Man, you say this as if CoH2 is some beautiful game without artillery. And by the sound of it, you must have been playing noob games, since I played highest level of 2v2 for years and "12 repair bunkers" was not something I ever saw. CoH1 2v2s was a beautiful mixture of combined arms, intense micro, and deceptive tactics. You had to capture, defend, harass, micro snipers, micro bikes, micro MGs, micro infantry, and tech simultaneously. In CoH2 it feels more like, rush a house with your squad, and capture. There aren't really any meaningful engagements that are exciting to micro like there were in CoH1. And to complain about artillery is pretty dumb - especially the V1 part. CoH2 is RIDDLED with artilery, and the only reason you don't see B4s or 152mm howizters often is because of how easy it is to instantly kill them. At least in CoH1, to drop a V1 on a howitzer, you had to sneak a sniper or a bike into the base, which requires effort, micro, luck, and can be countere with recon runs, mines, clever unit movement etc. CoH2 literally has "recon the base, drop a stuka bomb" to counter. So don't even start about V1 when CoH2s mechanics KILLED howitzers.

The only difference in CoH2 2v2 is that instead of howizters and calliopes you see calliopes + katyusha + land mattress (since they're all mobile). The artillery is definitely still there (such as the game of yours I recently saw on Minsk, where your partner made land matresses and both of you spamemed your base howitzers, how is that any different than CoH1?).
