That is the entire point of all of my responses in this thread. You go INFANTRY with ARTILLERY. Allied artillery is superior and can do more devastating strikes because you face lower entity squads.

Allied artillery isn't superior in any way. UKF and USF cannot even field proper artillery without commanders.

The general problem of the Infantry+Artillery combo is: It works until the axis bring the counter. The counter will usually be something like:
->KT+JP4+Stuka
->JT+P4+Stuka
->Ele+Brummbär+Panzerwerfer+Offmap
->Ele+P4/Ostwind+Offmap
-> so in general: strong AI tank + strong AT tank + strong Artillery unit/offmap, supported by sporadic infantry

Speaking about lower entity squads: ... tell that the USF/UKF players who go up against OKW with Pfusiliers and Volksgrens. Soviets are dead in the endgame anyways, unless they receive life support from USF or UKF.

Could you please elaborate on why you think its a no?

The best example are squads with AT weapons. Assume a tank is cruising around the edge of their AT range and you want them to engage the tank. However, since your units will first run for cover (even in the opposite direction of the tank) the tank will have time to get out and you squad will never fire a shot. It's the same problem we had with the Captain against tanks.

CQB units are very similiar, you want them to deliver their full firepower as soon as possible before the enemy pulls out. That hardly works with your Shocks running for cover first. These units are specifically not made for cover mechanics, they are the counter to units in cover.

The general problem is how the automatic seeking cover mechanic causes very frustrating delays or even setbacks such as running back or away from the enemy.

I want my units to do exactly what they are told to do. When I tell them to attack a specific unit, I don't want them to run around and seek cover, I want them to attack this specific unit right now because of a specific reason. (for example when my long range units are being approached by cqb units. Then I want those cqb units dead as soon as possible before they reach the point where they dominate my troops instead.)

I would just remove 1 top and 1 south vp (the castle one), to make it standard 3 vp map.

This would make the map a clusterfuck since there will be 4 people fighting over 1 VP. It would be better to create a passage in the castle to allow troops and tanks to drive through.

There's already a risk when using FRPs, you state it below:

There is no risk to having FRP. If your FRP is about to become target of artillery you can just cancel it in the live version. It is OPTIONAL. There are NO risks in having one, but it's also not a safe space. Units are prone to artillery and air strikes like on any other part of the map.

Speaking of artillery. The only factions to actually have a non-doctinal counter to those infantry blobs, which usually gather at the FRP, are the Axis and Soviets.

Panzerschrecks also don't follow the 80-damage increment convention you mention. With 600HP, it will take 5 schrecks to kill the jackson.

That's because 80 is too low, 160 too much and they originally came in pairs, resulting in 240 dmg.
Basically you set it to 600 hp, just for the case of 5 Schrecks instead of 6?
