[GUIDE] COH2 German Commanders/Doctrines

Updated as of 6/16/2013.  As the game is still in open beta and a lot of people consider the German doctrines underpowered, don't be surprised if they end up changing.


Festung Armor Doctrine

• [2 CP] Panzer Tactician
• Allows your vehicles to instantly deploy smoke, obscuring them from sight from the enemy.  Useful for escaping, or to buy yourself a crucial few seconds to win a tank battle (as long as you can see the enemy tank with another unit you can still fire).
• [3 CP] Hull Down
• [4 CP] Pak 43 Emplacement
• [4 CP] Command Tank
• [6 CP] Railway Artillery Support
• Fires three large explosive rounds at the area.

Festung Support Doctrine

• [2 CP] SdKfz 250/7 Mortar Half-track
• [2 CP] Smoke Bombs
• Summons a bomber that drops (non-damaging) smoke pots onto the field, blocking line of vision.  Useful for protecting your tanks, attacking machine gun/AT gun positions, or just being sneaky.  There's a significant delay (~10 seconds) before it goes off, so you have to think ahead.
• [3 CP] Relief Infantry
• [4 CP] IeFH 18 Artillery
• [6 CP] Sector Artillery

Jaeger Infantry Doctrine
