They attempted in the last patch but it doesn't really seem any different.

I'm sure they'll fix it right when they make allies less RNG squad wipe dependent

Bullshitness of this unit:
1) Almost half of the 1v1, 1/4 of 2v2 map, always fire at safe range
2) Survive with 1 man left, seriously it should be reverse can't survive with two men left
3) Precision strike on it, iWipe button, or just leave it alone they iAutoWipe
4) Arrive in like 3 minutes without even need to tech
You think it is fun playing against it? Hur?

They buffed it's squad wipe potential at medium to long range while reducing it's short range squad wipe potential. Why they thought that made sense is really anyone's guess.

Allies are much easier to preserve units with, if Axis has a 120mm mortar equivalent it wouldn't be nearly as good simply because it would have a much lower chance to wipe squads.

I hate to play against this thing. Random wipes all day everyday.

If 120mm was an Axis weapon, you would have said : "Work as intented, you allied fanboy can't understand 400MP so expensive, L2P guys some counter exist"

True enough,though it has everything to do with the design of axis better units against RNG squad wipes. of course its easier to preserve allies units, that is unfortunately how the factions were designed.
I never understood why Asymmetric balance means make things as different as possible to be asymmetric. in vcoh you had asymmetric US vs Wher and they mirrored each other quite well in standard game play which led to easier balance and less frustrating play.
Personally I feel like on either side you play its just a frustrating experiance at one point.
Either play as axis and have cool, well designed toys and play against bleeding/ squad wipes or fight as allies with the not as great stuff, but rng death tools. SCII is asymmetric without the frustration like coh2.

As far as I remember, it became a lot more effective because people were complaining about it's range.
Basic life cycle of the 120mm so far:
People complained it's range was too far. It's range got nerfed.
People complained that it wasn't enough. It's range got nerfed again, and it's blast radious was improved to offset it.
People complained it wasn't enough. It's blast radious got nerfed.
People complained it wasn't enough. It's blast radious got nerfed again.
So where are we at now? Do you want it to be just like a normal mortar for 400mp? Just a reminder about both infantry support guns range, cost and timing, before you answer.

eh, it preforms a lot better then the pack howitzer or the lieg, despite costing less. i'm not sure if it needs a nerf or not, i haven't seen it or used it in a long time, but i definitely think the pack and lieg need another look; either the accuracy or non-lethal aoe.

At least make gun require 2 men to fire. Yes I know the animation only requires 1 man but you can still make it abandoned when crew size its 2.

You forgot about how twice now the cover system has been reworked so the 120 essentially got its blast radius re buffed indirectly

That's a micro problem, and works for every faction that doesn't monitor it's squad placing in cover against any indirect fire. SO in that sense, every faction got buffed/nerfed.

Fanboy just jealous with their little 81mm and 105mm howitzer. But they automatically forget their HUGE 30cm Wurhframen Rocket, Oneshotting all they hit, should i say "iWipe" ?

I hate that thing some much, random squad wipes all the time. It is much powerfuller than the leig and packhowitzer. It AOE needs a nerf, also relic really should do something about the squad buncing. To much squad wipes because they stick reallly close to getter.

Costs less? 120mm is also doctrinal, an important difference you missed of your list.

no because you're clearly on the receiving end. seriously, don't expect to be taken seriously with comments like that. the wurframen is a questionable unit but it has some pretty major drawbacks, particularly in smaller games, and it is a skill shot, which none of the other artillery are, baring precision strike.

its sort of a micro problem, but the tremendous range means it can auto fire a crossed the map at just about anything. I sure cant move all my units simultaneously, plus weapons teams have to not be moving to be doing things. That first 120 shot could easily wipe it before you know it was firing at it in the first place. Not to mention the precision shot at vet one.
every faction has gotten indirect fire buffed by the cover change, only the 120 has been a squad wiping machine. The Ostheer turbo mortar comes in second in this category, but its small blast radius prevents it from wiping all the time and rather just doing a consistent bleed.

Is that really true? I know that when I use the 120mm (or any indirect for that matter), I always manually make the mortar fire upon any squad I see bunched up.
