I think 1 howitzer is enought. ;)
Don't change Red Army in another camper British faction.

Sure, just make "God of War" actually usable, 'cause right now it's more of a pain in the S.
You can bet it 8).

damn that's a pity because I really think the ability is cool and all its just that no one can agree on how to balance it.

 ??? ???
cool?? in what aspect is it??

it causes a lot of havoc, and this is what I like in CoH the most - total destruction of everything.

It causes a lot of distraction to the one who uses it, and it sure isn't supposed to. So, I think, right now it's too expensive while causes more problems, than solves, and I am glad, it's going to be fixed.

We had a great discussion about that ability some time ago. I hope dev picked up at least an idea of this topic, there was a lot of nice interpretation of what should be a true 'god of war' ability.

Well, I don't think Devs will implement something like "double fire wall" (that's when troops move virtually surrounded by supporting artillery fire), just hope it'll stop hitting everything and everyone in a mile-away radius from where it should be. Yeah, I know, it's a game, but soviet artillery can do better than that (it was the best WW2 artillery, after all).

Let's just say that a certain idea may or may not have been taken from that forum topic :P
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
