Not much, but something: It's the only early-war DF weapon I can recollect that can hit enemy units at maximum spotting range. Granted, it won't do much on the 2 column at that range (or the 4 column with op fire), but it does mean they can't just fart in your general direction if they remain beyond AFV or HMG fire range while their OBA pounds you into paste (a problem in those overlong scenarios from early games). Best use for it in that situation is probably to target their leaders; disrupt their top-ranking officer and you've at least momentarily killed their ability to activate most of their force in one segment through subordinate activation.
