Please use this thread to discuss or submit ideas for the OKW Commander Revamp
If you want to submit a full proposal, here are a few guidelines.
- Please choose commanders that you feel can realistically become competitive with a few good changes. Some commanders are probably beyond redemption at this point. We are aiming to revamp two commanders per faction.
- Reminder that all proposed changes, must be preexisting units or abilities currently in the live game.
- Suggested changes should not detract from the commanders given theme.
- Please provide the rationale behind your proposed changes, and how they will improve said commander.
- Where applicable, provide costs, CP values, or other details regarding particular change(s)

puesto que hay veces que se agrupan 4 OKW en un mismo equipo en 4v4, y desde que se ha bajado el OP. a el OKW esta faccion necesita construir fuel caches o la convercion de municion a conbustible. ustedes quitaron la opcion de convercion porque al inicio la faccion era OP. ahora ya no.
Hi.
It would be nice to make some improvements for Special operations:
1) Replace radio silence with german sniper if it's possible. Because OKW only one fraction without such cool unit.
2) Add an ambush camouflage to "Infrared StG44 Package"
3) Replace artillery flares with something like "Tank Hunters assault group" - Panzergrenadiers with 2 shreks and SdKfz 250 with reinforce ability.
4) Add goliath to Infiltration Tactics.
En la doctrina de fortificaciones deberían de implementar la artillera Hummel o wespe ya que la artillería fija leFH18 es presa facial para la artillera Estado estadounidense y británica, ya que esas 2 facciones tienen artillería autopropulsada, también vendría bien sustituir el pak 43 por el flak 18, ya que el pak 43 es muy facil de destruir con simples andanadas de artillera o artillería incendiaria, a comparación del caño antitanque británico que puede apuntalarse, resiste mas y tiene un angulo de disparo mas ancho y es menos lento.
El cañón flak 18 debería de tener la forma de apuntalarse.
Que se tengan los mismos puntos de comandancia e igual en recursos
O en cambio que la artillería leFH18 tenga la habilidad de moverse por medio de un remolque (camión).
En la doctrina de avance vendría bien implementar también la artillería lefh18 o un hummel, sustituyéndola por la opción de artillería de asalto, ya que la artillería de asalto no causa daño, ya que si es un sector grande la artillería solo dispara en la parte de la bandera y no daña a las unidades dentro del sector.
Que se tengan los mismos puntos de comandancia e igual en recursos, en caso de que se aplicara un hummel que sea un 10 o 15 puntos mas de combustible
En la doctrina de blindados de elite, sustituir "comandantes panzer" por el comando panther, ya que si hablamos de blindados de elite, el comando panther le daría apoyo de fuego a los tanques y por supuesto, los blindado tendrían un líder de elite. El comandante no logra el objetivo deseado, ni siquiera se puede aplicar en el jagdpanzer como lo tiene implementado el su85, dándole una visiona mas amplia y aparte la andanada de artilleria, los proyectiles tardan mucho tiempo en caer.
Que se tengan los mismos puntos de comandancia e igual en recursos
Otra cosa, vendría muy bien añadirles a los tanques panther una visión de infrarrojos para mayor alcance en disparo (que no sea unidad de doctrina o habilidad) que sea de base ese tanque, que se pueda obtener desde el camión de blindados, ya que el panther en el juego se tiene como carro de combate para destruir tanques enemigos y no como carro de combate de apoyo, si el panther en el company of heroes 2 va estar en esa modalidad, debe de tener la capacidad de disparar a largas distancias como los m36 jackson y los sherman firefly, ya que esos antitanques tienen torreta y su movilidad es buena a comparación del jagdpanzer es fácil de flanquear y su movilidad es horrible.
Al camión de médicos deberían de quitarle la opcion de resguardar unidades en retirada, ya que el camión al ser destruido y para volver a remplazarlo gasta muchos puntos efectivos y combustible, debería de haber algo relacionado a un punto de retirada como los estadounidenses o a una pequeña estructura como la de los británicos, por ejemplo los estadounidenses pueden cambiar de lugar el punto de retirada fácilmente.
O dar una opción al camión de médicos, que puedan cambiar de lugar y otra cosa, que el camión cure en general a todos los soldados, sustituyan los médicos por un aura de curación, ya que las facciones aliadas tienen la opcion de aura de curación y esa habilidad cura mas rápido a las unidades y por ende las unidades pueden regresar mas rápido a la batalla.
