I love the German tanks because they have alot of upgradres for their tanks, however, German Arties dont have long range upgrade. The porpuse of Artillery is bombing the enemy from a long distance and just for that reason I have to take Russian Arties over German Arties. Russian Arties have long range, Gyros, Diesel engines and mech reliabilty, on the other hand German Arties get affected by too many upgrades like Schurzen, Gyros, Improved fire control, Advanced Armored Training, Logistics and Diesel Motors. If German Arties had long Range upgrade they would be the best Artillery tanks in the game. Lets say if Russian Arties fight German Arties in the trees the German Arties have no chance because they lack Long Range while Russians Arties doesn't. But is they are fighting in a map like Africa or india then Germans Arties have a good chance because there arent a loty of tress and German Arties at a short rane are really good. Anyways, my vote goes for Russian Arties.

yes but German arties have improved fire control , whereas Russians do not... that means 5 bombards to the opponents 4.... Germans have better morale... but how often you see an arty tank routing? I have to ask myself is the arty tank regiment one of the most balanced in A&A?

they are all distinctly different, yet all have something they do well at. Even the Brits, who have weak command and support units, have all the good upgrades.....

if you were gonna rank them i might say:

1 USA
2 GER
3 RUS
4 GBR
5 JPN

With arties, maybe it comes down to the micro of the individual player more than the diff between regiments?

BTW: It is a myth that Japan Arties (and arty mech, they worst in game) do more morale damage than others... that is only for Japan mortars...
