The soviet lend lease doctrine currently has a unique tank infantry but they still only get soviet equipment. I think it would be cool if they were more like the Asasault Guards from vanilla and could upgrade things like Thompsons over the regular PPSH. Would give a little more flavor to the lend lease doctrine. Some units get a bazooka would also be interesting since that would be a uniquely powerful AT option on infantry for the Soviets.

Also not suggestion related bu the Churchill and M4A2 that are meant to be build-able in the lend lease doctrine don't appear.

Hey, the Tankovaya Infantry may not get anything Lend-Lease but still have access to unique weaponry that other squads don't get. The Lend-Lease part of the doctrine is based around it¨s vehicles.

On the other hand, i thank you for telling me about the missing vehicles, Since the commander update, i didnt played the doctrine and visibly missed the issue when testing the commanders before that update was released.

The issue will be fixed in next patch that should come out tommorow, thanks again.

So I don't know if you are looking for more OKW commander ideas but it would be interesting to see a commander using captrured allied equipment. Stuff like a Beutepanzer T-34 or captured PPSH smgs could make a new commander.

That's a plan for next doctrine expansion that will come after i find time and mood to finish the doctrines and menu for OKW. It will be part of the Wehrmacht's 'Ostfront Beutepanzer' doctrine that will grant you access to T-34s (probably both 76 and 85 variant, but that depends on once i get to the work), Beutepanzer KV-2 and reworked Osttruppen.

Speaking of Beutepanzers, once i actually get to working on OKW's doctrines, i plan on replicating and reworking the existing scavenge doctrine and make it part of the new doctrines, i plan on including Beutepanzer 'Firefly' for that doctrine.

In my opinion, A OT-34 (Flamerthrower T-34) fits better in Soviet Urban Assault Doctrine than a KV-2 but Breakthrough Doctrine already has a KV-8 so I understand if you don't want to add another flamethrower tank.

Hey, thanks for your idea. However there is already very similiar doctrine and unit present in the mod: Razvedchiki. While i might take some of this to improve the existing unit (Such as upgrades etc.), i dont think i will be making a new doctrine or unit anytime soon as i already have lot of work that has to be done on the upcoming Briish faction.

So you finally made something for UKF, i have been wailing. I went through your lineup of British commander and found a couple of thing i very like such as "Canadian Shocktroop".

On the other hand, i want to propose my ideal for an other British commander .
The commander will represent an Infantry Brigade Group - an actual tactical establishment of the British army at the time:

- 0CP: Field Defense Operation: Unlike in vanila, this allow infantry sections to construct Mg bunker, mine and tank trap instead of emplacements.
- 2CP: Highlanders:
+ a 5 man section with rifle, ability to fire rife grenade and flare (with vet)
+ Can be Upgrade with Scope Rifle or AT rifles.
+ Or if you dont want to make new infantry unit just yet then Royal Fusilier can take this spot.
- 2CP: Forward observation post (From vanila Tactical support regiment)
- 5CP: Hold The Line (vanila ability)
- 7CP: 25 pounder emplacement
- 9CP: Churchill VIII 95mm (From your other commander)

Hey, glad you like it.

Regarding the doctrine, in the next commander expansion, i already have exactly same commander planned, i am in fact gonna use the Royal fusiliers for that, I do aswell plan to include scope rifle upgrade and the boys AT rifles for Rifle Sections as the part of the expansion, will see which one i will use for this one.
Will include hold the line as that one is yet unused in my doctrines (probably with several changes being made to the ability) and once i get the mood i will finaly make the 25 pounder emplacement too.
I do like the 'field defence operation' idea, i'll very probably include it. However i plan to add an heavy artillery strike as the last ability (something on the style of the 'defensive' artilelry wehrmacht has) as the doctrine is supposed to be an defensive equivalent of the 'Mobile Artillery' doctrine.

I do like what you came with, thanks for sharing it. Hope i receive more ideas from you later. :D
