Where have all the threads been that call for doctrinal mortar? As far as I'm aware people have always called for snare and mortar to be non-doc the same way people called for panzer 4 and MG34 to be non-doc for OKW.
When you see OKW given almost every doctrinal tool non-doc that they lacked (flame nades, snare, MG34, P4). Then they get combined command unlocks with multiple abilities in one (overwatch doc)
then Brits get a snare... But still no non doc flamer/mortar/rocket arty. The one update they do get you're allowed a mortar that takes up a single slot. it's obvious people will see it as a bit annoying. Just because one Soviet doctrine has tank traps that hardly justifies things.
I'm not saying this doctrine is useless or anything but I hope you can understand why people are moaning. But criticism is good, I think the doctrine needs a little adjustment like swapping out the smoke ability and it would see use on urban maps.
Because not having a medium tank or Supression platform is a hell of a lot different than having a mortar and not liking it.
Brits are designed to be more static, this commander allows unparalleled mobility for the faction. At most I could see swapping it for the pak howi or dropping the CP requirements (imo if the mortar stays this is necessary) but it shouldn't be a mortar halftrack as that offers far too much extra to the doctrine and puts it in a tier above the others by making the brits too mobile.
