I don't really agree. Seems fine when I use it. He was probably facing a opponent with a very mobile build. It's not going to do much if the enemy keeps moving.

anecdotally, it has put in some of the worst indirect fire performances i've ever seen perhaps in the history of this franchise... especially in the context of the pack howitzers performance. the thing is hideous.
we would agree the USF and Soviets are generally speaking, fairly mobile, yet the GrW84 still rains hell on them.

It's still in a pretty mediocre spot IMO.
The delayed fuse rounds are horrible to say the least and investing in the unit is not really worth when you can get a pack howi from Captain tier which is 10 times better.
The only positive note about it are the non-vet WP shells, but still, really situational.

You need to use the phosphorus barrage and not let it only auto-attack.
Phosphorus on the target + attack ground to kill it. It works well vs defensive players.
If the 1st phosphorus shells directly hit the target, cancel it and ground-attack it for a maximum effect before the player reacts.
The unit is fine, I can't see any reason to increase or decrease its price / stats.

If it got vet for damage done with phosphorus it would be better
My place in the ladder is irrelevant as long as I am matched with opponents of the same rank and play all factions (balance at place 1000+ is no different from balance in top 100 if we consider what I said before the brakets) so I don't care about your assertion which is also irrelevant.

I am realistic and thoughtful.
You're the one who is blind to that, ignoring overpowering synergy that would create for ost, imbalancing completely their tiering and tech pace.

Its only use is for more accurate WP on the Battlegroup HQ, otherwise it is worthless...

Every recent patch they seem to buff it, every time I make a point to try it out again and still get the same general "meh not worth the fuel" feeling. I do agree that the White Phos barrage is quite handy in certain situations but that of course requires you to spend more Muni just to make it useful.
They should add suppression to its shells to make it's autoattack more useful and balance out the current ISG spam meta

It's accuracy is the same as the Ostheer mortar ht I believe, it just has a lower rate of fire.

It should be better. I mainly use it as a early infantry support until howies are up for the real punch. I then use the mortar truck as a distraction for the ISG, then counter arty with the howie(s).

The ROF is almost the same between the two because the Ostheer mortar HT has a longer cooldown but no reload while the USF mortar HT has a longer reload but shorter cooldown.
The scatter on the USF HT is much, much lower (meaning it's more accurate)
The damage and AoE profiles are the same, I think the difference is the scatter on the USF mortar HT's barrage is higher (by a tiny bit) than the Ost Mortar HT's barrage.

you guys can pick apart stats on a sheet, but the end result is a mortar HT that gets single digit kills while firing on the enemy all game
If the stats say it has good accuracy, then something is bugged.

do you barrage, or do you auto attack? do sit far back, or do you try to fire from as close as possible? does the enemy constatnly move? there are a lot of different factors that will determine how well ur half track does. from my experience it does fairly well thanks to WP ability. interestingly enough it seems like the WP impact actually deals damage, which no other WP type ability does, so you can kill units with it.
