Incidentally I'm still unclear to some of the artillery settings in the Bulge pdt? 



I think I understand the Indirect parameters. This means that German artillery is 25% better than US?
I'm not sure what the Counterbattery parameters  means? Which is easier to spot when firing? US or German?

From the users manual:
Counterbattery Spotting

When the Optional Rule for Counterbattery Fire is enabled, there is the chance
that when an unspotted artillery unit fires, it will become spotted. By default,
the probability of this occurring is:
Counterbattery Spotting Probability = Normalized Strength / Range To Enemy
Where Range To Enemy is the range of the artillery unit to the nearest enemy
unit and Normalized Strength is given by the equation:
Normalized Strength = Men-Equivalent Strength / Max Road Stacking Value
This probability applies up to ranges of 10 hexes. The Parameter Data Value
for Counterbattery is used per side to modify this default probability.

So I would take this to mean the Axis/Germans have a 50% higher than normal chance of counterbattery spotting than the Allied/US player.
