Yes, most Pwerfs operate at exact range or lower than that of mortars because of the fact the Pwerf is only effective at very close range.

Exactly; get close and it does wonders ^^

I think panzerwerfer is fine. It does decrew soviet AT gun in one volley. Therefore fullfilling its role.

Panzerwerfer does fire all of its rockets in ONE volley and this makes it all the difference and justifies its cost. If you know how to micro Kats and Panzerwefers, the player can do serious damage to support weapons, and lets not forget Ambulance placements. Kat rightfully so is more effective BUT the the volly of rockets can be dodged after the first shot pretty easily. Panzerwerfer leaves no room to dodge.

Off course no Kat Panzerwefer going to suck at range, scatter is terrible on both.

Kat at max range has a far higher chance to hit something than the werfer does.

No, it doesn't.
Lack of alpha strike over area and barrage extended duration make it perfectly possible for AT gun or whatever is in the area to simply retreat often without casualties.

Bigger scatter values also doesn't make it easier in the slightest.
Also, as it was said already 328918 times in this thread, katy is supposed to shoot from afar and pwerfer from closer proximity.

Asymmetrical balance you know. Same cost, similar role, different execution.

Except the Pwerfer used to be used at exactly the same range the Katyusha was until it had it's rocket amount lowered and it's ability to hit at range decreased.

This isn't asymmertrical balance; it's idiocy. Why should a 85 fuel + teching cost HT that dies in 1 hit have to be used in closer ranges than mortars are used to be effective at all?

And the AT gun or infantry blob can simply move as well, since the area you will be hitting will be rather small. The Kat is able to bombard a larger area and do more damage over a larger area allowing it to deny territory and break up defensive formations. You can't move your AT gun back into line until it stops firing.

With the Pwerf once you dodge it that's it, it doesn't break up any defensive lines because once you dodge it that's it, you can move right back to where you were.

why should katy die from small arms fire?
