Yep I'm going there, Panzerwerfer

The Panzerwerfer is the worst rocket artillery in the game
hands down while being quite expensive. When they nerfed the Kat truck (Omg that thing was op)
The Panzerwerfer got its damage cut by one half. (160>80)
Real world? now a days when you shoot a kat truck at a blob its pretty effective as it should be.
When you shoot the Panzerwerfer on a blob that's standing still it may get 3-5 kills.
So I feel like the unit needs some love its very bad for its price.
Just unsure how it should be changed, More damage? more rockets? perhaps more AOE?
Whatever the case this unit I feel like should be discussed.

Problem is it has similar cost to the Kat and deals half the damage of the kat. (Kat fires twice as many rockets)
what you are forgetting is the werfer does only one volley in its target area. The Kat fires multiple bursts allowing the axis player to get out before sustaining too much damage. I would take a werfer any day over the Kat if it were not for the Kat's vet ability.
On a side note, the werfer adds aa with its mg

First one hits your troops, and then again while you are retreating. It has a pretty wide spread.

I'm fairly certain that both units fire identical rockets. One fires 16 of them in volleys of 4, the other fires 10 in 1 volley. There was a time when the panzerwerfer rockets did more damage; back then it was 1 volley = 1 squad. The near-instant landing of all 10 rockets gave no chance to escape.
Agreed but as opposed to now were you can almost stand in it.

I have used both. Even the first volley alone of Katy does more damage the entire Werfer barrage. Only advantage on Werfer is its survivability and accuracy of rockets. But it's tech is more expensive, it has very low damage and still very easy to take down.
Katy should be better than Werfer because that is part of balancing these factions. SU has more infantry and cheaper same with tanks along with better artillery as still have some heavy tanks doctrinally. However right now Werfer are not even an effective blob deterrent which it should be at minimum since it has no other non doc way to punish blobs except slow and very RNG based strum panzer

If you adjust scatter and aoe statistics too greatly multiple werfers will 1 shot infantry squads everywhere since the rockets are near instant, so having a faster rate of fire might be a good way to avoid this problem and make the unit unique and useful
