from the looks of the trailer the 17pdr gun is fine as long as it got guaranteed pen and doesnt have to pray to the RNG god, on the other hand USF 57mm AT cant do jack shit against anything bigger than a panzer IV or Ostwind meanwhile axis still hog and hoard all the best AT, armor and infantry in-game with no worry of RNG so i'd say both sides are close to even now.

I've got to say, I'm really excited to use the double mortar pit! Creeping Smoke Barrage will be super handy to use with the double mortar making the smokescreen come down faster. I'm hoping the "Light HE" rounds fire with a range (Not Damage) matching the 120mm to make up for lack of movement.

Though I do wonder just how much of an effect garrisoning them would have?

For anyone fearing Emplacements in CoH2, you have very useful tools in this game you didn't have in CoH1. Does anyone remember that Smoke Bomb Run the Ostheer have? No need for Mortars this time to come into range and the Emplacements are blind. The British Achilles Heel.

There's also the Blizzard Maps. Think of how vulnerable they become then!

Pak43 - 500MP, shooting through everything all the time.
17 Pounder - 400MP 75F - can shoot through only with ability + it will be quite easy to deny it when consider it does not shoot through everything + Ostheer Air abilites, Stuka, Sturmtiger, MHT etc.

until USF gets new hardware to be on par with the axis and when the brits are out on September 3, the answer to your question is no

Which is why there are more expensive (and mobile) subsitutes for them. Firefly functions as the mobile 17 pounder emplacement, and the centaur AA as the 40mm bofors replacement. Except the mortar emplacement has no conventional alternative...

17 pounder emplacement has flares for blizzards MVGame, and garrisoning is pretty important, so i dont know why they didnt include the fact that in order to use an ability, it must be garrisoned... I thought that was neat.

As for the 17 Pounder Flare, I'm sure the British will need to watch their Munitions savings on winter maps. I'd going to take a guess that Flares will cost 40 Munitions. Decent countermeasure though, even if flares staying in the air during a blizzard seems far fetched to me. XD

The key difference is that the Pak 43 can be decrewed easily by anything that can kill a Pak 40 Crew, while the 17 Pounder can only be decrewed in the same way a vehicle is.

I'm not a fan of those static emplacements. Too vulnerable too flames etc. and too expensive.
