The new LEFH ability is still a meme. I will not choose LeFH over werfer because of this and neither will anyone capable of thought. On the paper there is nothing going for artillery compared to werfer / stuka besides the range but that literally does not matter because the latter are mobile. Static artillery has worse survivability, lethality and requires commander pick when compared to werfer, stuka and katy. Since balance team removed the anti mobile arty CB ability from the game THE ONLY REMAINING WAY TO MAKE STATIC ARTILLERY VIABLE is to increase its lethality. The way to fix this issue is not through pseudo buff clown abilities like airburst on LeFH and smoke on ML20 and instead of just crying balance team bad, I'm actually going to give you the 200iq concept solution on how to fix this issue pro bono:

NEW VET 1 ABILITY FOR ML20 and LEFH: MILITARY DRILL
-COST 60 MUNI
-COOLDOWN 60s
-REDUCE BARRAGE COOLDOWN TO 0

Turning the static artillery into "muni dump hurt machine" is the most fair way to increase lethality and make static artillery relevant without resorting into using gimmick abilities. This would also tackle the question of "why build LeFH or ML20 when it has such short lifespan in 3v3 and 4v4 games?" By allowing static artillery to lash out immense amount of damage by burning through munition storage it finally has a potential become worthwhile investment if opponents team would also need some time to save up for 1 click delete ability.

This doesn't work for the simple reason that regardless, you will always need at least one sturmpioneer unit, and unless you want to build a 300 MP unit just for repairs, sturmpios need get in the combat ASAP to get a chance to vet and scale decently in combat

I see your point but this would not take away from those players who want to have their early sturm pio. On the other hand this would most definately help people who play mostly 3v3 and 4v4 and in those modes the ostheer players pioneers are way better use of MP to be in charge of repairing and sweeping.

Maybe the issue of stormpios could be more easily fixed through just matching their stats to those of ostheers pios with mp40s and then for 100mp upgrade they would gain their current stats and weapongs?

Without even thinking the balance and the fact that SOv and Ost have recon planes in their commanders my suggestion for approach would be to just give sov and ost ability to build currently doctrinal officers that have recon non-doctrinally. So basically give them the whole UKF air landing officer treatment as easy way to promote the usage of these units, add flavor and grant access to non-doctrinal off map recon.

So autistic and unfun. You should be glad because that's exactly what's happening with this community driven "balance" team.

Go play MS Paint if you want fun. Coh2 is serious business.

Also: Im reasonably sure the static pieces are more deadly than the mobile pieces (In particular the Sexton), it's just that the mobile pieces can reposition and fire from optimal locations (and subsequently retreat), and that they're rather harder to kill.

I shouldve been more clear that I meant the werfer with the remark to mobile artillery. Why would ostheer player ever choose to go LeFH over werfer if werfer has better ability to deal damage and can survive due to its mobility? I have no idea what the hell ML20 is supposed to be but in my mind that should also get the CB instead of making both sides equal in irrelevancy by removing CB from LeFH.
