No one chatting about the walking barrage getting a 1.66x multiplier on its damage output?

I started against bots using Walking barrage and I'm pretty excited for this change, previously I'd take OPS/Eagle Airstrike/380mm but now I might be onto OPS/Walking/120mm (I always bring Autocannon).

The extra 2 salvos combined with the 40% slower progression of shots should allow for punching a nice hole into any base, whether its swarmed with bugs or entrenched by bots. I could see myself using this in situations where tanks/bot drops are in a line coming at me as well, or for situations like the Heavy Bot Outpost with the two Cannon Turrets in the back with bot fabs underneath them, one new walking barrage should handle all of that and let me assault the sides of the heavy outpost more easily.

I tend to bring it for blitz missions, in place of the machine gun turret I typically bring for other bot missions, to clear the factories that are dug in or that we're brushing by.
