Performance-wise molotovs are just fine where they are. I'm not so sure about the fuel cost for the unlock though.

Question on sighting for arty: If you have line of sight when you call the barrage, but lose it before the barrage begins firing/part way through the barrage, what happens to the scatter?

The 222 should perform like a scout car, because it is a scout car.

This. The 222 should be able to protect isolated points from lone capping units, harass enemy snipers, and provide good reconnaissance to enhance the effectiveness of MGs and AT guns. It shouldn't be a counter to light tanks, Ostheer has enough of those already. It shouldn't be an offensive shock unit, that doesn't fit with the faction playstyle or the other units available at that point in the game.

With that in mind the 222 could use a slight buff to its firepower against individual infantry squads (with a commensurate cost increase), and some other improvement that enables it to kill isolated/fleeing snipers more easily. Vet bonuses should work to enhance its reconnaissance capabilities so it can remain useful later in the game. It doesn't need any buff to its penetration or survivability.

1: The problem with Pzwerfer, Calliope and (to lesser extent) stuka is they deliver massive burst damage with great precision, with minimal risk or munitions cost. In a game about unit preservation, being able to delete team weapons and garrison units before they can react is bad design.

2: MGs are not effective at blob-countering past the early game, and conventional artillery is not effective at doing much of anything. Thus the heavy lifting of blob-countering, building attack, and bombarding enemy positions prior to attack all falls down to the rocket artillery units. In order to be able to do this the units have to be super strong.

3: The three offending parties need to have their ability to quickly wipe units decreased, and changes made so they aren't trying to fill the gaps that lackluster MGs and conventional artillery are creating. Certain changes could be made in the area of reduced precision, longer firing time, reduced damage (but suppression added).

4:Likewise the off maps that render fixed artillery useless, and the general shittiness of mobile tube arty should be looked at. The fact that basic infantry have the ability to beat MGs in frontal assaults is also bad design and should be addressed.

Very map dependent. On some maps it does give a big advantage. On most maps though I think it's fine; it gives map control but it's vulnerable to bombardment and losing it is a major setback, usually costing the game in 1v1. I wouldn't mind seeing a small decrease in penetration so it isn't so effective against medium tanks.
