Can we please add HP to on-map howitzers?

simply clicking a stuka dive bomb or IL-2 bombing run on a leif/152 howitzer shouldn't delete it from the map imo

It would be one thing if you could protect your emplacements with some kind of low cost AA unit, but the stuka cant be shot down (even though a plane in a dive was vulnerable) and Ostheer has to build an Ostwind which is a significant investment just for AA

The howitzer itself should survive stuka dives and IL-2 runs with some HP left, and should only be destroyed with combined arms + offmap. Obviously the biggest offmaps should still take them out due to cost.

IMO, no. because nothing should be done to encourage more artillery usage. If you want to use arty, counterpick your commander to do so, IE pick it if you know there is no IL2 or stuka dive bomb.

Thats a problem in team games but in 1vs1 its fine IMO.
Since the CAS nerf there is actually no real threat anymore.

all howies have 4 crews what i think is they should able to reinforce themselves and heal crew health when not in combat or have crew repair ability to increase its survival every time you look at your vet 2-3 howies or pack43 with only tinny bit health left is, just make want to save it, but

OKW can't heal its Pak43 as only on field heal is SP's medic box which need units to pick it up. pak43 crew can't pick up anything and no way to reinforce

SU have no healing outside the base what so ever but can reinforce with HT

OH and USF is the only faction have both battlefield healing and mobile reinforcements but USF have no art piece run by man

UKF have battlefield heal but useless for its emplacements as UKF emplacement have no crew health.

They should die to 1-clicks but they are also completely impotent at the moment. 600mp and significantly worse performing than all rocket artillery but also MUCH easier to counter due to no longer being able to built in base sectors and immobile.
