Have to agree with DonnieChan. What annoys me most that you build a unit and its on autofire, means you don't need to micro it anymore, reposition it, save it from a flank etc.

It's like the AI is helping you and imo against the spirit of coh2.
With a Pak43 or 17 pounder you have to at least rotate the gun and recrew it when its decrewed (pak43) but the mortar pit doesn't need all that stuff. You just have to build it and can see the kill count rise.

I honestly don't know how to fix it without revamping the whole unit, just wanted to give my opinion.

Remove the mortar, gives Brit normal mortar but gives RE ability to dig-in heavy weapons (Mortar=> Mortar Pit, HMG=> MG nest, ATG => AT emplacements) at a cost like 100mp. Emplacements buff Heavy Weapon stat slightly but new emplacements does not have brace and heavy weapon can dismount themselves and retreat to base if it destroyed.
For teching UK can choose either AEC(this thing needs to be buffed badly, also it should have some AI capability like give them MG upgrade) or Bofor + ability to dig-in team weapons).
Currently mortar pit is the only indirect unit of Brit that is not total crap (the other two options are Base Arty and Suxton).

I see what you did here, remove the only viable UKF indirect fire, pot now legal worldwide?

Mortar emplacement is more viable now that IS reinforce has been lowered. People forget that to get the most out of it you need to use the garrison ability which improves fire rate making it quite potent. It is still map dependent but if I go royal engineer commander Brace + Stand Fast can withstand a very hard push by axis. Of course you then don't have its firing ability for a bit and you have to spend munitions on the repair but that is as it should be.

after seeing the tourney games yesterday, I think this is strongly relevant again

No matter how you put it, its 5 yo thread.
Nothing here is of any relevance to current state of the game or unit.

Also, to be fair, you should also revive some random brummbar thread, because going by tournament alone, its OP AF again too.

Imagine being this bad at the game when sim city has been nerfed off the face of the earth

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
