Some are uncommon, some are rare. Does that mean those are strictly better?
No, it relates to the chances of getting them
There is:
http://www.coh2.org/guides/31838/ostheer-101the-consolidated-guide-to-common-commanders
And a Sov one will be coming soon, which will cover builds and strats more because those matter more for Sov commander selection.
I've added sections on other commanders in the guides I have done, but that's not a universal feature and that's still, as you've said, focused around one commander

Tiering system is an idea I have had in the past based on this |
Accuracy is better than the reload?
TheEvilAdventurer: Forgive me, but I don't understand, what you mean by adv and dis?
Me knows not how to quote.
A bit off-topic, I realise some strategy guides are not updated, what is needed to update them?
Someone willing to do it.
I will generally revisit mine after each patch; however that's not done by everybody
At the moment we are focused on filling in gaps rather than updating existing content |
I to, want to nerf Soviet and USF while giving Ostheer and OKW the biggest buff it's ever gotten.
We already knew that |
back to topic
Enable OKW to build cashes but nerf them somewhere ?
Maybe higher upkeep for volks?
Why would you give a faction that is resource starved by design a way around that?
Every other faction is severely limited by their manpower income, OKW isn't. This is a feature, not a bug. |
Boys AT Rifle:
Don't see why the Russians should get all the fun |
Yess Yess!
discuss balance ona faction that isnt in-game yet
You all must feel soo smart
We need to discuss all possible ways it can be wrong so that relic will listen to us and not do any of them*
*More or less exact reasoning used by someone in the custom commanders thread |
Well so much for Queen winning gracefully.
Anyone here surprised about that? |
I have 2500 hours in game, have been at prestige rank 3 for ages and I have not been able to drop every commander via warspoils.
Therefore I would say that you cannot rely on Warspoils to get you everything, but you will get something
Excluding the Commons that never drop I have:
5 duplicates of one commander
4 duplicates of two commanders
3 duplicates of three commanders
2 duplicates of five commanders
1 duplicate of seven commanders
18 commanders that have never dropped via warspoil
|
I believe it is like this:
1) A new player will start the game with all the Common Commanders only
2) All Uncommon & Rare Commanders are available through warspoils
3) Some but not all of the Uncommon and Rare Commanders are available as DLC
4) This leaves the following that are neither common, nor DLC
Ostheer Close Air Support Rare
SOV Advanced Warfare Rare
These were available from MAKE WAR NOT LOVE, so will now be warspoils only?
Ostheer Defensive Rare
SOV Defensive Rare
You can still get these from signing up to the Official Forums?
SOV Lend Lease Rare
Ostheer Mobile Defence Rare
These two were released on Elbe Day - and I recall went to everybody then.
However I presume that they are now warspoils only
Ostheer Assault Support Uncommon
Ostheer Jeager Infantry Uncommon
SOV NKVD Rifle Uncommon
SOV Shock Motor Uncommon
I believe these used to be unlocked as one gained levels, but that no longer happens so they are now warspoils only
++++++++++++++++++++
So actually there are Commanders that you cannot buy with money, but are/were dependent upon events and warpoils.
That's the opposite of P2W

Based on this you aren't asking. You already have an opinion. Yes, opinion that MOST OP abilities are available only in DLC.
With Ost, you can have Tiger, Elephant (that has stuka as an arty counter) and MT Halftrack with free commanders.
With Sov, you can have PTRS (guards in multiple commanders), ISU-152, IS2, T34's, Mark the target, you name it with free commanders.
Not mentioning WFA free commanders that are almost all really solid.
What are these OP abilities you talk about? Tiger Ace? Tank Hunters?
Nit pick:
You used to be able to unlock Tigers and ISU-152 Commanders as you gained level, since war spoils came in that doesn't work anymore I think.
You get the Common Commanders and that is it; anything else comes from Warspoils or DLC. |
