le.IG 18 should have better penetration, damage, and less scatter in vet 5.

However, currently vet 5 le.IG barrage deals same penetration, damage, and scatter as vet 4 le.IG

Maybe something is bugged with vet 5 of this unit?

What is its current veterancy bonuses anyways?

Vet 1 is +25% smoke barrage range
Vet 2 is +33% smoke barrage range and -23% received accuracy
Vet 3 is -40% barrage and smoke barrage reload
Vet 4 is +1 shell per barrage
Vet 5 is +15% penetration, +15% damage and -20% scatter

So basically pretty useless vet except for vet5, but that's incredibly rare to reach anyways since it can't retreat.

You get almost 60% more effective range to smoke stuff and 1 Shell more. also you can fire almost twice as fast again.
I don't know your rank but if you use smoke in your games, this is a real nice addition, because Ost otherwise has none.

No shit, but since you'll want it autofiring in between barrages it'll be close enough to the front for the default max smoke range anyway so extra smoke barrage range is rarely useful. It's not like moving the thing forward a bit is so micro intense either.
Barrage recharge is nice but you'll rarely be able to make full use of its potential nonstop.

I'd rather see scatter reduction or the bonus damage moved to vet 2 or 3 so it'll be more effective sooner and it wouldn't be as punishing to lose the crew everytime (since it can't retreat). The Pack Howi gets its damage buff at vet2 too.

This is the vet I've longed for!

IDK, I find that after the AoE buff last patch that Vet0 ISGs are pretty effective - considering they removed scatter Vet from Mortars it doesn't make sense to move up scatter Bonuses for ISG. Otherwise you run risk of ISG spam dominating again (especially when supported by forward trucks.)
