It is the least picked commander across most modes.

Well it doesnt nessesery mean its bad. Its not CAS like commander, its just other commanders are much more usefull and ostwind alone arent worth picking it for. Thats why if it was the second commander (out-side of feuersturm) which provided some sort of an upgrade to volks it might become more popular.

So you need 2 paks instead of 1 to keep it in check and maybe actually put down that one teller on obvious approach, because KV-1 isn't going to be flanking you.

I don't really know what people expect with just 1 PaK or stug against it.

Yeah like duh its just an additional 320 MP investement into a deducated AT unit, in a short period of time. Not like you need your own tank at this point, not like soviets are getting both AT and AI tank and getting reserves at this time, while you are investing MP into AT units.

Just get additional PaK #4head, its ez.

Objectively the only time salvage is really a deal breaker is when either you lost your support weapon before the AT guns and if your support weapon was killed on retreat somewhere behind your lines.

If you lost support weapon somewhere on the front line, chances it will be destoyed by AT guns are just as big.

Other then that, yes it is strong, but hey OKW is not allowed to have caches.

The only thing broken about KV-1 and KV-8 - timing. By no means player should be able to get one at the same time enemy can get its first medium.

Its main gun might not be the best one, but its still shut downs medium play almost completly with the only counter being early AT gun walling.

It should have had CP requrement long time ago. To at least delay KVs by about a minute or two.

Joint operations is fine, especially with the new upcoming supply stations. Also, this is the only doctrine where you can find lefh and the arty officer together, the coordinated barrage can make lefhs fire again, even during cooldown.

I dont see anything being fine with it, tbh. It always was pure nooby 3v3+ commander, because you realistically wont be able to utilize PaK43 and LeFH even in semi-competitive games. You simply will end up out of pop-cap.

Also I suggest not to overestimate repair station and its impact. Its a cool ability, but its not a selling point and its not soviet HQ. Its more of a boosted Windustry countepart.

And on I side note, while having leFH fire second time with officer is a cool thing, I would prefere playing with Storm, because this one is not only usefull in every single scenario imaginable, but also can self-hard counter any enemy howi with recon+stuka.

I'il take this any day over officer and repair station, especially considering there are better comms with them.

But even if its a personal taste (but still I see absolutely no reason to pick Joint over Storm), still if you compare both LeFH commanders to both ML-20 commanders, Joint is complete lacklaster in terms of its over-all value and impact on the core army.

In fact, Storm is such a sexy doc after all the changes, I dont even know how second LeFH commander should look to be a even remotely competitive with it.
