German Mechanized has always been a subtle but interesting choice. Jaeger infantry was amazing when you could have the Mg42 AND the G43 but since you can't anymore what's the point? FS has the best artillery in the entire game but if you want it that badly then play with Defensive Doctrine. These three bad commanders have a poor mix of powers or were nerfed to oblivion. You should probably never ever play with Festung Support btw (or Jaeger infantry or German Infantry). The only problem with FA is that it lacks an airstrike.įestung armor is still good (notice most of the good doctrines have smoke?). FA has smoke with the Elefant and you can use it with the command tank (both of which you can hull down). Regardless JA has a very nicely balanced kit (the stuka bomb is nice b/c no flares) and you can chain it off the recon plane if you need to kill a static artillery unit. Jaeger armor/Fortified armor are both decent although the Elefant has been somewhat nerfed to make the JT more attractive (lol that's a good joke relic). Be aware you have no map support attack (airstrike/artillery) If you like playing with 2/5 great powers you can stop here. The stun grenades on top of the rifle grenade used to be brilliant. You also get the G43 downgrade with this pack. The Tiger Ace has been nerfed 3 times now (less dmg resistance, requires more CP, and no longer has stun shot). Elite training was really cool and stormtroopers are not. Finally the G43 downgrade has been pathetic compared to the Mg42 for more than a year (you don't ever have a need to use the G43 instead unless you want a weapon and cant afford anything else).Įlite troops has been nerfed into oblivion. You should not lose enough infantry squads to make that power viable. The movement speed might be useful about once a match but less so now that you can partner with an OKW player and hang out at his hospital. This is in stark contrast to a commander like Lightning War where in my opinion you have 2-3 completely useless powers. He has a very well rounded kit with the mortar HT (very good against sturdier mortar teams), smoke, recon plane, Tiger and the anti infantry bomb. It has never been nerfed (other than limit to 1 on Tiger tanks) and has 5 very good powers. Spearhead is probably the best Ostheer commander right now overall.
For example sometimes I liked to play with Spearhead, Storm and Jaeger Armor. I highly suggest having three commanders that will play in a completely different fashion. You need varied kits that will let you dictate the flow of tech/combat. Why? Because you should pick your commander as a response to counter the enemy. Something to note is that you don't need a single good commander you need three.