Tanques con la misma capacidad de daño que los t 34/85 y los tanques sherman aliados y que se puedan obtener en masa, detener tanques aliados y rusos en masa es casi imposible, aparte de que tambien causan mucho daño a la infantería. Por que a la facción Alemana no se le puede obtener tanques en masa debido a su alto espacio de población por tanque y aparte tienen un bajo daño a infantería los sherman y los T34/85 es como si disparara un tiger a un pelotón, causan mucho daño a la infantería.
Since we are doing two commanders: I suggest changing Elite Armor and Scavenge.
For Elite Armor, most of its abilities aren't that great. Signal Relay is meh with a high muni cost and also you got a kubelwagen to scout. Emergency repair only repairing critical damage isn't that useful mostly because the panzer is in intense combat. Panzer commander isn't that useful in the sense of having a very expensive mortar barrage and thats it.
What I would change:
1: Replace the signal relay with a Sdkfz 250 or the Sdkfz 251 with panzergrenadiers with shreks
2: To make the Panzer commander more useful let him have that emergency repair ability and more sight
3: Add in a spearhead ability like the King Tiger has for the Panzer IVs and Panthers. Let the mgs suppress for a certain amount of time and let the turret be locked in place but with extended sight
For Scavenge here are the changes I would make:
1: Replace Infiltration tactics with: captured smg upgrades like the ppsh41s
2: Replace Ostwind with captured tanks: shermans or t34s with german markings
Either way its great you guys are allowing the player to voice our ideas.
I think that the flamenpanzer commander Hetzer should also serve as an anti-tank agent that triggers normal
Commanders that should be revamped:
Elite Armor Doctrine
Overwatch Doctrine
Elite Armor Doctrine:
Overwatch Doctrine:
Maybe you have recognized, I don't like to play much around with costs. I think many abilities limit themselves and would therefore be balanced without much channging needed.
And if I could make a wish: Please buff Special Operations "Radio Silence" ability! In current state, it only deactivates the minimap of 1(!) enemy. If u play 2vs2 or with even more enemies, it's almost worthless. On top of that, just disabling the minimap is not much worth at all. My suggestion: Increase its cost from 35 to 50 ammo. For that price you can deactivate whole enemy's team minimap AND deactivate all warning sounds. We already had such an ability long time ago in Company of Heroes Online, you remember? That would give this commander a great new wepaon with no much changing or tuning. To make sure this won't be too strong you could increase its cooldown to a few minutes.
Completly agree the last post for overwatch doctrine, For me this commander cost too much ammo and must be buffed. Strumtiger should be rebuff because he is useless now... (Why have you removed the ability of shells to cross obstacles?, pls "readd" at least that).
Elite armor
Emergency repair same usf
Sturmtiger switch with Command panther
@VonManteuffel If we got to vote on these, you'd have my vote. Very sound ideas on how to fix these commanders.
The Sturmoffizier needs a major re-work.
Remove the combat bonuses for enemy units from his abilities. No other officer unit has them. Why should he? What good is an ability that is designed to hurt a player as much as his opponent?
Give him veterancy levels. Again, no other officer unit is like this. Make him like the Command Panther - Level 1 gives a veteran ability; all other levels affect units in his command aura but not him.
Give him more abilities. With only 2 abilities, he's unusually inept for a senior front-line officer.
Give him a weapons upgrade. Again, he's a front-line officer, expected to be in the thick of the fighting, yet he can only get better weapons by scavenging them.
I would like to see this unit become more like the Wehrmacht Artillery Officer (in a word, useful).
@VonManteuffel I also agree with him, those two commanders need it, Overwatch and Elite amour
Overwatch Doctrine 2.0
Concept: Complementing an aggressive defensive strategy, Command Halftracks supported by Infantry can effectively establish independent forward overwatch perimeters utilizing advance warning systems and defensive countermeasures to deter enemy counter-attacks on forward HQs and supply lines. Sturmpioneers can deploy Goliath Tracked Mines in key defensive positions while Infantry coordinate with Command Halftrack Elements and Artillery to defend forward sectors and critical cut-offs.
