well your point would have more weight if b4 was ostheer's arsenal and it was soviet's job to counter it because sov is generally forced to choose as soon as possible for shocks, guards for more variety in infantry units. but for ostheer, it is easier to choose doctrines more reactively for stock units do their jobs superbly without doctrinal call ins.
My point has more weight than you think because:
1. There is no doctrinal counter to the B4, so what you say does in no way weaken my point
2. My post was not specifically about the B4 but only used it as an expample for things that are not that well designed in CoH2. Or where did I say only OH suffers from this?
Umm, soviets are forced to it in all game modes since day 1.
Good or bad design, it doesn't matter, its clearly intended design despite relic saying you shouldn't need doctrine to counter doctrinal stuff and yet units like JT can't be countered otherwise.
Well, there is a difference between
mounting docs you would want to use anyway and
mounting a doc for the sole purpose of maybe countering one sepecific enemy doc you are otherwise fucked against but you will not use otherwise.
But yeah, soviet docs without call-ins mostly suffer from this. And if you read carefully you will notice that my post also included units like the JT and was not limited to OH suffering from this.
