LeFH counterbarrage and OKW artillery flares are the only thing broken about artillery.

Same as british counter-artillery and flares.

British counterbattery has pathetic range and is a meme
Flares light up only frontline, not any location on the map

True, but sometimes still broken. Overall they are ok.

Edit:
Is it arty or not... I have no idea BUT:

What thing really broken is the British-Flame-bomb-ability. I have no idea of its name. Should be replaced with something like Ostheer's fire-bombs.

Hardly, considering it turns off your tech structure for the duration, has ammo cost and will not just murderfuck area but take single shots - barrage stopped? So did counterbarrage.

Its also pretty ineffective due to range on long or large maps.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

There are so many UKF boys build sim cities these days. I think this is reason why so many Axis boys spam LeFH.

LeFH is the only solution to counter Bofors+Motor Pit+6 Pound.

Mostly seeing bofor + 2 mortar pit so you cannot even use LEIGs against said bofor.

My main problem with arty is a great RNG.
So many times i had this thing - fire my katy, pzwerfer, move from firing spot and get blown up by randomly scattered shell. If leFH or ML-20 fire into fog of war they get almost screen-sized scatter. It was made for arty to be ineffective without vision. And so it is - when u fire in the fog of war, it just never hits anything. BUT!!!
Sometimes this large scatter leads to hit unexpected targets. When i hear enemy arty firing, i move my units away to secure place, and then - boom - out of nowhere!!

So my point is - arty rng in fog of war is bad for the attacker - large scatter - less efficiencey, but it's also bad to defender - hard to find a secure spot for you units, cuz the shells can hit literally anywhere.

I think artillery was quite broken on both sides in 3v3 / 4v4. And the new patch made it a million times worse. The new British arty commander makes the big team games completely unplayable on artyfest maps. And you cant even counter it. Btw the new ost sector arty is OP AF as well, but you have to be stupid to run into it.
