Is SimCity a boring game mechanic to play against?

The new advanced emplacements doctrine (a.k.a. Sim City doctrine) has the potential to completely change the objective of the game from strategic tactical infantry and tank play, into a slugfest of lobbing artillery back and forth over hedges and buildings like an ugly game of tennis. My question is not whether or not there is a potential counter to a buildup of emplacements, nor is it whether you can be successful at destroying sim city, but more specifically; Does countering this game mechanic feel like a chore, instead of fun (an interesting challenge)?

Poll is ignoring OKW simcity.
Otherwise, I find it satisfying to crush someones sim-city. So I voted no.

1. Scout with infantry (infantry that can camouflage is good for this).
2. Edge AT guns / tanks to firing range.
3. Support them with infantry.
5. Additionally use indirect fire.
4. Profit.

In 2v2 + it requires teamwork to take it down and usually the team is unable to cooperate to do that so it's impossible to destroy. I personally find it boring.

OKW buildings are nothing like British buildings. I personally don't mind British sim city but its just the new doctrine that has improve defense aswell as 1 button counter barrages

It's simcity nontheless. A medic truck with an leig next to it, a panzerhq next to it with a Pak43 covering it; it's very hard to break. Also it doesn't cost nearly as much supply as UKF simcity so you can still have units to cap the rest of the map.

Jesus dude, OKW sim city is no where compared to British sim city. Complete difference. Only 1 building attackes. The rest are valuable tier buildings. Most players do not put 2 of the 3 anywhere near the front line. Try harder please. You look silly

If Axis get a doctrine like urban assault it will discourage more this kind of play stile in the same way it does commando regiment with air suppremacy

If brace is removed or nerfed, it would be completely fine. It's quite frustrating to see a well organized attack defeated by a single click of a button.

It is very very easy to counter. Sim city will give UK early advantage but later on emplacements are liability. Would have been great if sim city commander had a toggle ability that makes his resource drop to +5 and zero production, and gives his emplacement a health of 2 churchills/ something strong enough to hold against indirect fire. I mean not getting owned by two stuka strikes. Amazing that AVRE commander has auto repair but sim city commander doesn't. Right now sim city commander is the easiest UK commander to play against. I have absolutely no problem in countering his emplacements. I am more worried when I see croc commanders or commandos commander.

If that single button click was all it was needed to defend against said attack, then sorry to disappoint you, it wasn't as well organized as you thought.
Well organized attack would first make opponent use that click of a button, wait 30 seconds and then roll over emplacement.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Yes, and the fact that Relic thinks this kind of utterly skilless playstyle should be just as viable as any other only shows their continued incompetence in designing this game.

Wow, if I would have read that before the respond in the other thread I would have not replied there.
You sir, are just biased. End of the story.

Well I just played against bofors,mortar and forward emplacement(with repair dudes) its just disgusting and very hard to counter at 1v1s especially at shitty maps (you guys know which ones).
Paks,mortars,PANZERS,Railway Arty does nothing against them only you have to do wipe some squads and rush into base.
Im serious...
