This is a poor argument for sure ill take it.
His argument was “go play ost and figure it out“ yet i only see theorycrafting and no ostheer games.

it is terrible its fakin worthless other than smoking mgs. Complete crap i have to build this POS mortar just to smoke mgs. Whats really funny is when it gets wiped by the first shell from OST mortar ive had that happen SEVERAL times. Garbage.
I had games where OST mortar wiped 2 IS squads right off the bat in cover. Or leaves them with a sliver of HP that are easily wiped and sniped by grens. Thats fine tho.
Really usf mortar has crap range already why cant it be decent at least instead of useless other than smoking mgs. It needs to be effective at least or your forced to choose captain every time to get pak howie or a doct with mortar HT. Or give rifles back smoke. "just flank" dosent work on half these dota 3 lane maps designed perfectly for axis mg arc.

TLDR: OST Mortar ROF bypass its "downsides" of low accuracy because it fires 2x the amount of shells leading it to gain vet faster only making better. Its high ROF also gives it a high chance of hitting larger squads (thus nullifying your "Muh 4 man squads) and a higher chance for squad wipes.

I had a game where Vet 0 ZIS Gun penetrated KT frontal armour 4 times in a row.
Does that make ZIS gun OP?

Problem with the actual range is when you are at max range, Ostheer mortar is at mid range. If you want to use it effectively vs a HMG you need to be at mid range which is inside the HMG range and sometime there isn't much shot blocker to cover you.

its funny that Usf has 2 non doc indirect fire plaforms but none of them is not good as wermaht mortar its sad actually

Don't forget the scott, it is also a non doc indirect fire platform and it is pretty mobile. I dont really see the purpose of the usf mortar but they made it available at tier 0 to smoke out hmg spam, if you use it a bit risky, in the front line, you will have amazing results (I sure have!).

USF mortar is fine, aside from the poor range.
@skemshead I would suggest you play against the ost mortar before commenting on the usf mortar.
