Is COH2 played competitively?

Snowballing. The player with the advantage keeps the advantage. It becomes an uninteractive dps race where everyone spams indirect fire. THATS my point.

Also, what about tank main guns then?

Well, the main issue there is indirect fire. Indirect fire/long range weapons arent an issue in other games because you just blob up to them and take them out. But HMGs/suppression are meant to discourage blobbing and give the defender an advantage, so they facilitate indirect fire to an extreme degree. Just imagine if any of the games where indirect was 100% accurate had suppression. Even if that problem were ironed out and indirect fire projectiles landed where the unit used to be and didnt track targets, then countering indirect fire just becomes as simple as moving your unit. This means that hmgs and team weapons get screwed over because they can't move at will, and it becomes all core infantry...which is essentially how all other RTS games play...

Overall, my point is that basically every interesting mechanic that coh2 has is entangled with the existence of rng.
