So what was actual combat in WW2 like? Was it like today where you just shoot for hours at distant dots on the horison that may or may not be the enemy, while artillery and air strikes do most of the kills anyway?

I refuse to believe it was like they depict it in CoD where you always fight at close quarters and spam grenades every five seconds.

The battlefield was constantly moving due to it being the first war with true mechanized warfare. They tended to move so fast that the supply lines couldn't catch up.

In europe anyway. In the push to Japan it was a much more dragged out war.

City battles were totally like this.
In the opening hours of Battle of Berlin, the Russians put out something like 2,500,000 artillery shells, instantly obliterating much of the city, yet there was enough Germans left to fight for next 17 days.
