The mortar pit HE barrage is simply OP.
Insane range and good damage for no cost.

Ah vipper alies always op this is really geting boring.
Just think about it HE barrage is avalible later than panzerfetwer or stuka zu fuss so in most cases mortar pit will not survive to that moment when HE barrage is avalible but ok pls nerf.

I am very sad, they nerfed all indirect fire. Pak howie small damage, 120mm, small damage, ml20 5 kills after 5 barrages, 7L, i am done.
They only buffed mortar pit, which was already pretty stronk, so i guess i will aboose more brits.

Only scott and pak howie were nerfer. And for a good reason. Now in teamgames, USF has to use 1 more brainsell in order to win games outside or airborn\lmg spam into pak howi and scotts spam.

Idk, the 120mm fells way worse, i just use to afk it, and it got many kills, and now i should micro it. Litereally unplayble.

literally nothing changed for the 120mm. unless there has been some ninja nerf or any other sort of unlikely slip up i'd suggest recalibrating your feels-meter.

It has been buffed in the "bug" fixes:
[...]
Fixed inconsistencies where the 120mm Mortar in AOE and fire-times between auto-fire and barrage.

Were mortar pits uncounterable pre-patch? The only thing that changed was it's late game utility with the new barrage and the 2nd mortar upgrade split cost. If you're suddenly having trouble with Pits it's not because of durability or timing unless you think the un-upgraded pit is too strong. (it's not) If anything it should be easier to counter in team games since OKW gets access to Napalm rockets at Vet 1 now. I do like the new barrage it's strong where I usually would kill ISGs and support weapons that I targeted but it's infrequent enough that I found it impossible to counter team weapon spam with the heavy barrage alone.

yeah i noticed, but none of these changes should have made the 120mm less powerful for sure.
although this one got me slightly confused:
now the AoE changes should have barely any noticeable effect other than bringing the numbers of autofire and barrage in line with each other. but i'm quite puzzled what the "fire-time" changes are referring to. could anyone give more info on this?

Well, I suppose the argument is that it now significantly outranges Axis indirects (Those that are nondoctrinal, and are an actual threat to it, I mean), and can sit well out of the reach of PAKs and place itself somewhere it is far less able to be dove by tanks, meaning that a VERY deep Mortar Pit is almost like a nondoctrinal howitzer with much better survivability.
I haven't tested the unit myself, nor played against it yet, but I can see how it might be an issue. I think we'll have to see how it all plays out in practice (in teamgames specifically) before any knee-jerk further changes are made. I just hope it doesnt feel too AIDS to play against... though I always go Overwatch against brits anyway, so i can just LEFH it to death if its' too much a problem.

I tried emplacements several times with the new patch. They're still not very good. Most OST will get a MHT and OKW will go Feuerstorm, both of which take down the emplacements quickly even if fortified. The long range barrage has too much scatter and too long of a cooldown to be anything besides situational. It's good for getting the last hit in on a schwerer after you've dropped supremacy or something like that.

Could we please change back the crew of the flak emplacement and the kübelwagen. The vehicle and ost mg crew models looked fine in imo. The winter volksgrenadier looks especially weird in the kübelwagen. The detection passive ability for the IR StG Obers should also be removed since it has the same position as the reinforce button. Maybe it could be an icon on the portrait.
