..... Fun fact, he has been banned at least three times over by Relic.

More fun facts - Seeking has played on an account that has also been banned three times, except by Steam.

Oh, sorry, I should have waited for you to comment that its fine first.

L2read - I never implied it was, you're just acting delusional about bias. Anyone who has used it is underwhelmed by it, especially given its cost.

To the OP, I'd put Relief Infantry on the short list of abilities that need to be changed. It was badly overnerfed, just like the similar Soviet ability.

sexton is 160 ,135 was like 2 years ago and that has nothing to do with the ability to move, the mobile arty will always have the initiate and first shoot cause u will never know where they are before they shoot, and they can just move if they are targeted, CB exists to punish fire and forget player or to actually have a chance of dealing some damage to them as it fires when the howy is about to fire, after all u can just move a priest away from the barrage zone

I checked this:

before posting. It seems the most up-to-date. Also, even if it is 160, it's still not long enough to use against a LEFH on most maps. You're just theory-crafting on why mobile is better. Nobody uses mobile arty to counter on-map.

Also, CB is as bad of a fire-and-forget utility as any other ability in the game. It's probably the worst as it can deal damage all over the map.

I mean, doesnt the brits have by far weakest arty options anyway? Mortar pit is being boosted, but its far from being uncountarable, in most cases quite opposite, while base howis are no-where near effectiveness of any static howi. In 99% cases if you got rekt by UKF base howis, its your own mistake.

Not like UKF is not cancerous, but inderect fire is by far the weakest for them.

In teamgames if you play axis, objectively the hardest and the most broken thing is Caliope, for allies its hands down LeFH (which is presented in such a varaity of good commanders, that you will most likely face it).

So its in terms equally unhealty for both sides, especially if you dont pick an optimal commaders to deal with it.

Out of all the opinions on this thread, I most closely agree with this one.

UKF has the weakest arty options of any of the factions. It has the second worst anti-arty options, behind OKW.

A mortar pit requires micro, if you want it to do anything or stay alive. Standard LEIG's will shred it if you don't actively fire back at them. LEIG's from Fuerstorm or MHT's kill it regardless. If you build a pit too early, you'll face one of these two counters, lose the pit, and spend the match playing on your back foot.

I do like the idea of limiting arty to one, and not allowing them to be decrewed.

If not playing with friends, I usually play Ost which has pretty good counters to arty, especially with Storm (which is also pretty good against sim city). If the other side has a lot of howitzers, I often go straight to Panthers. When I get to 2 or 3, I start diving with them and can often end the game with them.

I completely disagree with the premise that the only way to beat arty spam is to match it with arty spam. When playing allies, I've lost a lot of matches where a some point, it feels like I've been fighting 1v2 for the last ten minutes, then I look at my f*ckstick UKF teammate, and he has 3 Sextons chilling in his base, but no tanks and very little infantry. Then I realize I have been playing 1v2 for the last 10 minutes while the moron is playing sim city with added Sextons. At that point, I get pushed off the field and then just watch the Sexton versus Panther battle. I might even help by Pinging the Sextons for good luck while they battle the Panthers.

Pretty much this. If CB on the LeFh gets touched, then all SPGs need to be looked at. Because they are straight up better than any stationary howie. Thus they would be probably neutered in terms of range.

Mobile is already neutered in terms of range. A Sexton has 135, Priest 180, and LEFH 250 range. When they reach Vet 3, those ranges go up by 33%. On most 4v4 maps the LEFH can be built where mobile can't hit it. On 2v2, the Priest often can hit a LEFH but it is often firing at max range and it ends up being a waste of time.
