Best commanders for each faction and why?

[SPOOKY_]

What do you think are the best for each faction?

[BobOnix]

that's a tough one well for OKW im torn between 2 want to say Overwatch doctrine and Special operations.

Overwatch:
Great four man squad "JLI" (although requires you to be more aware of engagements)
early warning systems for map awareness
a defensive buff that also buffs infantry speed.
Lefh Artillery (although spread can be annoying when it hits it hits hard)
Sector assault (great area denial tool)
and when it hits its target the remote explosives "goliaths" can quite literally win you the game.

Spec ops
Radio silence messes with other players maps making you invisible to them.
infiltration tactics: each squad member throws a grenade, great for wiping squads, clearing building and getting squads on the retreat path.
IR stg44 package for obersoldaten (need i say more)
Great Recon
and a command panther that can hold its own and also buffs nearby vehicles.

Have you ever gotten any use out of radio silence past the small speed bonus? I basically only use it for that

The ability is just stupid. It entirely depends on wether or not you play against someone using the tactical map as a main component of their play. Then it just screws them over big time. But against someone how doesn't utilize it, that part of the effect is completely nullified.

Best commander is humans. AI clearly not as good as some humans.

Me too dumb to be inhibited by radio spies, not even know button for map.

Btw why didn't you specify a mode though? Good 1vs1 commanders can be horrible in anything else and vice versa.

1v1, 2v2

there is a best commander for every situation and playstyle.

But some are clearly more superior than others (e.g. Fortified Armor performs Festung's function much better)

i prefer elite armor on 2v2
