Firstly, these are the autoattack values. You... deliberately, most likely, left out the barrage values.
That an utter and complete BS accusation, pls do make this personal.
This is your claim:
The main problem with the USF mortar (as well as it's main benefit) is it is a 240 manpower smoke dispenser. The AOE and
scatter for HE shells are so terrible that the
autofire is basically a writeoff and the barrage is only good versus structures (which is basically the only time you'll be using it.)
You brought up auto-fire and claim that the auto-fire scatter is "so terrible". I simply provided the numbers that prove you wrong.
Furthermore, why not take a look at the AOE distance values?
Oh, right, it doesn't fit the "USF OP" narrative, where poor, poor Ostheer gets beaten at any range by any equivalent USF unit, and Ostheer uniquely suffers from the IDF nerfs because MG spam is totally a strategy employed by literally any other faction.
I have pointed out that USF mortar has lower AOE and Range, and that is the intentional design of the unit as already posted.
If the unit had the same range AOE and Range the USF mortar would actually be a superior option due to faction design that requires static play from Ostheer and due to smaller squad sizes.
In addition you seem to completely fail to understand the implication of making the USF mortar a Ostheer clone. Ostheer are designed to rely on their support weapons and in order to do so they need to be superior. If they where not pathfinder and mortar would completely dominate Ostheer play who are bad at launching attacks.
Everyone here has moved on; you're the only one who cannot seem to accept the fact that the USF mortar is worse than the Ostheer one. The very mention of it seems to trigger a kneejerk response by you.
Again pls do not make this personal and do not speak on behalf of everyone.
The USF mortar is inferior to the Ostheer one, that is fact. But the gap is small and the mortar patch has actually reduced that gap.
I sick and tied of reading things that completely inaccurate
"the USF mortar was nerfed" or "or the USF mortar is garbage"
Unfortunately it seems that I have to repeat my 2 points:
1) USF mortar is inferior to ostheer one but not by allot and probably better than soviet, so it is inline with other mortars, basically all mortars are pretty close, (so either all mortars are garbage or none).
2) Ostheer mortars went from top of self to being slightly better than the rest so it was affected the most by the nerfs.
Now can we pls put this myths at rest and move on?
