Since I had read plenty of post that claim that USF mortar specifically is was nerfed and garbage I wanted to end this myth, so that I do not have to read it again.


Its scatter is objectively worse because it has the same scatter values at 5 lower range. It also lacks any kind of vet 1 ability.

I'm not saying the USF mortar is bad, but it's arguably worse than the standard Soviet and Ostheer mortar when looking at performance and utility. Harder to compare it to the 120mm and UKF mortar pit, because those are much more situational.

That is a misconception it applies to accuracy and not scatter that is a linear value.

I think some people just expect too much from the after normalized mortars, that was a good change imo, but also, in 4v4s any mortar when paired or spammed, they all are cancer, it doesnt matter if it is German or american

That's really obvious now that I think of it. :sibPheasant:

Because i already wasted time putting the AoE values before i left.

I'm sure anyone else can put the scatter values for the rest of the units.
This is what i have from another post



120mm is not worth it, if you have T2 set up. You hit once in a blue moon, more so with it's slow RoF. If you need a mortar and don't have T2, you might save the 160 worth of building the tier.


Thanks! I thought it shot slower but couldn't find it.

Even if you don't currently have T2, it probably would be better to build T2 and the regular mortar. The 120 still eats up 10? pop, so in a long game it could have as much as 300 mp more of upkeep. Add in the fact that it doesn't have a vet 0 flare and the unit is all-around garbage.

I normally have better experience with the Ost mortar than any of the allied ones, but don't get too excited about it. The soviet one has a very useful flare while the USF one is still competent at clearing garrisons and delivering smoke. It's a little disappointing that they always use mortar duels with an equal number of OST mortars but it isn't game-breaking.

I think the LEIG needs a small accuracy nerf. One is annoying and forces a lot of retreats. Two of them are pretty good at wiping squads, especially team weapons like mortars.

Usf mortar is still sh-t outside smoke and small buildings. But you will notice I never make usf mortar threads (maybe because I always take the path of least resistance). Anyway, soviet and ostheer sniper openings were always my forte. I will come back to usf in later patches, but I will continue to voice my concerns on usf in the meantime.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
Last Thursday, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.
