maybe reducing its range would be enough. If you have to drive really close to your opponent your extra armor is a bit negated and you can counter it easier. Right now Calliope can stay back and is safe from pushes with a puma or any other tank. If it has to move close to the enemy its more vulnerable, and so easier to counter.

Just nerf all rocket arty to the level of the Katyusha, with price adjustments.
Give the UKF land mattress too as they are in dire need of it.

Of course if you don't build anything and do not have anything on the field (like MGs, mortars, PAKs, soldiers), then you can avoid Calliopes.

You are paying extra fuel for survivability.
It is like saying Churchill should have stronger main gun becaus it cost 180 fuel.
Keep in mind that katty cost 85 fuel and dies to anything , even to short breeeze
Stuka costs 20% more, arrives incomparably faster on field and is twice as durable while having much more firepower. For 15 more fuel.
And there, we have 80% more expensive calliope.
Considering proportions of cost, firepower and durability of other rocket arty, calliope seems about right.
Getting more then 1 also means you will NOT have any armor.
And last, but not least, there is wipewerfer which costs 85 fuel as well and annihilates everything it targets just as effectively as calli.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Stuka can be dodged with ease, and OKW delays the healing.
Calliope is doctrinal, costs less than a stuka or a pwerfer/katy (teching you forgot) and it is much better than any other arty. And having ZERO armor works just fine (spam atgs, zooks...then maybe get a M36). Wipe everythings.
Panzerwefer, comes late...delay ostheer tanks, hard to get due to T4 has insane prices. Wipe everythings.
Maybe you should get your facts right.

Mfw my P4 bounced a shot on Calliope 
The only reason COH2 is still around, is because it's preserved by salt.

Reduce its health by 1 pak shot. should take 3 pak 40 rounds to kill it.

It already has a pretty small range on the stock unit. Vet 2 grants you an increased range and Im going to say its fall off damage profile (like the pwerfer) needs adjusted/reduced

If you nerf the Calliope, you need to nerf the PanzerWerfer. That's really all that needs to be said.
Once again we have a powerful and arguably overperforming Allied unit in the game for 2v2+. Similar to the British at launch.
If we get enough complaints on the forums, then perhaps Calliope will be nerfed to hell like UKF and we can get the Axis win rate back up to 80%+ in 3v3 and 4v4 where it belongs while never seeing the unit in 1v1 again.

To be honest I think the only bad thing about the calliope is that it fires three salvos, which is like Pwerfer + Katyusha combined. Most of it's OPness stems from the fact that it's kinda new

I don't understand the argument with teching costs, you get alot more units then only a Werfer, might as well split the teching costs to one third for each unit that you can build.
Getting a Calliope delays your tanks as well. Not to mention Ostheer has much better AT options then USF stock. There is a huge difference between always penetrating tanks and not penetrating tanks, you can overextend alot more with Axis tanks then USF ones.
And a non doctirnal unit is alot better then a doctirnal unit, because you don't actually have to choose a commander. USF stock is the worst faction of all others, they actually need commanders to stay viable.
Calliope needs nerfing and it's price decreased, same as the Werfer needs nerfing + it's supression removed.

With each and every new commander realease i do understand that Relic is trying to make some extra cash but do they actually care about the game being fun? Calliope is overperforming for its cost. It is WAY too effective, mobile, has stamina and its actually able to damage a KT to 1/4 of its health if fired properly. I play all factions i am not an axis fanboy, and it makes me mad when something is really unbalanced. Calliopes should be either limited to one per player, or make it weaker i.e like every other mobile rocket arty ingame, or reduce its health. Its rediculous that a calliope can take 3 shreks and a raketen shot an yet its able to make it out alive. Just my POV. Regards
That wouldnt make sense to have the durability of a MEDIUM tank the same as a unarmored truck.........
And limiting to one you're then also saying panzerwfer stuka and katy will also be limited to one also then right?
See though on the other side, a kubel can takes 2 shots from an allied tanks and AT gun.... and also 2 zooks shots doesn't kill it either.
Relic balance.

reduce caliope damage and slightly increase AoE problem fixed or if Relic's intended role for Caliope is also AT then just reduce the AoE a bit and increase scatter.
