How is this in any way balanced?

No it doesnt. The kill radius of infantry for the ml-20 was almost halved. It was like 5.4 meters, now its 3.1 meters.


In comparison , the kill radius of the LEfh is 4 meters.


So even with 200 damage, ml-20 will still be less lethal againts infantry because of less fired sheels, less AOE, and slower rate of fire.


The ML-20 was one of the cases where Relic messed up.

ML 20 152 Artillery
We want to encourage the use of the ML20 which was previously underperforming.

Salvos increased from 4 to 8
Removed precision strike at veterancy 1
Veterancy 1 now increases the number of salvos of the ML 20 by 2 (10 Total)


It wasn't underperforming. It was rarely built because Relic made the poor decision to give a badly OP Close Air Support commander to everyone, which made on-field arty useless. I'd take the old one back in a second.

Reducing the explosion radius was a really poor decision. It used to be great blob control when you could build it. Now it isn't. With this group of strange buffs and nerfs, the Soviets have a unit that costs 600mp and doesn't do anything well. Buffing the damage back to 200 won't do much for it as long as the blast radius is so small.

If you'll be so kind as to forgive me EffenNewbie, I took the liberty of plagurising your post to concisely render the truth as it now stands.

Or as Arclyte said,
it will never get built again
...in its current state by anyone with ½ a clue. If I want to throw MP away, I'd rather just path Shock Inf onto a road to direct assault an OKW Pz.Kpfw II Ausf L. :loco:

stuka bombing run, make it to only decrew and seriously damage the gun, not outright blow it up, then we will see some real use out of it.

600mp to for 200+++ muni is a damn good deal late game.
