Well Tightrope used it incorrectly because none of his base buildings are set up, meaning none of the howitzers participated in barraging the enemy.

Here you see the full effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDf6SDp1uX0

2 base howi's firing + occassional offmap mortar shells + occassional offmap howi shells.

Hello all,

This is my first post on these forums. I am a 95% allies only player, and I usually never complain about a singular unit in the game. I’ve never written a post complaining about Axis op or whatever. However, there is a unit that has proven to be extremely bothersome through all of my 1300 hours playing. (Id have more hours but I usually take 6-8 month breaks because this game can get cancerous.)

That unit is the German 10.5 CM leFH artillery gun.

While not necessarily overpowered in the sense that it does too much damage, or that it’s too accurate, the biggest issue I have with it is the counter battery ability. This artillery gun can counter battery mortars and pack howitzers, which is quite ridiculous to say the least, and it shouldn’t be this way as the aforementioned units have no way to counter fire. I understand, we should get proper counters to it, blah blah blah, but what if you’ve gone airborne? Waste 320 manpower to kill the crew and lose the airborne squad?

Rush your priests to the frontline only to have them hunted down by a panther? I understand, there are ways to play the game, and if you have a premade team your quality of life is improved by a thousand. But seriously, the leFH counter battery is pretty ridiculous.


they're quite ez to destroy with an off-map arty strike and someone who has vision.
I don’t want to be forced to play a certain commander just to have a call in ability to kill this static unit, and in my opinion, leFH guns should not counter light artillery.

What do you guys think? What can I do better vs this unit when I don’t have a call in ability?

CoH 2 has a big changelog.

It's had seven years of patches with a focus on immediate solutions: an exception to the rules here, a contexual buff there. Each individual patch seems fine, but the game is starting to feel the strain of seven years of band-aids layered on top of each other.

Could it do with a cleanup patch? Go through the changelog, assess the changes, toss out what you don't need any more? Standardise stats where you can, remove exceptions to the rules you don't need.

If this is something the Balance Team is willing to consider, I'm happy to do the work to produce a spreadsheet from the changelog that breaks down changes by unit.
