@mod team: There are plenty of threads about the new commanders and its hard to get an overview.
I will try to summarize and update some feedback here. I hope it helps.
Summary of Feedback:
- Breakthrough Equipment:
- Satchel for Pzgrens should be replaced by a smoke grenade or AT satchel
- TigerAce:
- MP cost is too high, should be reduced to 720 MP
- lower the scatter, unit needs to be more reliable against infantry
- Some users suggested a big Tiger shift:
- KT replaces TigerAce in "Strategic Reserves"
- Reworked TigerAce moved to "Grand offensive"
The idea is interesting imo because...
...the KT really needs some love and would give the Wehrmacht a unique unit. And after the great changes to the TigerAce, Elite Doctrin will be a lot more attractive too. Wehrmacht players would win because they could use a proper TigerAce and a KT.
... it would also help OKW tremendously. The KT in its current state is simply bad. Reworking the unit is long overdue (it doesnt need big changes to be valuable again). Now would be a god time to get this done.
... the TigerAce would be a lot better than the current Grand Offensive-Tiger. You also doesnt have to care about aura buffs.
Agreed with the KT-Tiger Ace swap. The King Tiger does not need big changes, thus it shouldn't at a lot of additional work. Furthermore, by moving the Tiger Ace to OKW the team could fix a total of three issues at once. First, it could fix the Tiger Ace generally speaking. Second, it would also help Elite Troop Doctrine a ton. Third, it would give OKW the much desired Tiger I, while at the same time fitting with the theme of Grand Offensive. I mean, who else would lead a Grand Offensive but the best of Tiger Aces?
Likewise, the King Tiger would fit ideally with Strategic Reserves. King Tigers were often used to put out fires (i.e stop breakthroughs). Also, judging by the posts in the balance thread and here it seems clear people actively want a KT Commander for the Wehrmacht.
So why not go for it?
