nope, choices were added
Commander choices, yes, but the presence of global upgrades like Bars, sticky bombs, grenades, sherman up-gun, sherman smoke (for USA), veterency (for Wehrmacht), incendiary grenades, defensive operations, AT grenades, 4 man squads, panzerschreks, increased capture speed, advanced repair, group zeal, veteran sergeant (for PE) are less than in CoH2... British were poorly designed and thus got no global upgrades
But all he's saying for the most part in CoH2 it comes down to "I will spend all my fuel to tech to Luchs then save enough fuel to get a panther" is sometimes how complicated decision making with regards to fuel expenditure gets.
