I am going to bring this topic back to the front, but please let us ignore the OP's original video and just talk about Counter Barrage.

In my opinion this ability is far, far too good for cost (free). You get to counter barrage starting at 4 cps (sometimes allowing you to cover nearly the entire map). In addition, since you are heavily invested in emplacements you have very low MP bleed and can afford to build up tanks. Turning off one 25 pounder is fine to get tank out, and building the tank during the cool down is no problem.

For Katitof, while I agree that this ability is the Wehr ability, I think you overlooked some serious differences, including:

No direct cost to acquire (picked up as part of normal tech)
No pop cost
No need to defend arty
Comes much earlier
Hits much harder (2 shots per discovered artillery fire)
Requires no vet

These differences drastically improve the counter barrage that Wehr has. On top of that UKF base arty main role is still supposed to be its use in conjunction with IS. But it is so far from useful with IS that counter barrage effectively has no opportunity costs.

The ability should probably operate on a timer, or maybe by selecting a sector on the map. Reducing its effect is still unattractive because it requires no player input or planning. You just leave in on until you need a tank.

i like the breaktrough too, but i never get the fussilier over vet 2, they die so easy. Every Inf Unit else (expect pios) are very often between vet 3-5 but never the fussiliers, these fuc.kers just love to die

Basically the Advanced Emplacement doctrine hardcounters trash players.

The Bofors counters idiots who dont understand how to attack it or just move to the other part of the map and the counter battery counters idiots who refuse to relocate after barrages/split their LeIG spam up.
