Why this didn't work with stolen vehicles like for example m20 from USF ?
Just imagine mortar halftruck with that

I don't mean to highjack your tread, but yesterday I noticed that it is no longer possible to make the UC into a command veichle. Has any other changes been made to it? Is it still posisble to use a free recon plane for example?

Now that the UC is no longer an option, what veichle would you suggest putting it on, considering the significan penalty to mobility?

I was considering something like the firefly or Centaur because they are already more like slow moving firing platforms. Another option could be the AEC (if still possible?) due to the modest price which would turn it into a support unit right behind your main force?

I'd consider using the AVRE as a Command Vehicle because the nerfs don't affect it's Petard Mortar recharge at all. Chuchills in general make excellent command vehicles because you're mostly using them as support vehicles/meat shields so the nerfs don't mean much and they are durable enough to hang around the front line for maximum aura use. Fireflies are the worst choice because they already have a really long reload and it'd make it's main gun useless. On the flip side, Fireflies probably benefit the most from Command Vehicles because the aura makes them fire a lot faster!

Otherwise AEC is probably your best bet with the obvious downside of being the most fragile unit (just have them hang around in the rear lines). AEC is also nice because it has Target Tread which you can pop if they try to dive after your Command Vehicle.

Doesn't that slow the Churchills to a literal crawl though? The AVRE is a good idea though.

Pretty much yeah - it's not great for pushing as a StuG/Pak Wall would pick it apart easily and you obviously run the risk of it not being able to disengage from unfavorable engagements. It's basically the whole Anvil concept in a nutshell- Command Churchill sitting with a Firefly and maybe an Emplacement or two is hard to push off. People forget that the Aura applies to emplacements too ;)

Huh that's good to know. Sounds like a very strong defense, but might not transition to offense as well right?
