Only the mortar idea is non-doctrinal. The camo idea is cool but o only like one doctrine that includes camo. Plus you have to pay for camo. I like mobile defense so ostruppen is something I often have but again is doctrinal. Storm troopers are also doctrinal and I rarely equip that doctrine in my loadout. I do use spearhead so I could also get mortar half but I often forego it due to 40 fuel input which delays my first tank especially if I want to get a flamer half or car which are nice.

My sources indicate this too.

Would be so awesome. That they haven't appeared yet is a travesty.

Was playing in a game where the Soviet player had two sniper squads by the five-minute mark. I was within a hair of finishing one when I lost my scout car at his base. I decided to try the counter-snipe. I put my sniper on hold fire immediately, I got him into cover next to the Soviet push. The Soviets fired a shot and were not in any cover so they stayed visible. I hot key clicked sniper and right clicked their sniper and nothing for a whole second then the squad disappeared. they fired again and then I tried attacking them and again nothing. I thought maybe the problem is when they are whole fire they cannot even attack when told to. When their sniper fired, I untoggled hold fire and my sniper shot a non sniper. So frustrating. Eventually they closed ranks on me as I was trying to hold my ground; their sniper squad suddenly revealed right next to my sniper. I quickly untoggled hold fire and he finally sniped the soviet team who was practically on top of him, with in a split second the second member of the team fired back and my sniper ate the dirt. I wanted to scream, how do you counter snipe?!?!

Barrages are pretty good against static units (MG's, ...)
It's not because it's more inaccurate that it's less good. A mortar is not only meant for killing units, but also for pushing back enemy static units. If you see a mortar falling next to your MG, 9/10 times you'll reposition the MG. So without even killing units, the mortar barrage can be a good tool to push enemy units out of their position.

So if my front line combat is say rifles versus my grenadiers and I have a mortar set up would you let them auto fire/target the mobile rifles or tell them to attack a specific squad?

Anybody ?
