the repair is nice because it essentially lets you prolong your building lives and not bleed extreme amounts of manpower on engineers that get dunked by the volleys of mortar and LEIG 18 spam
IIRC the arty was considered completely useless and so it was removed in favor of letting it have (i think) hold the line
Not really. The fwd hq just gets targeted instead. It's a much bigger target, less hp, more resources have gone into it and has no brace. Easy target for rocket arty.
That version of CB had been nerfed in at least 3 different patches hence its little use. Day 1 version was a constantly on thing that basically ranged the whole map and came online around the time you could get 2 x ISGs.
and how does it counter LEFHs? what does it have in its kit rn? if support emplacements somehow persist until LEFH, which is a miracle by itself, they definitely wont exist after it starts raining down
Precision barrage. 200 muni guaranteed kill on an LEFH.
Sure a mortar pit can survive that long if properly supported. Hell I even got one to last the entire game on Ettelbruck vs ISG/mortar spamming Axis, with teammate help. Close calls but it worked. Katyusha put an end to their light arty.
