I strongly disagree with your suggestion.
I believe most of you have missed the point with the Calliope.
The USF (and the brits)got exactly 0/Zero/Nada/Nothing to match the axis late game when it comes to arty - none doctorinal.
Thus, the USF received the Calliope.
The Sherman Calliope, cannont fire its main gun (Though it should) - and is very expensive compared to its counter-parts.
Calliope
MP:380
Fuel:140
panzerwerfer
MP:360
Fuel:85
HP:160
Stuka:
MP:390
Fuel:100
HP:320
Now, considering the Axis need no doc choice for long range mobile arty (And heavy tanks, but that's a different story.)
Thus, the calliope need no nerfs, it could use buffs.
That been said, you have been touching a subject about the infantry blobbing.
Here's a different approach:
Create a new in-game aura for infantry.
If infantry of same army are too close to each other, inflict a negative aura upon them - increases chances to be hit.
Reason: Reality wise ever since the machine gun was invented - large clumps of infantry were always the preferred target. Thus making more bullets hit their marks.

On a side note:
"If any of you played war thunder ground forces with the calliope, you'll know the calliope is extremely easy to "ammo rack" killing it instantly if it's racks are hit."
This is a RTS game though.
If the game would have been realistic, the Tiger 2 would never show upon the battlefield.
The panther and the tiger would have over 50% engine breakdowns and would have been abandoned the second they hit the battlefield.
The Axis got NO air supremacy.
In fact, they lost somewhere around April 1944, the introduction of the P-51.
Ammo racks caused a lot of tanks to explode.
And the Tiger, while it had a great gun, had really week floor, top and rear armor.
Up to a point that a M8 Greyhound three-shot K.O a tiger.
Story in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M8_Greyhound
"During the Battle of St. Vith in the Battle of the Bulge, an M8 of Troop B, 87th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron was able to destroy a German Tiger I heavy tank. The M8 fired three 37 mm rounds through the relatively thin rear armor of the Tiger from only 25 yd (23 m), setting it on fire.[4]"
But that's enough history for one day.
It's a game, let it be one
