I dunno, I kind of feel the Howitzer with Recon Plane would really give you some serious toys for the end game of the doctrine as a reward for stumbling through without guards, shocks or conscript upgrades.

240 munitions is really heave price for an air strike. Even for the soviets.
It needs to be made more usefull or have the cost reduced.
Anyway, I agree wtih the OP that this doctrine is too one sided. I would suggest swapping in the 120 mm mortar. I think it is only in one doctrine atm?

hmm? what do you want?
I actually like this commander and don't think he's 'horrible' but stacking munitions dumps is an ineffective spread of abilities. You are forced to pick and choose how to best spend your munitions, and while the variety of options can be nice you are never fully using your abilities as much as commanders with call ins or passive abilities.
I feel The NKVD rifle counterpart is the Jaeger Infantry doctrine which is pretty much the German equivalent for a munitions dump doctrine. I think people get that doctrine mostly for the G43s.
A howitzer/recon plane would be awesome. Talk about disruption.

I disagree, I'm afraid.
If you play this commander in 4v4, the amount of intel it starts to pump out is so fast - (assuming the Ostheer is not sleeping) - that you simply cannot assimilate it usefully and know to which of the opposing 4 it applies (in the early game,at least)
In 1 v 1 ,it would presumably be slower and more useful, bcs it could only tell you about your oppo, but even then, the Ostheer is so restricted in its BO, that I doubt if you need this commander's intel, bcs you should be taking the initiative with SU, rather than reacting. And as you sagely state, if you can recruit Guards or Shocktroops, why hamstring yourself?

I want to want to use this in 1v1 because of those sweet, sweet radio intercepts. I just can't bring myself to pick something that doesn't give me either Shock Troops or Guards. I imagine NKVD could be useful in 2v2 or 3v3. Anyone have any good experiences with it there?
Also, I must be an exception to the "all Soviet players float muni" rule because I often spend munitions as fast as I can get them. All of the various grenades, plus mines, flares, and mortar precision strikes... it gets expensive fast. I posit that if you're floating tons of munitions as Soviets, you're not playing the faction to its fullest. Anyway, that's just another reason for me to avoid this doctrine and its wonderful, beautifulmaphacksradio intercepts.
