To the people saying to use doctrinal stuff: the need to equip one specific commander JUST IN CASE the enemy has another specific commander in his loadout is simply bad design. Players should not be forced into specific loadouts, as this reduces the variety of commanders actually used. There should be no unit and/or ability, doctrinal or not, that can only really be countered by doctrinal units and/or abilities.
well your point would have more weight if b4 was ostheer's arsenal and it was soviet's job to counter it because sov is generally forced to choose as soon as possible for shocks, guards for more variety in infantry units. but for ostheer, it is easier to choose doctrines more reactively for stock units do their jobs superbly without doctrinal call ins.
