Might be that part of the squad was standing closer to the area you commanded them to throw it than the rest of the squad.
But yeah if it were to stick it should have satchel range. Wasn't aware it had 2 more range.
That proposition doesn't really make sense. If anything, it should be land mattress in hammer and sexton remains in the doctrine basically named after it.
Giving sections an anti-vehicle gammon would let them be that much more aggressive because they could actually threaten vehicles at all, and would help in combined arms assaults. I don't see how that's not relevant to hammer. It's also a pretty easy solution since they already have gammon bombs anyway and it'd be a small tweak that makes sense in context with at satchels.
I just think it's odd the "hammer" tech that players imagine will be good vs support weapon wall and dug in trucks is actually pretty bad with no indirect options.
Anvil canister makes sense as it's good as defensive arty and area denial.
But now hammer and anvil tech is switched in its role. Emplacements and repair have been nerfed but arty flare buffed and Churchill buffed into a good place, so anvil is great at assaults.
Hammer is just sort of directionless with a meh tank. Giving it an indirect option and comet buff would make sense.
One option with hammer is doing something with the base howitzers, maybe allow extended range on callin with pyro upgrade. Double range or something
