the problem is that it is way too accurate and hits like a truck everything. 1 accurate hit and squad is no longer fit for combat

In a vacum from static positions. The avre is strong no doubt but within their respective factions the ST imo is a stronger unit imo. The ST is picked a lot more. But then again you dont see brits used a lot and maybe its used as much percentidge wise.

This thread is not about live but about the patch version. Both Avre and ST have receive changes so talking about how these unit currently perform in live is not very helpful.

Using the unit in preview mode and providing feedback in their "new" performance is much more helpful.

Tbh it hits everything very accuratly. At least in 3v3\4v4 its a meta for a soviet to spam them. Imo it would have been some what alright if not the fact that it comes with 6 models, and to decrew it you need to kill all 6 of them.

With its raw damage, its impossible to counter it with your own mortar, not only because 120mm outranges and outdamage you, but because it can outsit you. This only allows it additional aggresive placement, making it even more accurate.

But over-all I would say that it performs somewhat on a resonable level, but it survivability should be tonned down drastically, to be 4\5 men and decrewing with 1 model left like other mortars. Considering you already have better range and damage, there is no reason for it to be almost immune to other inderect inits and hard to decrew.

This and the fact that almost all of the best soviet commanders comes with it.

Did they revert the 5 men back to 6? Making it 4 men is overkill it would need a buff to damage and or rof then.
Also its quite a bit more expensive, has a longer reload and bigger scatter area so at max range to my knowlidge it isent more accurate.
Its better traits are longer range and better aoe profile.

Imo the unit is fine.

The new models for the updated squads look very nice, but shouldn't they also have portraits that better reflects what their models look like?

Well I guess they can't please everybody. Yay for Bolster reversion, nay for Comet/Anvil cost buff.

EDIT: I still say the AVRE buff is a bad idea
