Man and I thought the upcoming US presidential elections was going to be heated. >.> Everyone should just let it be and realize the suspension was more or less fair.

Yes it was an amusing prank that I don't think from what I know anybody really thinks was done in an outwardly malicious or mean-spirited manner. If this was just some run-of-the-mill weekly cast or whatever it wouldn't have been a big deal, we'd all have a good laugh and move on. Problem is that it affected a tournament that was hyped and a pretty big deal in many people's eyes. (1000 viewers is nothing to scoff at). You can't mess with that kind of thing and not expect consequences even if it was all done "in fun".

What happens? They both get a proverbial slap on the wrist and get banned for a little bit. Maybe 1 week ban would have been long enough? That's not for me to say. The casters have a right to be offended by the prank as it disrupted something that they both put a lot of work into and it directly affected them. Likewise Barton and Sprice deserve to be offended at any morons who post calling for lifetime bans and other stupid crap acting like Barton and Sprice are terrible human beings for pulling what amounts to a COH2 Dennis the Menace level prank. If they want to go all doe-eyed and plead their case with the Relic overlords then that's their right but otherwise everything happened as it probably should have.

Come on people.

I'd say the Calliope is more of a blob wiper/ alpha strike unit whereas the Priest is more of a sustained shelling of an area unit.

I think Priest is better for making life hell around a strong point or OKW Trucks since the barrage is longer and has a shorter cooldown but Callope will more likely wipe units if catch them whereas Priest is more RNG.

Technically mortars already can if they penetrate a low health tank and finish it off to trigger the critical

Those stacked Mortar Armor Penetration+ Bulletins guys, amirite?

Thematically/histocially okay yes this makes sense. Balance-wise... can I have some of what you're smoking?

Personally I think Cons Vs. Grens is okay but Cons vs. Volks feels like such a struggle to me (especially if there is a SturmPio supporting them). I agree that some non-doctrinal ability or maybe side-upgrade that would allow Cons to upgrade with a single DP would be a nice addition.

Mortar Smoke bugging out all the time and not firing?

(Does anyone know what actually causes this - is it ordering the mortar to fire the barrage outside of its max range and/or if its not already set up?

I'd be happy if they kept the new vehicle pathing but just increased the max distance when a vehicle will default reverse by a bit. (I would almost always prefer my vehicles to reverse in most circumstances)
