Actually, their resource income is exactly the same. The Axis player just has the middle VP.

Territory size doesn't matter, and often it comes down to a difference of 4 muni and 3 fuel, which is not that much. People throw hundreds of manpower away sometimes to hold a standard territory point for an extra minute. Usually it won't mean much difference.

But yeah, the MG42 being in t0 kept only USF in mind, without taking into account the impact on Soviets.

Or some kind of cooldown between barrages. It doesn't have to be long, but since it's automatic, it shouldn't be a constant.

Mortars fire by scatter, which means that where the shell lands is going to be randomized by specific values.

A shell may aim for a specific entity and almost certainly miss by at least a small margin.

But, if 5 squad members are humping each other just off that target, they could eat the entire 'missed' shell for a devastating blow.

Solution?

Decrease the lethal radius, increase the non lethal radius.

If only an absolute direct hit killed infantry, and near misses dealt, say, 30, then a constant barrage of mortar shells may not be nearly as devastating a shock to a squad. Regardless, players would have the chance to react with a damaged squad instead of watching a squad get freak-wiped.

But ultimately, barrages would be for directing fire through FoW on certain (static) targets, as is their current function.

But honestly, to stick to the OP's topic, I feel that the barrage should either be more accurate, or more rapid than the auto-fire (for the factions that don't have the more accurate barrage, which I think is the soviet stock mortar.)
