Yes, the changes are drastic, but with a commander as bad as this one, I think that's alright. It's not like any of those abilities are hard to implement or have the potential to be really OP.
But you're right, it's very unlikely that we're gonna see an overhaul like that. Although it's probably almost as unlikely to even see smaller changes like the ones you proposed. When did they ever significantly change commander abilities? The only time I can think of was when the Pz4 group in Elite Armor was swapped for the Sturmtiger.
Have a faith! They did it with Elite Troops, Industry and Rifle Company quite recently! |
I mostly play team games, your assumption is your own fault, I never said I play 1v1s.
And last time I played the DshK and 120mm mortar wrecked... one suppressed long enough for the other's shells to land directly on the enemy infantry units.
Edit: Yeah I'd agree more with the 152mm howitzer or B4, but again, the B4 is a premium unit so I don't know...
Then try it one more time. Put HMG42 ahead of Puma and then put DHSK ahead of Puma. See what happens.
120 wrecks... 120 is worse than 81mm. Just saying.
As for howies, check post above.

You have total 1 of Soviets as random and none AT. Unless you play only comp stopms or custom games all the time. |
B4 maybe or ML20?
yea, I was thinking about it but with howies this doctrine would result with huge fuel float without any way to spend it. MP for M42, MP for DSHK, MP for 120mm and MP for howie. Too much MP without fuel. |
You're suggesting defensive tactics get a premium commander unit in the form of the KV-2 which is no small feat to be honest, while if this was implemented the Wehr one would suck even more, I mean, why choose to play Wehr with all of it's shitty abilities compared to the awesome Soviet one? You get a .50 cal MG that shreds light vehicles, the best indirect fire support weapon in the game in the form of the 120mm mortar, trenches or whatever if they're combined, impassible tank traps and the KV-2 tank, compared to trenches, tank traps, hull down, Pak 43 which is probably the best thing about this doc, and Sector Arty which as you said is situational.
And yes I am very well aware that such abilities are often combined for the Western Front Armies but not for the East which is very puzzling for me, but still I can't explain to myself why the lack of basic field defense such as the sandbags for the Wehrmacht, a supposedly defensive Army as Relic have already stated with their info-graph or whatever.
My only suggestion is that if they were to really actually add the KV-2 to the Soviet defensive doctrine they should compensate the Wehrmacht with the Lefh 18 as well.
You really need to update your game.......
Few facts: T0 HMG42 is way way better agasint vehicles than 2CPs DSHK.
120mm is no better than stock 81mm. In fact there is no point of picking 120mm ever.
Sorry but I must ask. What's your multiplayer experience? Because with 1 random game as SU Im not surprised you are saygn that 120 is best mortar and DSHK wrecks vehicles...

Just gonna shamelessly advertise my mod here - it reworks Defensive Tactics and a bunch of other commanders. Have a look if you're interested:

You proposed huge changes for Defensive Tactics (like a making completly new doctrine). Therefore not a smallest chance for this.
That's why I proposed something easy. |
|
It's about who can cheese better. |
I meant it as in it's a single ability that grants you both the Pak 43 and Lefh 18, not separately. And really tho, Wehrmacht should have access to sandbags, why can't Grenadiers, a supposedly well trained and equipped German squad, build sandbags while the Volks can, also take note that Volks can also build MG bunkers with the Fortifications commander while Grenadiers can't build anything else outside of bunkers.
How can you compare Pak43 and LeFH, high CP, heavy impact ablities/units to tank traps and AI mines?
Maybe you missed that USF Rifles can build FP, sandbags and mines from 1 ability.
SP can build tank traps, flak and trenches from 1 ability. Imagine with traps, trenches and flak were 3 different abilities in 1 commander.
Volks can buiuld bunkers and s-mines from 1 ability.
Therefore I can't find any reason why tanks traps and mines cannot be combined.
You can also ask why Cons don't have LMG upgrade while Grens have non doc LMG.

Thanks Kobunite! |
Maybe replace KV-2 on ISU-152? KV-2 so rarely used in 1944-1945. And ISU-152 can be named as succesor to KV-2 in Soviet Army.
Well, I have a feeling like KV2 just suits better for defensive theme with its siege mode. |
Nay. This is a defensive commander suitable for large team-games, where you can spam engineers and AT guns, then set them up behind tank traps while your team-mates go about having fun in the match. Changing it might actually reduce its unique flavour.
It's everything but a team-game commander.
Wonder why I havent seen such thing druing my 2000hrs 
Im not taking away tank traps, just adding more stuff so how adding more stuff would change its flavour?
Add KV2? No, or else, give something to compensate to the Wehr Defensive commander, for instance, the PaK 43 gives you the Lefh 18 as well.
But yes, I do agree that the tank traps and mines should be a single ability, and that the M-42 is nothing I would use when I have access to the ZiS-3, maybe replace it with trenches? There was also a cancelled commander that gave the Soviets the MG nest as a buildable emplacement, maybe transfer that over to this commander instead sounds like a bit better idea.
Maybe the Wehr commander should also give players sandbags?
Huh?
OST defensive has some good stuff.
You have trenches so why would you need sandbags?
Hull down is also welcome.
Pak43 is amazing. SU got M42
And Sector Arty, while really powerful, it's very situational.

This doctrine has some cool unique stuff like anti-personal mines or tank traps.
Sadly such unique abilities can't be used because whole doctrine is not that good (in fact it's bad)
Solution.
Combine tank traps and mines into one ability.
Fix 13 pop cap for 120mm.
Add KV2.
This way it would become truly defensive tactics with KV2 siege mode which would work amazing with tank traps (similar synergy like scopes and Elephant).

I guess it should be Fix FOR but I was thinking about something else... Can mods change it? |
