As long as the effects of any officer type of unit will affect infantry in whatever way, there will be blobbing.

And enough with the 17 pounder being like the pak43 suggestions. It wasn't.

Well, to be fair, I'm pretty sure the B-4 howitzer in real life also could in fact actually hit things from farther away instead of only being built behind the frontline. So I wouldn't put the concept past Relic.

Brits should function like the ostheer. Require combined arms, unlike the WFA that can just spam infantry into tanks.

Well uh yes...Isn't that obvious for everything? Everythings effective range in this game has been shortened dramatically compared to the real life version.

I want to see Brits have 4 man squads, but have lots and lots of blob counters.

As long as ost sniper exist and axis weapons are balanced to fight 5-6 men squads, you won't see that.
Unless you want to see 4 men with 2 armor squads as base infantry and extremely strong sniper counter.

Yeah, but it really doesn't make much sense for the gianter howitzer to be less accurate at max range than the smaller one.
Of course, a large part of that "accuracy" is that the smaller ones can fire many more shells at once to actually hit things when the gianter one either hits or (probably) misses at max range 'cause game balance, but you get what I'm saying.

Hmm? The 17 pdr with APDS was even marginally better than the 88mm L/71. I put my bets on the 17 pdr being a static at gun like the pak-43.

That's why they should have lots of support weapons in order to make up for the lower infantry capacity. Not to mention it's not like Allies don't have 4 man squads and Axis doesn't have all 4 men squads.
Poor Soviets, made utterly irrelevant as they were meant to fight 4 man squads but are fighting 5 men Volks

Remind me again how well that allied 4 men squads perform please?
Partisans die to a sniff breeze.
Irregulars are having heart attacks the moment they see opponent.
USF HMG cries while praying to escape with last man on sliver of health.
Both pathfinders are happy when they are in the bushes, outside of firing range.

Probably not a great example since people tend to dislike those 4-man squads...REs fire blanks, M2HBs are extinct, 57mms were the most disliked AT gun after Raketen (dunno if that sentiment's changed much since the last chance. Personally I don't think 57mms are that bad) and Partisans are garbage that has legs and trigger fingers.

The most I want to see is a 25 pounder, and I don't even wanna see that shit because artillery is fuckin gay.
The .50 cal isn't shit by any margin (quick pack up and set up time combined with a fuckload of quick suppression). But all those 4 men squads suffer because of lack of offensive fire power, not because they die to easily.
(All AT guns die to easy but that's a story for another day~).
