"Le.IG 18
The Le.IG is being made to require more micro to use at its full potential, but will now be more readily available and will now allow OKW players to be aggressive against support heavy builds through the deployment of smoke.
...
Auto-fire range from 100 to 80"
same as Ostheer/Soviet mortar.

Is there any justifiable balance reason for this unit and the pack howitzer not being able to retreat?
Like Would they be too strong if they could retreat? I certainly don't think so. It seems like they just wanted to make them different for the hell of it.
+ 1
-Give pack howie and isg retreat button
-Give isg normal/higher cost
-Give isg better aoe
-Give pack howie a lower cooldown
So much bs useless unit for the "muh asimmetrical balance"
ITS A FKN FIELD GUN (AKA Artillery) WHY THE F DID THEY NERF IT TO MORTAR STATUS!! AAARRGGGHH!!!

First of all, you are not using your Pack howitzer/Leig properly if you let it get attacked by... anything. It would become more of a ''get out of jail free card'' much like the raketen, which would render flanking this weapon pointless to attempt....
Kinda like 120mm

That's doctrinal though, and is a heavy mortar, not really comparable to the Leig(especially regarding overall performance).

Just like any other team weapon?

Duh. The exceptions would be HMG's for obvious reasons, but in general letting indirect fire being attacked by infantry etc is generally not a good way to play. That someobe wants to use it as an argument for giving the Leig a retreat button is laughable.

It is it funny that the ISG and Raketen are similar sizes, yet one can retreat, and one cannot. Isn't the logic suppose to be behind the fact the ISG has a shield so it's units sit in green cover?the rak should not retreat give us the pthe pak 38

In reality mortar shell are generally more powerful than howitzer shell of the same caliber. This is because a mortar shell have a higher firing arc and thus drop closer to a 90 degree angle.
Mortar shell also typically have more High explosive filler as the lower velocity allow for a thinner wall.
the main advantage of a field gun over a mortar is generally range, not destructive power.

So mortars shouldn't be able to retreat by your logic right?

Dunno how you compare mortars to support guns, but ok.
