Calliope OMG

You obviously haven't seen the Katyusha exploit 

Shht.

[bopokippo]

Tell the katyusha to attack ground. it can fire like 400 meters and in a continuous barrage, no breaks. SO awesome. 2v2s it gets you vet 3 in about a minute. Next minute, you're destroying their base form your base

You should try it while you can, it is going to be removed in the next released patch.

Yes but for the love off god don't do it in a PvP game unless they are okay with it. Its not fun to sit there watching your base explode in 10 seconds (I have experienced it)

  funny thing you mention that...

katyusha was nerfed to extremes (IMO) when the spread changed to a Calliope pattern, i hardly ever use propaganda now.

as to OP, i would have to say nein, while they will mess you up if you're not careful (as they should) like most artillery it can't take out all forces in one go. (if you want overpowered say god of war)

in VCOH, wasnt the cap 3 callis?

[bopokippo]

Yeah, cheap as they are, katyushas are kind of lackluster. I think their rockets do less damage than callies as well and they shoot for a shorter period of time. I think the hardcap should be 4-5 and the spread reduced or damage increased slightly.

[Pac-Fish]

Hardcap for Calliopes is 2. Kats are 3. Kats are cheaper and less lack luster do to the fact they practically sit in a artillery + support doctrine full of abilities. Calliopes must carry the rest of its doctrine around (not that all of its abilitie are bad but still). Also KAts were kinda OP b4 so they've been nerfed .

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

Early versions of COH had no limit for calliopes lol

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

By that time, these beasts were even able to fire their main guns.. 

[Tankbuster]

Their Barrages did cost muni though. 125 IIRC

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

and they came out at 4 cp, right before the pershing
