The Earth Moved for Me

Having a high experience offmap artillery unit dedicated to CB is not an effective solution. High experience American arty is extremely costly and generates a feedback loop as the AI purchases even more Artillery because of the increased Value. In addition CB fire is IMHO reasonably ineffective as the unit, appropriately, doesn't fire CB missions often. Another drawback, the Enemy frequently has significant numbers of offmap Artillery which frequently CBs my offmap artillery. As a final nail in the coffin offmap artillery is effected by lose of communication perhaps more often than it should be.

I don't know what the percentages are for unit purchasing. Perhaps diverting some of the purchase toward onmap artillery would be a reasonable compromise? After XX offmap units purchased the AI starts buying onmap units sometimes.
