Did any one had more then 1 in a match?
I built one in 1 hour 3v3 game, and after it was destroyed couldn't build a new one.

Most ppl don't even use it.
It requires loads of munitions to use and its in a commander that already requires loads of munitions.
Move and buff the Forward Observation post.
Never made more that 1 ever so can't say.

Requires ambient building, which cannot be repaired;
Requires 300 manpower and 60 fuel to convert said ambient building;
Abilities require munitions;
Abilities can only be targeted in a limited range of said ambient building that requires 300mp 60f in building that cannot be repaired;
Equals worthless ability. At least Soviets' Forward Headquarters cost only a one-time building conversion has permanent medics plus buff radius.

It is situational, in 3v3 with this commander you might end up with loads of ammunition to use, I used it do destroy OKW trucks with the arty, and the recon to get vision for firefly.
I do agree that the inability to repair the building renders it to be not cost efficient.
Also the inability of "scavenge" engineers to reclaim abandoned weapons is frustrating.

You can have as many as you want.
The abilities don't share cool downs between the buildings, so what I used to do in 4v4s is buy 2 or 3of these, and use each arty/air strike multiple times
Of course this only works in like 4v4 where you can build muni caches to float muni like crazy before 10cp and rely on your teammates. Once you hit 10cp and call all the strikes your munitions will be RIP. But when it works, it means gg because you do multiple strafes, recon sweeps, AND artillery cover at once. Combined with a team push..pretty lulzy

Hope there are buildings close by. Also, they can just retreat then come back once all your munis are gone.
It would be fun to call in multiple offmao strikes tho

It could certainly use a cost reduction (to 100/20?) or some passive bonus.
They can, you just have to destroy the weapon with an AT gun first.

I think a good rule for balance suggestions is this:
"If you can't personally mod it in and you haven't met anyone who has, don't suggest it."

If you have a few muni caches and/or have salvaged multiple vehicles, and on the right maps, it can certainly be useful. It's definitely best used in the late game when fuel is a little more irrelevant.
You can use the abilities slightly outside of the building's range but you have to target something.

the range leaves it lacking. Also as others pointed out, the Muni price for everything is high.

Its one of the least cost efficient abilities in the whole game, it makes soviet FHQ look like a deal of a year.
Getting it up requires too much, operating it requires too much in a doctrine that already takes a tool on munition.

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.

Ah yes forward observation point. Because who doesn't want to pay a bunch of manpower and fuel to use full priced call-ins within a limited area.
Seriously though, the call-ins should be heavily discounted.

Artillery cover should had been part of one of the skills from the FOP.
Cost of building, resistance and cost of skills could then be adjusted.
Been able to use Forward assemblies as FOP should be another possibility as well.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.
