I've devastated 16 infantry models(11 cons and 5 shocks) with single rifle nade last night.
No AoE reduction will help if you blob or mass retreat, this is the punishment for bad play.
LeFH does exactly the same to allied infantry when it hits them.
The damage matters only against armor/structures. If you'll get a hit on infantry, it WILL die.
If you have clumped up infantry when the shell hits, well, maybe you shouldn't blob so much(i know its your fav playstyle, but the arty is intended hardcounter for it), maybe you shouldn't mass retreat?
Because there is nothing that prevents you from repairing your trucks between barrages.
On a related note-how about we made it so sturmtiger can't wipe any inf unless it directly hit the squad in the middle? I don't see how anyone complaining about ML-20 and B4 before would not be in support of such change.
The ML-20 and B4 don't cost 160 fuel while being limited to one. The LefH also has a much smaller kill radius on it's explosion than the ML-20 does. Like I said; just reduce the damage on the ML-20 to something reasonable like 200 and we would be fine. Also regardless of what change we make to it OKW NEEDS a counter to it.
I don't blob either, but w/e I assume your to lazy to look through any of my replays.
