I think we can all agree that the Mayor artillery strike, the one named fast rapid barrage
is the worst for its cost in the game and even at vet 3 its bad.
Its slow,high cost (for what it does),is easily avoided and doesnt even deny much area.
Opinions?
Major artillery strike: Bugged or just bad?

Fake artillery costs less and do the same thing.

Most likely bug confirmed by Cruzz. I'm trying to find where he mentioned it, or maybe I'm just imagining things.

No you're correct, he posted that the Min and Max values were switched, so instead of being 1-3 seconds between shells, it's always 3 seconds.
Also once I tried to stack Pathfinder and Major artillery on an OKW Flak HQ, only to find it survived with 1/3 health. I thought I was being clever, but all I did was waste all my munitions

The fake barrage is worth WAY more than the "rapid" artillery barrage

I rarely ever see this used but it can be SO useful. If you're getting steamrolled it can force the other player to hold up and give you time to recover or if you're attacking force them to reposition MGs/PAKs because they think they are about to get shelled.
That being said fixing the actual Arty would be nice. Just fixing the Max/Min values probably won't be enough. I wouldn't mind something cheaper that reflects it's actual performance that you can use to clear a building or what have you.

I used it on a house with an MG before. It missed 
Seriously on of the worst abilities in the game. It's meant to make up for US lack of heavy indirect, But has been crap from day 1.

Would be nice if it was like the I&R Pathfinder arty, or is that a bit too much?

WAIT I HAVE A SOLUTION GAIS. HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE THE MAJOR ARTY LIKE 45 MUNITIONS 
Then it'll be worth it!

Atleast Major gains +2 shells to the artillery barrage when reaching VET 2, so maybe its somewhat useful after that?

Yes I agree with this idea. Make the arty cheaper. Why? Well the major being played actively (not being used as a really point) really does put up some utility to the forces of US, they desperately need. Him moving here and there, supporting the forces, a cheaper arty would be a perfect for the same reason as mentioned above; to stop the enemy steamroll or to keep an area sealed for infantry for a time, or even damage or help in destroying a MG nest/garrison.

I would like to see the Major artillery more integrated into the faction gameplay somehow like the UKF (NDA) artillery.

On the darks days of B4 PS BS, i test the Panzer commander at it manage to kill Howitzers (i'm not sure if it still works).
Both needs a bit of love.
Either make the shells falls a bit more accurate, faster or cheaper.

And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.
