Adding to my prevous comment:
Of the Docs I believe I have some kind of clue on how to play, I find Def Doc quite difficult if it is a game with popcap. For some reason I always run into popcap issues with Def Doc.

Re: What are the top 3 doctrines that are hardest to play?
The friends I play with love PE Tank Support and US Armor doctrines. So when playing Axis, I mostly play Blitzkrieg or Defensive Doctrine, but my favorite is Luft. And when playing Allies, I normally opt for CW, either Royal Engineers or Canadians. Hence, for Axis, Propaganda and Scorched Earth are ...

Re: Artillery makes this game unplayable
While I would be totally fine with limiting big howitzers (both stationary and mobile) to 1 per unit, I believe that then stationary artillery should be buffed, but not in terms of output (damage): For static emplacements with a ring of sandbags, I would propose to increase HP For the solo-howitzers...

When playing CW RE, I cannot seem to understand how to upgrade my CW Rifles for the Precision Shot (I can upgrade Bren and Rifle Grenade).
Maybe a button is missing there?

Re: 76mm m7 ATG (HE)
Where does one get the 76mm M7 Anti Tank Gun?
I wanted to try it, but in the US Docs I only find the 76mm M5 as an AT-Gun, the M7 I do not find stand-alone (only on vehicles). And in the CW Docs, there is the 6pounder and the 17 pounder as AT guns.
Thanks!

Re: 95 mm artillery Churchil
I never considered the 95mm Churchill to be so heavily armored, and I play CW RE most often when playing Allied troups. But maybe I just got lucky... Overall I consider CW RE quite strong, so I would be fine with nerfing the 95mm Churchill a bit (preferably in terms of armor or cooldown), although I...

Re: Luftwaffe Glider
My understanding would be, that the glider would replace the LeiG Para-Drop, so while it would be a buff, the Doc would also lose something. Overall I see two ways to go with such a glider: 1) Gebirgs - Falls joint operation: For this, the glider would have to be able to build units in territory not...

Re: 5.3.1 bugs
Would it please be possible to double-check the Sherman Calliope's 75mm gun? It seemed to do wonders against Panther A front armor, subjectvely much better than "regular" Shermans (could also have been pure luck, though).

But if this comes, and it sounds like a plan, please also fix the Officers/Retreat points in Luft.
Both the Gebirgsjäger and the Pioneers have the PE Officer as a retreat point, but seem to get no bonuses from him:

Re: Suggestion: TDs Come With AP Already Equipped
What is actually a TD? For me, when I cast my vote, I thought of TD as any vehicle hat has a big gun (from 3,7cm upwards) and does not have HE rounds. So for me vehicles like StuGs, Comet, Archilles, ... are not something I would see covered here. In other words, I advocate the "free" AP upgrade on...

Re: Doctrinal unlocks
For me "experience", which is required for CP unlocks, is just another resource like manpower, ammo and fuel. Only the method of gathering this resource is different. Hence, I see CP very much as a part of the cost-balancing going on. I do not think it would be a good balance, if in games other than...

For me the ability to reinforce is like any other ability something to be balanced. So I do not believe it would be good to per se reserve it for halftracks.

But the OP seem to be last in the priority list, so this already is quite good, thanks!