[0CP]
Defense Grid
Forward Command Trucks (Medic HQ/Mechanized HQ/Flak HQ) can be upgraded with forward receivers and Logistic Counter-measures, decreasing vulnerability to cut-offs.
These are both exclusive upgrades and only 1 can be chosen from the two per Command Halftrack. They do not interfere with HQ-related upgrades (Medics, Forward Retreat Point, Pionieres) Logistics Counter-measure is limited to only 1 Halftrack.
Forward Receivers (No Change: All enemy units within 70 range of the Halftrack is revealed on the minimap) – Costs: 10 munitions
Logistics Counter-measure: Forward Command Truck becomes an independent Supply zone and players can get resources connected to the sector the Command Halftrack has set up in even when cut off from the main HQ sector. (Similar to CoH1's British HQ Command Truck) - Costs: 200 manpower, 20 fuel
Note:
[1CP]
Early Warning Counter-Measure
All captured sectors are now equipped with warning flares. Infantry squads (Volksgrenadiers, Sturmpioniers/Obersoldaten) can now lay Tripwire Flares in Friendly Territory. (Soviet version – 10 munitions)
[2CP]
Goliath Tracked Mine
Sturmpionieres can now assemble and deploy Goliath Tracked mines on the field. (100 munitions, 20 seconds assembly)
Goliath Tracked Mines might be capable of movement camouflage (Raketenwerfer 43 variant)
Goliaths can be detected by Minesweepers mine detection range but cannot be disabled. [No Change from current patch]
[2CP]
Overwatch - 30 seconds
Essentially an enhanced "For the Fatherland" Ability with added traits to sight and movement speed.
All Infantry squads and weapon teams gain the following traits in Friendly Sectors. – (70 munitions)
All Armour gain the following traits
Additionally, Infantry squads and Armour within 70 range of Command Halftracks gain additional bonuses
Note: 70 range is the same range as Forward Receivers as a guideline.
[8CP]
LeFH-18 Artillery Platform
LeFH-18 Field Howitzer Platforms can be constructed by Sturmpionieres.
Forward Receivers are a pretty excellent tool that allows you to take the initiative of enemy movement near your command elements and also promote forward HQ placement.
The additional exclusive option of allowing you to forgo Forward Receivers with a secondary supply point can allow you to firmly establish a forward supply line of nearby adjacent sectors that become vulnerable to cut-offs. If this is impossible, an alternative would be to provide Command Halftracks with the british "Improved Fortifications" upgrade that provides + 20% Health, + 10% armour.
The addition of allowing infantry to build trip-wire flares in friendly sectors allow increased map awareness in conjunction with sector flares and also allow you to respond to flanking maneuvers the enemy might use. The handicap of only allowing trip-wire flares to be built in friendly territory (Not Neutral/Enemy Territory) is to maintain the thematic style of the Doctrine and its ability to oversee friendly sectors.
I am impartial in allowing sWs Halftracks to build their own Goliath tracked mines and I am okay with keeping it as it is. The alternative I am suggesting is to allow Pioneers to build Goliath Tracked mines of their own instead of Halftracks so that these Goliaths can be deployed anywhere on the map quickly and discreetly.
Overwatch is a defensive ability that holds its roots with "For the Fatherland" with a few modifications. It now allows Infantry to see further in friendly territory and allows armour to respond to attacks in friendly territory at a faster pace. Additionally, it also projects an exclusive defensive circular 70 range sight and movement buff to all allied units near command tracks, regardless of territorial claim or player. (Not blocked by enemy territory)
The LeFH-18 Field Howitzer serves as a potent late-game option to aid in offensive operations and push out of your defensive perimeters with armour and infantry. Counter-battery fire can also indirectly defend your halftracks from enemy artillery.
I am also impartial about the original Overwatch Stuka Strafing Run since it does two things, cluster bombing x2 and Infantry strafe run for 250 munitions. In a Commander that is already very munitions-intensive, I believe LeFH Artillery can serve that role just as well using fuel and manpower instead of munitions.
Elite Armoured Doctrine 2.0
Concept: Tank crews are an essential component to the Oberkommando. Battle-hardened Panzer Divisions equipped with the latest radio technology and armaments are now capable of increased fieldcraft and situational awareness. Signal Decryption allows armour to effectively detect and avoid enemy infantry formations while specialized ammunition can enhance the effectiveness of German armour against a multitude of situations. Scouting elements from Light armour units can provide advanced field reconnaissance to scan for enemy weakpoints. When an enemy weakpoint is identified, Sturmtiger artillery saturation can be called in to make an opening for Armoured Infantry and Panzers to breakthrough enemy lines.
