 Don't forget though that you can only fire Lothar indirect every other turn as it takes both actions to fire indirect and then it has to load, you are much better off to fire direct if if in a good position to do so.

I rarely fire indirectly with Steel Rain.  I really like it though, as its dice mean I can generally pick a squad or Armor 3/4 vehicle on the board and crush it in a single hit.  It makes it feel more like a "sniping" vehicle.  Once its used up its rockets, it can still do damage with its Petard mortar, but I find the main reason to have it is for that surgical strike, where you take out that one unit that is somehow important to your opponent's strategy.

Post the Corps Officers in line of sight of the Steel Rain and, with a little Ammo Dump, you can fire all of its rockets twice in a row, without even needing to reload. It can be quite a blow early in the game.

Unless you miss as often as I do with the rockets and mortar . My friends have started calling it a retard mortar ftl.
