I never understood the concept of "Counter Barrage".
What is the purpose of this ability?
Can anyone explain what it does specifically and its benefits.
Currently, I do not see any real reason in using this ability especially for a mortar!
Micro-tax avoidance.
You could wait for enemy artillery to shoot and then barrage where you see then, and also queue up an attack-ground order in case that turns out to not be enough.
Or you could press Counter-Barrage and micro everything else in your army instead.
I'm told the accuracy of the barrage ain't half-bad:
...but I confess I haven't watched it closely enough to be sure that wasn't just a freak occurrence.