[2CP]
Signal Decryption
All armoured units now possess advanced radio decryption. Unlocks “Infantry Awareness” ability on all Oberkommando West T2/T3/T4/T5 offensive vehicles [Kubelwagen, Flak-Halftrack, Lynx II, Puma, Panzer IV, Jagdpanzer IV, Panther, King Tiger]. [10 munitions – 20 seconds]
[2CP]
Elite Vehicle Crews
All Oberkommando West vehicles are now capable of decrewing into Vehicle Crews which can repair and veteran Vehicle Crews can perform critical repairs on their own armour. [Identical to USF Vehicle Crews]. Replaces Emergency Repairs.
[4CP]
Specialized Ammunition [HE/HEAT Rounds]
Panzer IVs, Jagdpanzer IVs, Pumas and Panther Tanks are now issued Tungsten-core HE and HEAT ammunition to better combat infantry and armour in different situations.
[5CP]
Spotting Scopes
Kubelwagens and Lynx II Tanks can now be retrofitted with Spotting Scopes. [Ostheer variant] – 30 munitions.
[11CP]
Sturmtiger
The Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 380mm RW61 can now be called-in.
As with the original Elite Armoured Doctrine, the commander has a very focused ability pool that facilitates armour deployment and survivability.
1. Radio Decryption
2. Elite Vehicle Crews
3. Specialized Ammunition
4. Spotting Scopes
5. Sturmtiger
@MSAF_Unbekannt_15 Spotting scopes for the two weakest vehicles only in place of Panzer Commander for your best tanks? Really? How does that fit with the Elite Armor doctrine? The rest seems fine but that sounds wrong to me. I'd rather see the normal Spotting Scopes replace Signal Relay but, that's just me.
[Note: I don't have this commander but, if he had this upgrade, I wouldn't want him.]
I'm only providing Spotting Scopes to the light vehicles of the game because the heavier vehicles already have the very cheap Radio Decryption "Infantry awareness" ability which is literally a maphack available to the ostheer right now. Giving them spotting scopes nullify this option.
Kubelwagens on the other hand are powerful scouts that can see further and detect snipers up to 70 range in vet 1 than normal infantry and lynx tanks can camouflage while moving at vet 1. These are some of the best recon units in the game with the longest sightlines and Spotting Scopes allow them to coordinate with both infantry and armour, increasing their core usefulness to the late game. You'd be surprised how far spotting scopes can allow your camouflaged lynx tank to see (especially at vet 3)
Granting spotting scopes to these two units allow you to see a lot further using some of the cheapest units in the game.
Remember, commander design has to be versatile while being specialized. It has to accommodate different playstyles, while being viable for both infantry and armour, regardless of what its theme is.
In this case, Spotting Scopes and Radio Decryption also aid infantry and Artillery but relies on elite armour (literally since vet 1 unlocks a lot of good abilities for every armoured unit) to be of either help.
Trust me, Panzer Commander is not worth its cost.
@MSAF_Unbekannt_15 I'm with @VonManteuffel on this one. Make Panzer Commander better, not get rid of it.
I get where you're coming from though. Giving the Lynx an additional Spotting Scope ability is very appealing; but, I would think it's easier (and makes more sense to me) to incorporate it as an extra veteran ability than to modify Spotting Scopes to apply to only two vehicles. Alternatively, make it so the Lynx's spotting range gets a boost when it's camouflaged but not moving (sort of like the T-70 spotting mode). This would be non-doctrinal so it would improve the Lynx no matter which commander you had. That's a change I would like to see.
@PanzerFutz
I did have alternative ideas of having Radio Decryption replaced with an upgradable OKW version of Radio Net as a replacement for Panzer Commander. (+10% Speed, +10% Veterancy Gain and +10% Accuracy). This upgrade will be exclusive with Spotting Scopes, and you can only upgrade one of the two alongside Coaxial MGs.
This was my secondary ability composition for Elite Armoured Doctrine.

@PanzerFutz
2nd Attempt at Replying, Forum ate my reply.
