I've tried shooting the AVRE expecting the mortar to hit the center of the circle, however it will always hit on the circumference of the circle that is nearest the tank.

Is this a bug? Has this always been like this?

Yes, i used to just get 120mm, or pak howie, you just park it somewhere, and you win. And now i have to look at infantry and my indirect fire,i dont think i can manage that. My rank will go BRRRR

I know this will sound like salt from a axis player but i will say my piece anyway.

So here goes.

1 - why does base UKF infantary have so many abilities
- they can heal(even with the 45 cost now it's just too good for the cost considering they heal in a area with just a click and the Ostheer heal is only one squad at a time and has a ''cast'' time and costs 10 each time);
-can throw a barrage (sure at cost but it is a good barrage);
-can get 2 lmgs (while i do not know the exact stats, they sure do kill my 1 lmg granadier faster);
-can bolster to 5 man(ostheer can too , but only with a command lock);
-recieve cover damage bonus(i mean why?again don't know exact stats but i think their base damge is higher already than most other squads);

2- emplacements are a pain to deal with without fire commanders like fuerstorm or with 251 mortar halftack(again this is not 2x2 where a good push can take out a position) because the brit can just brace for stukas and can outrigth kill mortar teams or at guns that are targeting it while their/or their allies troops keep pressuring you and with a 250 initial cost they come even faster not to mention they somehow have a heavy barrage now;

3-By the time a axis player gets to the fuel point, most the times the brit player is already(with the point taken or being taken) there with lmg and a universal carrier even with the 5 fuel cost it has now.And you may ask what is op about that? the brit LMG keeps your troops away, the universal carrier keeps your LMG back unless the brit misplays and takes a faust or stays in front of it. So you are just forced to give early fuel advantage to the brit most of the time

4- everybody talks about the emplacement commander being op but that is easy to deal with, the real cancer is the royal artillery one for the following reasons
-The flares migth as well be a maphack(it shows the entire frontline for only 60 ammo) very hard to deal with if the brit player has any competent allies to also make use of the vision
-the barrage is just click to remove a team weapon from a position for 100 ammo which frees all you IFs to carry heals since you don't exatly need the other upgrade now
-the valentine was nerfed thank god, so i wont mention it
-the sexton is ok, but combined with the flares it can punish hard any team weapons and foward bases.
-the perimeter overwatch is in a good place now that the duration was reduced, but again one of those click and forget abilities.

5- UKF tanks too have too many abilities, the biggest agressor of this is the Comet
-has smoke
-has white phosphorus
-has crew grenade
-has warspeed
while it's counterpart the panther only has blitz at vet 1 and a smoke with a command pick and can only kill tanks reliably and is easily counterable with any of the allies anti-tank tanks(fireflys and the like) due to inferior range

So what i feel like playing as Ostheer in 4x4 is that i need to pick a commander just to counter a single aspect of the brit faction, like maybe i pick infantary commander so my granadiers can at least compete with bolstered IFs, or maybe i pick mortar half track so i can burn the emplacements,or maybe i get a howitzer, but if i pick any of those i can't pick the elefant which is a must in 4x4 against massed fireflys and the like. while the brit can do all that even with no commander.It just feels very hard to play against brits while i don't get the same feeling against the other 2 allies.

So that is my rant, thank you to anyone who read all that and please share what you think about my points and what could be done to balance things out( i would say it is not just a matter of nerfing the UKF but giving a buff to ostheer).

Idk, the 120mm fells way worse, i just use to afk it, and it got many kills, and now i should micro it. Litereally unplayble.
