Default Re: Command Vehicles

The only reason I can see to consider command vehicles with BFAs (Big Friggin Aerials) would be to visually mark the command tank of the Soviet 10 tank companies with the platoon command structure or similar units in other oobs. However, I recall that radios and being "in contact" represent a wider range of C&C and morale effects than just having a working radio on net.

Even doing this might not have the desired effect. I ran up a quick AI vs AI game over lunch with a German medium company against a points equivalent force of 2 Soviet 10 tank units with the company commanders replaced by Gazs right under the German guns. Even with their "heads cut off", the Soviets managed to swamp the Germans for a draw.
