Commander Revamp Patch bugs:

1) When merging with Commissar squad without comissar model - conscripts will have no weapons (would pretend to have invisible pistols)
2) Unable to merge with Comissar squad with ONLY comissar model.

OP, try to go instant T1 into Sniper as a first unit. It works well on most maps.

If you're playing against OKW build M3A1 as second unit in order to counter Kubel. You should have enough MP pretty much right after you've finished building a sniper.

Sniper (if supported by your ally) should make short work of OKW sturmpios, Wehr Grens and MG42s.
The only REAL problem is Kubel. That's why you need to build M3A1 in time.

Watch out for enemy sniper.
There are two things that is useful for dealing with him:
- Radio Intercept - it will allow you to know IF enemy sniper was built
- Recon Flight - this will reveal enemy sniper, but comes kinda late

There is only one commander that have both abilities - NKVD Disruption Tactics. Some say that this commander is complete trash because it has only muni abilities, but I feel that after latest series of buffs to Soviet stock units it may be not so bad. I've tested him only a few times so kinda hard to make a conclusion.

Radio Intercept also should help you to find out if enemy went Kubel and so you would know if you need to go M3A1 to counter it. I've came to conclusion that M3A1 is kinda weak investment in 4v4, so I don't build it other than for this purpose.

Once you've pushed enemy back you need to dig down - place sandbags if you have Cons, ask your teammate if you don't.

I usually end up with 1 sniper and 3 penals (one upgraded with PTRS), sometimes one Cons to reinforce flamer CEs and PTRS penals if needed.

Stun affects for howitzers that fire multiple shells would be too much, other affects like "shell shock" that would lower the DPS could be allot more balanced.

I agree on stun. I don't like mechanics that take away control of unit. Suppression would be better.

Suppression for multi-shell howitzers is a way to make them do at least something against infantry (holding them in area of barrage for some time through speed reduction). You can argue that they are not supposed to be used against mobile units, but in combination of reduction of lethal radius that I've mentioned earlier, I think it would be fine.

I wonder why NKVD Rifle Disruption Tactics got so many votes?

I thought Soviet commander votes will be quite spread out among Shock Troop commanders and a few others.

Looks like someone got rekt by T-34-85
