Favourite Doctrines to play as
Figured it'd be a fun discussion to exchange experience per different people's taste. So what are everyone's favorite doctrines to use in the mod?

Mine are:
OKW: Breakthrough, then Fortifications. Panzerfüsiliers and Jagdtiger are beasts. Artillery gives peace of mind too and the PAK gun works wonders on defense.

Fallschirmjäger have a special place in my heart due to their mobility and sneakyness, but I can't justify the rest of the Luftwaffe doctrine just because of them. Feuersturm is enjoyable, should play it some more on urban maps, but it needs a AT buddy.

OST: Can't make up my mind between the two Elefant doctrines, but they are even more amazing next to German mechanized or the Joint Operations one, for the visibility they offer for indirect fire. JO one would be my fave on any map with chokepoints, where I want to have static reinforcement.

What are your faves for your style? Perhaps that would inspire other people to try out new tactics!

OKW Fortification, OST Strategic Reserve before nerf, now Festung Armor & Defensive
I dig in along the middle, spam 2cm emplacement, MG team and slit trench, mortar/LeFH to counter mortar, Hetzer/Pz3(was Puma) to counter early vehicle and misplaced mg bunkers, then Pak43 and Repair Bunker to complete the build, when I'm done watching CPU face bashing I build Tigers
AG blob backed by 250 into C.Panther was the only thing that could shake my simcity ass

mortar/LeFH to counter mortar,

Of the ones you point, only OKW one has LeFH. How to you effectively answer katyusha/arty with your OST? I found panzerwerfers need numbers to be effective 1-tap answers.

OST-wise, are the Pz IV j and Stug III E nice? Defensive doctrine I can see the fortifications with 2cm emplacements being nice, but I haven't bought the doctrine, so would like some insight. Seeing the mods adds the Elefant to the Festung Armor doctrine makes me smile. This discovery will probably replace my Elefant pick, as it's hard to pass on the advantages.

Defensive Doctrine is GOATed simply because it has Ostruppen. Despite the nerf, Elite Ostruppen are still immortal past a certain vet level, and with an OKW buddy you can arm them with 7 panzerschreks and watch them delete the entire soviet army singlehandedly.

Yes, either more werfer or Panther dive.
