Armor Company is a joke. 2 abilities that utilize artillery and only 1 ability that actually has anything to do with calling in a tank. The devs just put that commander in for the nubs who want to just spam tanks with artillery. Armor Company in itself is the worst commander you can choose. Airborne is by far the most versatile.
It's stupid but they've been making stupid decisions since vCoH.
Not for 1v1 it isn't. You foget that doc has demos, which if used early can really devastate the enemy. If push comes to shove you also have cheap armor at your disposale with the m10, which is just a little worse off p4 for only 80 fuel. The off-map is great because it fires huge railway arty type rounds off in a big AOE so if the enemy thinks hes safe on one side he needs to think again. Calling in one bulldozer sherman is great for countering people who tend to blob. Airborne imo is actually the worst doc for 1v1 as the only really good thing going for it is the lmg upgrade for airborne. Everything is overpriced for stuff you can easily get cheaper and crewed for 270/280 mp in t2/t3. In fact I've used Armor'd doc every time for each of my 1v1s to get to the rank of #1 USA. MVGame
