For someone so terrible at playing allies, you seem to always have a perfect counter for every single situation as allies, but for whatever strange reason, you never have a single one as axis, even against single CE squad.

Now, it does not change the fact that sexton is a meme unit and it does deserve some love, just like the whole doctrine.

If they were the same price I could see that but they cost significantly more fuel.

I've said this on multiple threads but as brits I have found myself playing royal artillery nearly every game recently in order to counter LefHs that seem to plague every game. If you cannot counter them, you will lose, end of.

In my opinion the only useable 4v4 doctrines right now for allies if I'm solo queuing are:

Brits: Royal artillery and royal engineers, perhaps special weapons if you have a friend with recon. Only royal artillery has recon and can destroy the gun, the recon is bad though.

Soviets: Only doctrines with ML-20, B-4 or IL-2 bombing strike if you have recon.

U.S.-Infantry company because time on target with major recon is a win button against LeFHs.

From my experience if you don't have at least one of them on your team, decent players with LefHs will ruin you every time. And Munitions points are nearly always more valuable than fuel points.

I'm not sure limiting to one arty piece would cut it as although it would make them much less annoying and might prevent one person from carrying a team, you could still easily end up facing 4 of them if people choose the right doctrines. I think the issue is mainly they take immense cooperation to take out as few commanders have enough kit alone to deal with them i.e.-both recon and a reliable way of destroying the gun. (probably only Infantry company and the soviet doctrine that has B-4 and arty flares.)
This cooperation can be difficult to do with people you don't know or can't speak to (language barrier).

Perhaps greatly reducing accuracy of guns through fog of war (more than was done recently) and thus requiring scouts or recon in order to function properly. By requiring recon as well it means you will need to spend munitions to use your artillery properly which means you will be able to fire less often. Also allowing counter play by pushing enemy munitions points or building Anti-air.

P.S.- Balance on most factions is good yes, Pick rate of Brits in competitions will still be low though I imagine as none of their glaring issues have been fixed..

Sherman has great pen on its AP shells iirc. Don't recall the numbers but isn't it 140 close and something like 120 far? That's pretty great and again, I'm going off memory here but the AP shells also have an AOE of 2 (VS the regular 2.5 of multi purpose shells) so you are not trading so much AI for pretty solid AT. It might be interesting to see what knocking that AOE down a bit and seeing what elevated pen would look like (say give it TD AOE but like +20 pen on all ranges) then the Sherman could be the medium killer OR infantry killer but falls off VS combined arms approaches.
