What was the reasoning behind leaving SVT cons unchanged?

are you talking pit or mortar? (assuming that UKF use the USF mortar and it got buffed)

Both had buffs.

this is bad since allies infantries are much better dps on the flank move

In the current patch Vet 3 SVT cons beat vet 3 5men gren at long range. How is this deemed balanced ? Does any member of the balance team members actually play this game? Is this due to incompetence or result of blatant biased malevolence?

Centaur mobility is too high IMO. I didn't think the centaur or ostwind needed buffs since they were both already very good in the previous patch. I'd say they're balanced against each other currently, I think they're both too strong in terms of damage output and mobility. Didn't even get to try EWS centaur because I went anvil and sextons, but vet 2 centaur is as fast if not faster than a p4. It's pretty crazy.

The mortar pit HE barrage is simply OP.

Insane range and good damage for no cost.

Yes, it was like that in the preview and it was pointed out but they went ahead anyway...

"Can now fire a Heavy Mortar Barrage up to range 150 once Hammer or Anvil have been unlocked.
Heavy Barrage fires a total of 8 rounds into the target area with a 100 second recharge; affected by veterancy."

"M1 81mm Mortar
Cost from 240 to 230
Barrage scatter angle from 10 to 9
Distance scatter max from 8 to 7


Mobile Mortar Smoke (M21, 250 Half-Track, USF/British 81mm, Soviet 82mm, Ostheer 81mm)**

To increase the effectiveness and responsiveness of smoke barrages, the speed at which they fire shells and rotate has been adjusted. Furthermore, smoke barrages will no longer share a cooldown with the primary barrage to allow players to have on-demand smoke.

Infantry Mortar pivot time from 2 to 1.25
Smoke Barrage wind down from 2 to 0.375
Number of smoke shells per barrage from 3 to 4
Scatter bonuses at veterancy 3 no longer apply to smoke barrages
Smoke Barrages no longer share a cooldown with the primary barrage"

Except for the cost of all mobility you mean?
It was perfectly find on preview and as far as I'm aware, it didn't got any scatter buffs since.

why does it need mobility when it has durability and impossible to counter this early on?

maybe in 1v1 preview nobody test it enough but team games its unplayable..
