Give OKW Hummel

Stuka is made for killing, garrisons, team weapons and blobs, it is not a counter to anything. Even a not braced emplacement won't die to a single stuka salvo and would be repaired before the stuka barrage is charged again. LeiG is the best emplacement counter available to axis factions already. Its non-doctrinal, affordable in manpower cost, costs no fuel other than most emplacements and is buildable early on. The only thing thats wrong about this line up is the british commander with counter artillery fire in the smaller game modes like 1vs1 ans 2vs2. But they already searching for a solution as you can read in the current balance preview mod notes. So OKW doesn't need Hummel to counter emplacement.

LeiG still get outranged by mortar pit pathetically tho. and you need at least 2 to reliably dish out DPS to actually kill it, which makes it so stupid.

Yeah, you are right about that in both cases. But despite this aspects in the end OKW still comes out on top in an artillery battle (if we put aside that one doctrinal broken ability that hopefully will be fixed with the balance mod) and your LeiGs are not only useful versus emplacements so you can use them further one. I personally think a british player who builds one very defensive mortar for support and plays aggressive with mobile troops otherwise is a lot more dangerous for OKW than a british sim city player. The one negative thing about sim city isn't that it is hard to play against but boring, because it is so static.

Ostheer on the other side is a lot weaker versus sim city, because their mortar really sucks in a mortar battle versus emplacement. So if a faction has a need for a mobile howitzer as a counter to emplacements it is Ostheer.
