True, we were working on a changed version  to release in the previous patch but couldn't quite bet it to work correct in time....we'll see about the next patch.
To be fair GOW at the moment is supposed to be an area denial thing where no enemies or friendly would dare walk in. It can be pretty useful some times when the VPs are counting down and you want to deny your enemy decaping that all important VP....works better in close team games...

As far I can see it looks like GoW will be useless as it is  :-\
It would better work if it could allow build more firebases for decreased cost and pop cap... it's still artilery, and as said Stalin "artilery is god of war".

RHS propaganda doesn't need more buildable arty.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Hell no! We're not turning them into brit arty spam.

Plus, you get 3 non doctrine artillery...and the upgraded mortar which is...inbetween mortar and arty.

Then you get doctrine arty abilities...lets not get too greedy... Its not like soviets are lacking heavy tanks to make a push

Lol. I'm glad theres a plan. I would be heartbroken if the GoW was taken out.

I wouldn't be upset if it was removed.

I know this thread has been kind of overdone but I got a last question to ask. Around v1.04, the GoW was actually fairly useful. It would actually hit things (I loved it!). I have noticed that it seems a lot weaker and less accurate (it sucks now). Is that the result of one of the newer updates or am I just crazy?

There may have been a reason given somewhere but I might have missed it. Thanks.