I did contemplate on removing Radio Decryption and just replacing it with an OKW version of Radio Net. Essentially, a replacement for Panzer Commander that is mutually exclusive with Spotting Scopes.
This is my alternative build-up.

This was my alternative build-up for Elite Armoured Doctrine 2.0 should the first one receive negative reception.
@MSAF_Unbekannt_15 I like it. Elite abilities that a player can customize to suit their playstyle. Making them individual upgrades that lock each other out also distinguishes them from the Ostheer. I would be happy with either version now (yours or VonManteuffel's). Nice.
Scavenge Doctrine

105mm Howitzer Barrage. A barrage of 105mm artillery shells will be fired at the target location. The number of shells fired depends on your current stored munitions.
Scavenge doctrine has a very important idea: Finding resources for yourself and not giving the opportunity to get resources to the enemy. The ability to increase the inflow of resources at the expense of other capabilities will allow OKW to play "more tactically" and place HQ at the important positions, preventing building all 3 HQ's at one point. Jaeger infantry and Destroying the points ability will divert enemy attacks from general directions to the most critical points. Players will begin to thinking about building cahces or placing a defensive measures to control specific points and preventing them to "blob" strategy. Also, thanks to this changes it will allow Ostheer to use Encirclement Doctrine more often and more successfully.

**[11CP] **
Call-in Sturmtiger.
A short range heavy assault gun equipped with a 380 mm rocket launcher that can tackle defenses,structures,or even armored vehicle.
Elite Armoured Doctrine implies the maximum use of armored vehicles with an expanded range of abilities. Panzer tactician allows OKW to avoid being focused by enemy AT units and the Panzer commander can further increase the potential of destroying the specific targets. The NahVtdgW grenade launchers can protect your armored vehicles from being "rushed" by enemy infantry with AT weapons or you can use it to clear buildings with any units in it.

I was wondering if it was possible to tune 'Radio Silence' such that it disables the UI of your units when seen through the enemy's screen instead of disabling your units on the minimap for the enemy to see while the ability is active.
This allows you to effectively..
I was also contemplating on just switching Radio Silence to Radio Intercept [Soviet version]

Hi, I propose to introduce a new commander of "Fighter Tanks" for OKW.
[0CP]
(Passive)
Engineers can build an 88-mm gun Flak 18 / 37
[2CP]
Disguise. Disguises tanks and tank destroyers in the form of camouflage net. Increases the distance that is necessary for the detection of technology, also after a shot, the technician quickly disappears from the enemy's field of vision.
[3CP]
Heavy infantry with the "Pantsershrek". A detachment of 5 people, 3 people armed with MP-44, two other "Pantsershrek", the detachment can also arrange tank ambushes, has Panzerfaust and anti-tank grenades.
[5CP]
Call of the Half-Track Sd.Kfz 251/22. Armed with a 75-mm gun PaK-40.
[6CP]
Call of the Hs-129 B-3 attack aircraft. Armed with a 75-mm gun, capable of fighting enemy armored vehicles.
[9CP]
Call of the heavy fighter Jagdpanther G2 tanks. Armed with 88-mm gun Pak-43, able to fight any armored vehicles of the enemy.
@Ace_Panzerwaffe
[0CP]
Developers would need to model a Flak 88 from scratch. Pak 43 AT guns are already powerful and available to the OKW. These guns are already better since they defy all logic and can shoot through world objects as well. The sWs 20mm Flak cannon and AA-Halftrack already fill the niche of Anti-Air.
[2CP]
Panzer IIs and Jagdpanzer VIs can already camouflage and can also move while camouflaged. And they are non-doctrinal options. Giving camouflage options for the Panther, King Tiger, Panzer IV, Puma and Halftrack variants is over the top.
[3CP]
2x Panzerschrecks and an engine snare and anti-infantry is a big no-no to the Balance Department. This isn't as profound as Bazookas or PIATs simply because they don't have the penetration nor alpha damage. But on the axis, this is too much. This makes the core infantry like the Sturmpioneer, Raketenwerfer and Volksgrenadier even more obsolete because this unit can do the job of all three, with the exception of repairs.
[5CP]
Sdkfz. 251/22 does not have much to give to the table considering it is outclassed by the Puma with 360 Degree turret rotation and even Raketenwerfer crews which can go invisible and retreat.
