this mod is already more than pure eastern front (reward units, balancing,...). just make them their own faction, similar to the classic WM/US layouts. so people who like to play classic style rather than CW style can play brits

In broadcasted games we saw Stug III as main battle tank, now it this layout its PzIII again.
What is changed from then to now 

in broadcasts stug3 was indeed neutral, but it was stated that this might be changed back to panzer3 being neutral again. all just WIP

as for the panzer IV, i personally like it, but i also understand that some people don't want to see "just another panzer IV". so like neo said, something cool could be added to it or it could be replaced by something different. i would suggest replacing it with a "dicker max" (tank destroyer based on panzer4 chassis), something like a stronger marder - but that would be some kind of prototype unit (only 2 were used on eastern front) and i don't know if that would be a good idea but if the kugelblitz in...

[...]I'm curious what has changed with the doctrines for Ostheer.  [...]

in the latest replays it was like this, but may have changed already

Army Fortress Troops:
left
- 2CP: Improved Fortifications (Pioniers can build Panzernests and Foxholes)
- 2 CP: Ambush Tactics (Infantry cloak in cover, gain first strike bonus, slow recloak after attacking)
- 4 CP: leFH 18 (stationary 105mm Howitzer)
right
- 2 CP: Counter Attack (in friendly sectors: +speed, - received accuracy; in enemy sectors: small + damage)
- 1 CP: Field Hospital (upgrade to collect wounded, each 4 wounded give a manpower bonus)
- 5 CP: Elefant (Precesion Shot: locks tank, can't move, can't turn, gives some bonus ?; can be called again if lost)

Army Support Troops:
left
- 1 CP: Storch recon plane
- 3 CP: Brandenburgers (airdropped; build:?, ?, "false radio" to disrupt enemy production ; abilities: follow unit, demo charge, "annection" instantly cap a neutral sector)
- 3 CP: aces high (sdk 263 can call in dive bombers)
right
- 2 CP: paradrop fuel, munitions and heavy weapons
- 2 CP: confederation support (opel blitz can call in supply drops -> a JU52 will drop supplies depending on the sector where it's called in)
- 3CP: confederate mechanised support (call in foreign battlegroup with some infantry and tanks), e.g. 3 tanks and 1 "alpinis" infantry (upgrade: MP40, ability: ?)

What does 'demo charges' for sturmpioneers means? Is it something like gathering resources from damaged vehicles?

No, it is like a bomb with enought dmg to destroy a bunker.

O, good.
And guys, as I've understood, unlock assault pool will forbid building a support pool at all, I'm right?

like Lord Rommel said, you can only have 1 pool active at a time, you can however switch to the other pool and back again. so the units of the other pool are disabled only temporarily not for the entire game. pools are chosen globaly so building a second (let's say) tier2 building means you can just chose 1 pool, not 2 at the same time.
hope that helps shwepps

About the foreign troops, what role should they be used for?

if you are referring to the "confederate battle group", guess that depends on which units you are given

you had a tiger as doctrine tank, so the sturmpanzer is a call in for army elite troops?

I can abuse Fire Focus if it has no cooldown.

it has a cooldown. and not just a few seconds, so no abuse
