Low cost of german arty

[jadpanther]

I have a question for the designers of winspww2.........why is german arty so cheap. A self propelled hummel which has a 150mm gun in 1944 at 75 training costs 35pts, a wespe is even less with 105mm gun. These weapons are also very difficult to suppress. Also you have the german halftracks with their 81mm motars and 90rounds of ammo. Were these weapons so plentiful that they can be this cheap in the game? As a russian player, I find myself in even battles without making all kinds of rules to limit my german opponents constantly out gunned in the arty department by better high quality guns which cannot easily be suppressed or knocked out. And unless I keep my guns running constantly they are usually knocked out in the first 30 turns. My understanding of history was that the germans were almost always outnumbered in the later years on the eastern front. Why is this not reflected in their having a higher cost for their artillery? Is there a reason the game was designed this way, maybe you could explain it to a simple guy like myself.

Thanks to whoever answers this question and explains this to me.
