Default Re: Is CM Artillery too destructive?

This discusion was had before, if you buy sensible forces no need to restrict even the Americans will not have every tube of arty with CM.

There does seem a minor discrepancy between 155 & rocket CM if talking the standard 60 pen.
155 seems more dangerous possibly because warhead size 8 vs 2 (I think)
Just a feeling I have not tested.

How dangerous is it really though assume you fire a full volley of say 4 shots from a 155 you might get 2 or 3 vehicles.
A tank firing the same amount of shots could do the same but nobody complains when a tank takes out 2 or 3 vehicles in a turn.
Remember it might not have killed the tank just stripped it of all firing aids etc which in game terms is a kill.

Hitting vehicles takes skill with arty troops less so.
If I lose vehicles to it therefore its my fault should have moved, they are a big deterent.
If you play WW2 with lightly armoured tops need to ban big offboard arty for the same reason it kills armour. Damn hard though with call times.

If there was going to be a change second class of ammo resupply would be nice if it were possible.
New ones cant reload CM possibly SAMs cost same as the ones we have now.
The present ones have cost bumped by 250 points.
