Basically I'm considering getting the Tactical Support Doctrine but how does the Calliope compare to the Priest? Seeing replies I can definitely say Calliope is better anti-infantry but seems to perform the same damage to buildings (OKW) as the Priest. What are the pro's and con's comparing these two different artillery pieces?

i really cant see anything better about priest except the commander's mining ability.

640hp calliope means you can move it up to frontline right after you push the enemy away and barrage okw base nice and close... and do more damage than priest.

Yeah. And when you can get that close to the enemy, the accuracy is really good and the time before strike is very short

I'd say the Calliope is more of a blob wiper/ alpha strike unit whereas the Priest is more of a sustained shelling of an area unit.

I think Priest is better for making life hell around a strong point or OKW Trucks since the barrage is longer and has a shorter cooldown but Callope will more likely wipe units if catch them whereas Priest is more RNG.

Calliope has the armor if your opponent catches the unit with AT infantry or enemy tanks.

Caliope has the health (640) and armor (160) of a medium tank, the wipe potential of the werfer if used at medium range or closer (no risk considering the durability) whilst also giving a nice sustained barrage a la katusha.

Priest is cheaper.

Priest used to kill or heavily damage OKW trucks in 2 barrage at max range (Depends on RNG), after Lelic nerf arty dmg to building, Callie is just plain better, everything in Tactical Support is better really :HT >>> Mortar HT, Strafe >>> Time on Target Arty.
