Overall nice changes with couple exceptions:
B4 sadly does not sound as meme-y anymore
How the hell are there no skillplanes nerfs across the board?
And they even buffed the brit ones in Vanguard doc

As far as the Panzer IV J goes, I really like this tank but the only issue I have with it is that I think the name is wrong. If it's the Ausf J version then it would mean that it lacks a turret rotation motor thus making it cheaper to produce but since the turret is hand cranked it'd be slower to turn obviously as you can read here: https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/panzerkampfwagen-iv-ausf-j/
So the more correct name would be Panzer IV Ausf. H since that's the version of the tank in the game I believe, fitted with the "Schürzen" Armored skirts and the final version of it's 75mm gun.

Please post all general feedback from the Commander Update beta here. Each faction has its own thread for specific feedback related to their commanders, units, etc.

I agree with the majority of these changes, but I have some major issues regarding the arbitrary limit on cross-faction units. As many have pointed out, a King Tiger for Ostheer could be very interesting and reuse the current Tiger voice lines (as it was officially just Tiger Ausf B by army regulations). There are also plenty of German skins we can 'force' onto the vehicle, like how the 221/223, Command Tiger, or Tiger Ace handles it.
I think the decision to avoid cross-faction units really hurts this time. The .50 cal for Soviets is the exception, probably justified by it not needing skins, but I really dislike this change as not only is it historically innacurate, but it also doesn't add anything new or interesting - its just a token buff to the firing arc. A Universal Carrier would have been more thematic and far more interesting. Like how the 221/223 is forced to use Panzergrau, the Universal Carrier can be forced to use Olive Drab or something. Many photographs of Soviet Universal Carriers show minimal paint or no paint at all, so the lack of faction camo skins shouldn't be a big deal.
More in-depth explanation for Soviet UC:
I really suggest a reconsideration of using cross-faction vehicles, especially for Soviet Lend-Lease.

As it stands, this limitation will set the precedent that there will never be any cross-faction vehicles for future patches, severely limiting the capability of the balance team to make interesting units/doctrines in the future, especially to the German factions.
