I find it pretty effective, but the price is steep yes.

it is a howitzer, nor an infantry . What is your problem? Dont lose models, that is it. Plus it works with 3 man as i see.
Its a howitzer with mortar range.
How do you plan on using it without bringing it into charms way?
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Being probably one of the few players who uses this even after the direct-fire nerf, the main thing it needs imho, is a cost decrease, a fix on the crew price and maybe either less scatter or reduced reload for standard HE(not HEAT) rounds (not both). Maybe, maybe extend the barrage from three to something higher.
I used to think it was a mortar unit that fire directly, but it's a direct-fire gun that can act like a pseudo mortar/howitzer.

It's actually a very good unit, but only excels in certain scenarios.
-Use it against blobs. It has HUGE AOE, especially at mid-range. If it fires into a blob of 3-4 squads it's going to thin the herd in a jiffy.
-Stall blobs into firefights while it auto-fires
-2 of these, while expensive, will make blobbers really pay the price
-Once it gets HEAT round, it's a decent stand-in for the 57mm against light and medium tanks
-Barrage is terrible and does almost no damage... use it only when autofire is not an option
-It's possible to autofire and then barrage fire a shell immediately after for a double shell... one other niche use for barrage
-White phosphorous doesn't seem cost effective since it doesn't kill anything. Might be alright against OKW reinforcement point before bum-rushing it with your army.
