the 222 would need a massive buff to make it a threat to the stuarts/t70. The stuart have nearly 2x the hp for starter.

normally this would be a job for puma, but it's a doctrine unit. Unless Relic make the puma a default unit....

I have a feeling if they change it in anyway, such as remove the insta build in neutral territory, the commander will become non existent. They would have to add a buff, such as being able to produce units or become a FWD retreat point.

I've used and had FHQ used against me quite a bit in 4v4s and this pretty accurately sums up my experiences with it. Number one suggestion vs FHQ is to not rally all your forces against it and to not build too many mortars as doing either of those are a sure way to loose map control.

The only automatch 4v4 that really has issues with FHQ is La Gleize. Both cutoffs have stone structures adjacent to the capture circle.

On every other map it can be avoided. Simply skirt around the HQ. On Lienne Forest, just ignore it. It is possible to hold the fuel while the enemy has a FHQ in the closest building (on both sides).
Steppes doesn't matter.
City 17 can be a bitch, but you just shift mid and take that VP, hoping that your buddies on the open side secured that portion of the map. If you are starting in the north there is no reason why the enemy should put a FHQ on the big building overlooking the fuel point.
Lanzerath is difficult, but the houses near the fuel points can quickly be brought down with concentrated fire. Often times it takes 3 or all four allied players to shut down fuel. That allows your teammates on the other side of the map to cap the right side, even harassing the enemy fuel if they are highly concentrated.

Your point about the Katyusha and Panzerwerfer isn't necessarily true. With the current tech system, Soviets can obtain rocket artillery much faster than Ostheer. If Pwerfer was T3 like it was in closed beta two and a half years ago (like the voice actors suggest) Soviet v Ostheer games would be significantly more evenly-matched.

Walking stuka is certainly helpful against FHQ. The trick is to push back enemy MGs so your MGs can move up to suppress and pin infantry around the FHQ. Drop incendiary and/or flank enemy mortars, forcing them to move.


FHQ isn't that difficult to beat in 4s. It just takes some lucky indirect fire rng, time, and pressure to force your enemies into one space so your teammates can cap around it.
