No doubt the most stupid reply iv seen from you

Then you'll be delighted to hear that it wasn't my personal opinion, but Brads own words, you can rewatch the stream for confirmation

If someone can interpret how AoE is calculated then

Radius:
-K: 6
-PW: 6
-C: 4

AoE damage multiplier:
-K: 1/0.35/0.1
-PW: 1/0.5/0.3
-C:1/0.5/0.15

This pretty much means that PW have most deadly AoE of them all on top of alpha strike damage and calliope have least deadly one.

Pwerfer at the far end of its AoE does 24 dmg while katy does 8 and calli 12 but have 50% lower radius.

you heard it here folks from australian magic

as for the damage part did u read what i said in brackets..??
lmao this guy

How about I back him up a little as you wouldn't see certain facts if they were written on a brick and thrown in your head up front

longer reload manual reload are not a disadvantage

Its not, because-exactly the same as other indirect fire arty pieces, you just drive back to the base and wait for the cooldown to go off.

In addition, other arty pieces reload for 90-140 sec.

60sec isn't invonvinient at-all.

getting disabandoned when hit by something while reloading is a advantage

Put it in base, let your other unit shoot at it when its reloading, there, enjoy exploiting game mechanic to get 2nd ST by bypassing intended 1 unit limitation, because OKW!

range doesn't matter

As long as the gun range is greater then sight range, it doesn't matter.
In fact, shorter range means less time to react for the barrage.

Feel free to ask Zarok what I did with ST yesterday.

You'd knew that if you played 10% of the time you whine on forums
Yes, its coming from me

Not really. The tech cost is for timing. Maybe relic think the AEC needs the T2+side upgrade to make this unit not come out too early because that will cause 222/251 has little time space.

So the tech cost should not be add to the unit cost. Another example, will you add the 200/50 to the comet cost? The comet will be 700/235 then. It's even more expensive than a tiger/IS2. But no, the 200/50 is just tech cost to make the comet not come out too early.

While you're right for general tech, it doesn't apply here the same way.

For all factions tech is a way of timing units to the field, but you can progress from that next battlephase, tier building or truck and transition into another one.

For brits it doesn't apply, because you're simply going for a side tech and hitting a dead end.
Inferiority of AEC to puma assures no one will ever spam them and for the very reason of dead end side tech we can easily add tech costs to the unit, we can't when we talk about its performance, but as long as all strats involving it pick no more then single one ever, then tech cost can be added to "to get" cost.

Your comet example is similar, but not the same as comet is end tech tank and you will want multiple of it, in addition you're getting abilities and passives with this tech, AEC side tech is just that, mandatory side tech that increases units cost.

If it was like it was in alpha, where the tech cost was bigger, but AEC was actually affordable and you could build a strat around getting 2-3 of them then it would be a different story, but it is how it is.

Wrong, I had a Panther shoot one in the rear armor twice directly from behind and still didn't die.

I didn't said its going to be a single burst.

It got 480 hp, it would be silly if it had hp of a halftruck, it already have barely any armor and the only units that are more expensive then it are panther, comet and heavies.
