Using the same commanders over and over

I have found myself using the same commanders over and over, mainly due to synergy with T1. I always have NKVD, Defense tactics and Airborne in my loadout and gotten a little bored so I have been trying out other commanders such as Counter attack and Shock army which has been fun even if they don't work out as well as I would like sometimes. I also like Lend lease but constantly find myself floating muni.

How about you guys? Have any of you tried something differently recently for what ever reason? What was it and how it work out for you.

Also just saw a game where Scotts did work so I might try some USF again with some of the non-meta commanders.

Hi! I agree with you. IMO, sometimes the best or meta commanders fit the best players playstyle, but the rest of humans have slower movements, less agressive, less micro... so there are other commanders that fit better those playstyles. In addition to this, this game has a lot of years and I can say its funnier now than before. You have five factions, every match is a bit different depending on your factions and your opponents factions and the commanders add much more diversity, so I find very funny to try different commanders, changing playstyles, shifting gears and keep the fun. That's the main reason I have to try different things.

Regards and kisses in the front!

Recently tried some Tank Hunter Tactics, and found it absurdly fun. It's got a bunch of stuff unique to that commander only. There's something super satisfying about chucking a stream of AT nades to instagib vehicles from stealth, besides the little AT mines everywhere and PTAB AT bombing runs, which also does a decent job vaporizing blobs despite its name... B4 is always good for the occasional lulz.

Are you playing team games or 1v1?
Yea when the B4 hits it is hilarious more when they aren't expecting it.

Usually 2v2-4v4, arranged. Haven't picked tank hunters in 1v1 yet, although it probably works perfectly fine at the lowest ranks like where I'm at, since people aren't the greatest at kiting with vehicles. If it comes down to it the B4 could maybe fill a roughly similar role of a katy, and I imagine it would work as excellent bait for vehicles to dive into mines. I like how it's way more subtle in terms of sound than rockets, at least until it hits something.

Tightrope has some games he uses 1v1 at a higher level and managed with it, so it's probably viable at least. He goes for a sniper to shore up his AI weakness, but I've completely lost faith in penals as mainline infantry. In team games I've used the mg+aa halftrack combo and it was solid enough to hold the line until I could get the b4 out for the booms. Otherwise focusing on AI with T70/T34 seems like it should work out. Besides that I think the weak AI isn't that terrible as long as you don't commit all your cons to ptrs, a couple should be enough. Cons vet up quickly so buying an extra squad or two mid-late game to replace the loss of dps is probably fine.

Note I'm trash-tier level so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about. This game is hard and makes me sad. But tank hunting is fun! Ram and bombing run is fun, at nades from camo is fun, B4 goes boom is fun. Covering the map with dshka bunkers after getting popcapped with nothing to spend resources on in big team games was also somewhat satisfying, but not recommended. Mostly the fun part was dropping a B4 shell on the blob that got caught and suppressed by a surprise bunker in the middle of nowhere.

Yea, I feel like it is fairly unique compared to other commanders. Going T2 with mg and mortar for back up should work quite well. I feel you would only need 1 conscript with the upgrade during LV phase so shouldn't hurt you AI too much. If you go T1 you could get a clown car for PTRS shenanigans.
