2v2 speaking,
Panzer werfer is useless, tho this is where I see most blobbing, and you would think it would be the most useful unfortunately, it's not.
Why?
OH having force tiering.
Your required to go tier 1. Tier 2. For AT guns. Then it's not too long before your facing fast Sherman's and Cromwells.
Most OH in 2v2 I see go tier 3 for stugs to counter cromwells, then call in. Considering the timing of tier 4. There are already 2 Cromwells on the field. "Jack of all trade" tanks that have no problem wiping grens n such. Tier 4 easily becomes too little too late.
Now let's say OH goes tier 4. A panther is ALWAYS going to have to be a first pick due to allied armour presence. Iv been seeing a lot of Cromwell and comet spam. Those tanks are simply too good vs. Everything for OH not to be able to not go Panthers, but instead go Panzer werfer.
So when it comes to the original argument of why Panzer Werfer vs calliope. I would say mainly due to, (as always) axis reacting to allied game play.
Maybe if allied armour didn't 1 shot squads or decrew AT guns so easily. Then be able to tango with armour. If grens had an extra member to recrew weapons more easily.
And then most importantly is how the two fire. The Panzer werfer is legit a hit or miss. And often when you hit. Your no longer doing the damage that is worth the wait, also panzerwerfers are 1 shotted. Calliopes are durable for reckless play.
Calliops barrage is what I would consider to have a perfect spread to it. And even if you retreat on the first Salvo or signs of fire. Often a rocket still wipes a squad. So even if you miss. You still have a chance to hit...
I know this argument is OH vs USF, and most of my argument is OH vs UKF. But 2v2s, I see British in almost every match. With the Cromwells allowing their ally, (USF) to go rocket arty or stall for whatever.
