The I&R Pathfinders artillery isn't what needs tweaking. It's the range! They can only call it in as far as they can shoot. This means that they have to run straight into whatever it is they want to actually use the artillery on.
Considering that they aren't really good for anything else and are a rather fragile squad this is pretty ridiculous. Especially when the major can do the same from the safety of behind the lines. Why waste manpower calling in a unit that does the same thing a unit I will have to eventually get by default can do better.

I think that's the problem.

This might be a debate for another time, but should "balance" be considered balance when it must be played to perfection? I'm honestly not sure, but I'm inclined to say no.

I'm not saying ostheer needs a buff or some such(I do think they need fixes though), and you very well may be right, but I think the rub here is that US has much more wiggle room.

I'm spending a little too much time on thinking while I post which probably means I should wrap it up. However, even with this information, I do still think US needs to be edged some, and just that -- edged. Big sweeping changes ruin balance. A good start would be nerfing riflemen long range. As I said before, I feel that Osth and Soviet are pretty close to what they need to be (minus katyusha's and a few other random squad wiping abilities, ISU among them), I just think OKW and US could stand to be tweaked to be on their level. If there was anything Ostheer needed, it's choices. Because right now you play be rigid rules, and if you don't, you lose. It's incredibly boring.
