Priest vs. Calliope

[skorzenydeathangel]

To me, Priest is so much better than Calliope. I wonder, what the hell is Calliope even good for.
Do you know that?

IMO, with 3-4 Calliope... can do much more damage continuously. One is ready to fire every couple of seconds....

The calliope can be useful if you get it right on minim range before firing, as it is far more accurate than the priest. Also the mg on it can do some damage if you need to stop a cap

Calliope is better when directed at infantry/light fortified positions, especially when they're moving, it's a lot easier to compensate for their movement and counter. Priest is better at consistant damage over a larger area for higher value emplacements and fortifications.

The Calliope can counter pwerfers pretty easy as it spreads a the rockets in a circle that is far enough to get pwerfers that are currently relocating and it doens't take too many rockets to take pwerfers down. The priest can only snipe pwerfers or stukas if they are standing still works best with the vet1 ability as the first shot will always be right on the target and is enough to take down rocket arty pieces. The Calliope doctrine offers a different playstyle if you want to be a bit more agressive as you can use more recon options beside major planes and get a strong (maybe slightly overpriced) ai strafe. Another bonus for the Calliope doctrine is the m5 halftrack that might be your aa if you went captain and have no soviet teammates or you brit teammates lost or do not want to play a Centaur.

Yeah, A-holes like you say that. But I ask myself if I should not have used it. But I play for fun and not to win as fast as possible. Cause if I had used it, it would have been a hell of a job to manage the forces real good, so I would not lose it too fast. I like to smoke during battle and not to concentrate 100 %.
So, thanks A-hole.

btw never ever position at guns like this. Too easy to overrun or wipe from arty.
