Wehrmacht On Map Artillery
Note: Post have been modified

Why is the Stuka, a highly movable artillery piece, given to the defensive doctrine? I suggest we move the Stuka to blitz to highlight the moveability of the doctrine (just like PE gets mortar halftracks instead of regular mortars). Nebelwerfers should be limited to Terror only. Defensive could have the howitzer from ToV campaign as their artillery unit. This should help differentiate the fractions a bit more because at the moment no one is using Stukas and everyone is using nebels.  

Blitz: Stuka
Terror: Nebelwerfer
Defensive: Axis howitzer from ToV campaign

I thought the reason no one used the stuka was that it doesn't have the burn the nebl has. Unless it's different in EIRR.
Nebls decrew stuff (especially support spam) way better than stuka imo

The nebel is better yes but that’s not the point. Point is differentiation. I also said it needs cost restructuring.

If blitz was to have the stuka, then they would have 2 doctrine specific units, while defensive would not even have any.

Defensive Doctrine always needed more units to be unlocked.  At the start, all they really had was the 88 and then nothing else.  The stuka follows defensive doctrine's focus on Artillery and should be kept there.  The nebel is just as fine with all other doctrines, i wouldn't complain since it's the only free pp artillery you can get.

Mobile Artillery is meant to cost a tonne of fuel.  A priest costs around 375 fuel from what i remember (a hummel around the same).  From that i'd say a stuka would be fairly priced around 250-270 fuel.

Defensive have Rocket Arty and officer barrage. Terror has V1 and firestorm. The doctrine that needs more arty is blitz   (attacking a highly fortified position can be almost impossible with blitz)

Most Blitz companies always had a Nebel in them to suppress/force movement of support weapons, then they could attack through the gap.

I know. But the point is all doctrines need some kind of arty. wouldn’t it be better to differentiate the doctrines? Why must all wehr doctrines use nebels? Why is the mobile arty given to the doctrine that specializes in staying in one area? As it is now allies are complaining about too many nebels and no one is using the stukas.

Why are people so resistant to change?

If they fixed the gun on the Hotchkiss it would be awesome.

I thought blitzkrieg was supposed to be better assault troops (tiger, stormtroopers) and not much artillery.

Could it be that you play blitzkrieg and that is one of the reasons you want it moved?

Stormtroopers and Stuka in the same doctrine would be weird. That would be like commandos and priest in the same doctrine.

Yes I play both Terror and Blitz (main). I also have the no. 1 nebel on the leaderbord.  But people generally recognize the Nebel as being superior to the Stuka so WHY THE FUCK should I suggest and inferior unit for my own sake???

precision strike should be all the arty Blitzkrieg get.  After all, Armour Doctrine gets nothing, Royal Engineers get nothing and Tankbusters get nothing.

Blitz should get nothing for Arty. Blitz has always been a physical doctrine like Armoured and now Tank Destroyers and Royal Engineers(if anything RE needs the offmap choices)

We are talking about ON MAP ARTILLERY. Armot gets the cali (best on map artillery!!!), tankbusters get hotchkiss, Engineers get nothing (if anything RE needs the offmap choices like brn4meplz says).

Blitz already has the Nebel. I’m suggesting to give them the Stuka instead. How can that be considered OP when everyone agrees that the Nebel is bette? I suggested removing the Nebel from Blitz at the same time!!!
