Caliope is still a waste of a commander slot. Its rockets lands way too slow, allowing the opponent plenty of time to move their infantry out of the fire zone. If relic wants USF players to use this unit over priest, they need to do sth about its firing speed

Got another game in. Cover to cover seems to miss something. I have to actively force myself to use it and it doesn't seem to be just me as during the games Miragefla was able to set up in yesterday's stream, no one seemed to use it as well.

Smoke is mostly to save a tank or flank/smoke an mg, but in both cases you don't need sprint. So you end up overpaying every time you use it for those purposes, which seem to be the only ones. The increase to three shells also doesn't do much in my book as 3 are as good as 1 shell for those scenarios and increasing the number of shells doesn't help to make the ability more appealing.

20s is also not realistically useable since it's within the radius of the cast ability not global.

My suggestion: lower the cost to 50 munition, make it 1 smoke shell with faster cast time and sprint for units within 30 for 5 seconds. With this the ability is relatively cheap (almost as cheap as smoke pods for the ost commander). The faster cast time makes it overall more useful. Maybe also make it possible to be cast without line of sight.
