Counter-Battery Process?

[EOT]

1)Does the Troop Quality rating of a country affect the counter-battery process?

2)Does SPMBT still use the Hidden Artillery Spotting Ratings of countries? I've noticed a difference between nationalities to the counter-battery process or is it just my mind playing tricks on me.

3)If arty ranges are equal,is their a determining factor?

4)Does the rating of your FO/observer having any affect on the counter battery process?

5)Is it as simple as to who's got the better range ratings?

Is there a way of O/M Arty delivering counter-battery to on map Howitzers/mortar in future upgrades? I know I'm asking a lot, but if you don't ask.

Thanks in advance!!
