.
SU free commanders are fine, OH are a bit lackluster
