i dont get why some people just cant get over the fact that you have to get close. especially seeing how most maps have clusters of shot blockers that allow you to do that freely as long as you are aware of one or two flanks.
once ostheer t4 becomes more viable, i really think 10 sec reduce in barrage rate would be enough.
That would be a valid, even if questionable point (it is fucking artillery, not a melee weapon), IF the Panzerwerfer would in return wreak noticeably more havoc than a Katyusha as a reward. But it doesn't and so it is simply inferior.
