Only so many vetoes. After playing City 17 and Red Ball Express a billion times something newer can be preferable. Not to mention Montargis, Hill 331, and Vielsam.

Pretty much any new map gets the better chance on virtue of being new and bad instead of old and bad.

the Wehrmacht mortar has longer range than the usf mortar. you can't underestimate that. the grw can shoot the usf 81mm while being invulnerable to it.

everybody freaks out about how good the usf mortar is, but it really isn't that good. it's good, don't get me wrong, but its not samson's jawbone or anything like that. it's just the faction design/match up that makes it so much more effective. if Wehrmacht had a better ability to assault early game the usf mortar would be useless as usf had nothing to defend it really. if you could run some infantry at it, like usf can against wehr once the mg42 retreats/dies it would be worthless. basically the grw depends on the mg42 and grens to let it do its work, the usf mortar can just go right up to the front and start barking since almost nothing can take a run at it.

again, the problem isn't the mortar so much as it is the match up. in this particular match up, its very difficult for wehr to counter the usf mortar. lack of a decent light vehicle, and the stuart as a super counter to light vehicles makes it even worse.

in my experience, as wehr, you have to get your mortar shooting at their mortar as soon as possible and as much as possible to minimize the damage it does and keep it off the field. as a usf player, I much prefer the pack Howie to the mortar anyway.

I don't think its hopeless, but the match up definitely favors USF.

I just wonder why you add Firefly with tulip. That thing costs 150 ammo just to fire once. The said ammo can be used by axis with stun shot and stuka anti-tank/cas.

Firefly without tulip is just an overpriced M36. Without it, everyone will just use comet/cromwell for better efficiency.

With that, I have really bad impression of your OP. Sorry for misunderstanding last time again.

maybe considerung pershing double shot mechanic. dont know if it affects dps greatly, burstwise it does

im much more amazed about su85 - almost the same DPS as stug but having 10 range more is huge
