Profile of kanon

M-42 is needed in the commander to counter 251 flamer if the player use the fuel for FHQ instead of a building.

The incendiary arty on the other hand could easily be replaced by a more powerful version of map like IL-2 bombing or AT bombing.

U are paying 200 mp for an unit that can counter only 222s or flame hts, definitely not worth it. Just go PTRS penals or zis gun to do that.

Btw you are not going to build a FHQ that fast. If u do that u will be behind the enemy for sure.

Try to always think considering a balanced match.

What?

The M21 Mortar HT is overlapping with the Mortar team and pack howitzer for the USF in both Infantry and Mech Companies.

Literally any infantry with bazookas is good in the M3 Halftrack, especially when using with Combined Arms (the 76mm Sherman comes to mind here).

On the contrary, I would say that Mech Company has more synergy than Armor Company.

What are Assault Engineers exactly? Are they elite infantry? Are they close combat infantry? Are they assault infantry?

What's their synergy with the rest of the commander? Vehicle crews can already repair their own vehicles so their repair ability is pretty useless, REs can already build what they can and even better, so can Rifles along with Riflemen Field Defenses and so forth. Their only real unique ability is that to deploy demo charges and that they're armed with M3 Grease Guns, that's about it.

Elite Crews are useless and I still consider them as such so I see no synergy here.

The M10 is overlapping with the M36 Jackson so there's no other reason to get it right now other than being cheaper and a bit faster.

The 105 Sherman used to overlap with the regular Sherman using HE rounds, not anymore in the preview.

And the 240mm Arty is just the Ost railway arty so nothing to say here.

If we're going by the name alone the only really "armor" themed things here are the Elite Crews and tanks, that's about it.

Mech Company has more "Armor" in it than actual Armor Company.

Mortar HT is a mobile indirect fire unit with powerful abilities ( HE, phosphorous rounds).It doesn't overlap with pack howitzer and t0 mortar for these reasons.

I wouldn't spit on a 5 men flamer squad with good close combat firepower (i might be wrong but they use the same stats of the cav riflemen grease guns). They can repair, they can lay down mines and some defences. You might want them on a map with lots of covers and buildings.

M10 is a much cheaper tank destroyer, with much lower pop cap, you can get out 1 on them much faster than a jackson giving you a nice answer to a P4 rush by OKW or Ostheer. On large maps it excels in fast flanking attacks. I wouldn't understimate this unit.

The off map arty is a very good area denial in the revamped version. And ofc it's always handy an off map call for arty support.

Sherman bulldozer (revamped) is probably even OP, it obliterate enemy infantry with that huge AoE.

Elite crews i agree with you, they are quite disappointing.

i think mechanise is in a good spot CP2 cavalry riflemen finally access to smoke and they have to close in their AT satchel is good no need to nerf anything just leave it like this imo

The doctrine is quite lacking to become competitive.
As i said in other posts almost every revamped commander is not going to give competition to the usual three or four commonly used in our best loadouts.

Why should i take mech? For 2 cp close range infantry? i have stock rifles that are great, i can use paratroopers with thompson or rangers if i really need a very close range infantry unit.
Am i choosing that commander for dodge maybe? again, very situational unit, cool abilities but really hard to keep it alive during a balanced match.
I need that sherman? the stock one is enough in most situations.
Think about the other USF commanders. I want mechanized to play heavily on vehicles? Just go revamped armor company, it offers better stuff to do that. Or go pershing commander to get a strong heavy armor plus some other usefull stuff with it.

We should think how to make some real alternative to the usual commanders. There are plenty of "flavour" doctrines that no one uses unless he wants to troll or have an harder time winning a match.
The design of these commanders should be focused on some unique mix of useful abilies that can really make our choice worth it.

I'll make a quick example: Let's look at Commando regiment and Vanguard operations from UKF. Probably the last few patches made the first one a better pick overally but they have a good mix of abilities that make both doctrines worth to be played in a balanced match.

i don't get why Stug E has been buffed even more.
Have you guys tested that thing? it's just insane imo ( and it's quite good even in the current patch tbh)
Right now it's like a very cheap version of the ISU.
In my opinion it needs an increase in cost and CP requirement if you want to keep it as it is right now

P.S. quick question: these commanders are the final ones for the revamp or it's possible to make suggestions for others?

2 major issues with this pack howie is the cost and the competitiveness of its tier. In the current meta lieutnant is way better than captain tech, mostly because of those 50.cals.
not sure in 1v1, but in 2v2s it's utility is way more limited, quickly hardcountered by stukas (not so strange to see a fast stuka in team games).
