As far as I know spotting scopes are in 1 commander only,which is jäger armor doctrine so you might want to go for that one

Spotting scopes on the 222 is a great recon tool especially in 1v1 since it gives you LOS on a big portion of the map and at vet3 on small maps actually uncovers most of it (just remember there is true sight...). It counters shocks reliable since they have no snare but be careful of camouflaged zis waiting for you. Try using the rest of the commander as well, HT is great for field presence and the mines pack quite a punch. Them combined with the elefant will laugh at any armor the allies can throw at you. Recon overflight and the stuka need no explanation I think-
I have no experience with this against brits or usf so maybe someone else can give you that part.
