Was using the M8 in my last match, and it didn't seem like it was doing all that well. Even direct hits didn't seem to kill infantry.

Has the US's already terrible indirect gotten even worse?

I think I remember Cruzz saying its shells got reduced AoE.

Thank god, now axis might stand a chance against USF late game.

Sigh... Why is this crummy thing even a non-doctrinal. Every other faction gets an awesome rocket artillery, and USF is stuck with a glorified mortar on treads.

Well UKF gets no significant arty at all, just the crummy base howitzers you need to throw flares to fire and the Sexton which is worse than the priest in every meaningful way.

wait this is the pack howitzer right? I thought it still just sucked

I built like 3 for the first time in 10 months and they got about 10 kills total(seperate games)

I honestly never built Scotts, even when people whined about them being OP.

they were sooooo worth it when they came out and had direct fire trajectory, but after that they couldn't be used vs vehicles and became less effective vs infantry. But since that change Shermans have been better at map control and getting kills even considering the price difference

regardless the nerf was highly unecessary
