Seems broken to me that it's that involved or requires that amount of strategy to counter a single structure that is just click/build.... Little Micro Required...

There has to be a more viable counter, I mean try explaining that to a mid level player

Translation: Picking a Doctrine to counter a Non Docturnial Unit seems way too far because it then places you in a bad position when actually dealing with his doctrine. There should be a counter that require NO DOCTRINE.... So in retrospect if you were going mortar HT to counter a 120mm that's doable because 120mm is a doctrine based unit, however when countering a simple bofor, I have to go a specific doctrine? that seems too far fetched to me.

Last night I played against SturmTigerSage as Ost, and he was using Cancer Regiment. He won, but I found that Spearhead Doctrine could deal with the Bofors by calling in 2 Mortar Halftracks. 2 is enough to kill the Bofors even with the upgrade and constant brace/repairs, although it does take a very long time.

During that time, use your infantry to secure as much of the rest of the map as you can. They key is to keep an ear out for the Counter-Battery barrage firing, and move your Halftracks whenever you do. Halftracks take 2 direct hits to kill from the base arty, though, so it doesn't matter if you aren't exactly on top of it. Halftracks are much better for this regular mortars since they don't take so long to reposition. Mix in an
incendiary barrage occasionally to drive off/kill squads who are repairing.

I think this is the best way to cope once the Bofors is down. Really though, as others have said, the ideal solution is to rush Bofors locations and make sure the Brit player can't build the Bofors in an advantageous location to begin with. Most maps only have 1 spot which is really good.
