If you move, it can't change targets. It's on a cool down. It costs muni. It can be a fairly unreliable ability - there are time s it just collides with something else. Usually craters.

You literally had to stand around for it to do that. I've never wiped a squad with it, because people either move or retreat. Then the damn thing is on cooldown and you can't do anything.

Generally it boils down to this - After you've tried to upgrade your fusiliers you can possibly squeeze in a barrage or two. You can keep doing it but you'll lock yourself out of your doctrinal arty.

So no, the JT isn't a thing that I would consider to use against infantry. Have you ever tried it? It's a pretty terrible ability. It might work if it were a timed damage toggle but if you move out of the barrage area to either charge it or retreat then it's pretty much done because it can't follow up any shots.

The Ost mortar is a lot better. The USF mortar ends up being an overpriced smoke delivery unit. Maybe you're thinking of the Soviet mortar, which is only a tiny bit worse.

I wouldn't mind making the Pack howie more like an artillery piece, if they would at least boost the USF mortar to match the Soviet one. The Ost mortar would be OP if used against Ost because of having to keep Grens stationary.

If you want to talk about balance there plenty of other thread about Super heavies.

This thread is about their requirements and going into balance is actually off topic. Thanks you.
