artillery really suck this game - katiusza/maultier deals shit damage, sometimes to infantry when hit near squad, only howitzers looks only good arty in this game
I have to agree. The only other noteworthy unit is the SU-76, which is useless for anything but the arty barrage and crushing infantry.
The russian field gun's barrage is 60muni, which is a considerable investment early on. Taking into account it does so little damage to real axis tanks, I think it's fine.
