Company of Heroes 2: German Commander - Elite Troops Doctrine Review (Flare)
To anybody reading this, take note that you will see many positive reviews here, and I previously would have been one of those reviewers. However, also take note that these glowing endorsements were all written BEFORE Relic released a patch (December 2015) that removed essentially the single most important aspect of the Elite Troops Doctrine, which was the ability to field veteran troops early in the battle. There is absolutely nothing else worth paying for now that this ability has been removed. The Tiger Ace comes far too late in the battle to be of any strategic value and, when it does, it virtually cripples the rest of your fighting force. I've defended Relic and this game's... ahem... extensive additional costs for years, but this is where I'm seriously considering demanding my money back for this particular DLC content. This Commander has been rendered impotent now. Do not bother wasting your money on this junk if you're buying from 2016 onwards.
