And in the larger sense, it's a slap in the face to the tradition of COH, which was originally about maneuvering, flanking, and cunning micro and tactics. All you can do is bomb it, or waste a lot of manpower assaulting it.
It lowers the skill cap of the game by its very existence.
It makes skilled players mad because their skill means nothing since any noob can throw up a Bofors and it will take only slightly less time for a top 10 player to get rid of it then another noob.
thats also something that annoys me so much. you usually see brit emplacement cancer players having horrible micro skills with infantry. but yet they still manage to win with that strat. thx lelic
