Yeah .. that's what soviets need. A doctrine revolving around artillery only...  ::)

what do you mean revolving?

Hendrik is trying to explain you that this doctrine is crap.
It has only munition based artillery strikes. It is an artillery party. Sit down and shell your enemy out of the game.
A doctrine have to enforce gameplay, add gameplay variants and should boost or help faction units. Your doctrine is boring, focused on indirect shelling without gameplay improvements.

Spammable arty is irritating to play against and a headache to balance correctly. Shelling your opponent mercilessly requires zero skill.
