In a world where 2 man/women sniper scout squads patrolling the battlefield in clown cars and shock troops hiding in every bush, the artillery officer is charging into battle in full decorated uniform armed with only his Luger pistol.
Saving his fellow grenadiers and tanks from maxim and tank destroyer fire by calling down smoke. Inspiring them and make them shoot better just by his aura of pure a badass.
Please give him a sword and he will be as cool as the Lord Commissar from DoW 2 Retribution.
Drive him closer, he want to shoot them with his pistol!
Artillery officer - Hail to the badass of the CoH 2 universe

The Ost-Truppen Artillery Officer needs a sword, so he can become total badass!
The soviets need commissars as conscript upgrade.

Haha he truly is an interesting unit!
I just wish his pistol were a little more deadly and he could use another veteran ability! Or his smoke calling a bit faster to arrive.
But overall he is really great and underestimated.

This is now one of my favourite threads. Not a troll, qq or flame to be seen. 
Made my day. Give him that sword!

+1 of course. Wasn't this a selling point early on for this game?

Too bad his squad can't pick up any weapons and/or unlock LMG42s/G43

i use him all the time and always disappointed. The aura has such a small radius and very short duration and long cooldown. Plus whatever bonus he gives is barely noticeable. 80 munitions to recharge artillery defeats the point of having on map arty anyway. Id rather wait for arty cool down which for axis is fairly short, than use precious munitions. Any thing that i would need to barrage non stop 3 times in a row would probably insta kill the officer if he got close. If anything i tend to use him more for a quick call in squad to recrew things. Thats the most useful thing I can find for him. Maybe his smoke could do some good but havent tried it much yet
He needs a passive aura to be useful, anything less he is just as useless as the vcoh officer.

I haven't used the VCoH officer before, but in a few casts, I've seen force retreat from the officer used nicely

But he can man AT guns, had an officer using a Zis-3 backed up by another officer.
Does someone know if the arty target ability works on captured ZIS-3?

People are forgetting the Aura effects tanks, and that he has on demand huge smoke cover at 30 Munitions a pop.
