Early warning is both broken and buggy, both annoying to play with and again. Recon flare is outright broken.
In royal artillery, early warning can be replace by something like recon section, whichs have flare like PF, and if possible, replace valentine by artillery officer, allowing valentine to be adjusted and be stock.

i think in a faction without pinpoint rocket arty the flares at 120-150 muni would be fine, that isn’t the case though

The fact that it costs the same as a recon plan but is uncounterable AND foesnt give any of the cues is just insulting to balance tbh

Recon flares are broken.
HOWEVER, They are axis’ only way to get vision as the quad just snaps planes out of existence instantly.
If recon planes are nerfed to compensate I would suggest an AA nerf to the quad

Most of my ideas are probably bad, - but I try and share lots of them
and maybe some of them will be good an improve the game
One can hope

Recon is already in the game. The only thing unique about artillery flares/early warning is that they are uncounterable, and that's not a good thing
Then why not make all artillery strikes plane based too, they too are uncounterable.

its counter is simply 'dodge'
Also that artilery needs vision and providing vision can cause suffering... Are these same now ?

But... that's the exact point of this thread, isn't it?
Flare based recon has no risk, 100% reliability and is uncounterable while also giving no "warning" on the map that you're being scouted and where unless you see the flares on main screen.
Scout planes need to get there and they circle over scouted area, making player anticipate something there.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Last time I checked, Stukas had a very loud firing time. Dodge people, dodge! It's not like the flares can make the rockets home in on your units.
In any case, the value of this ability is decreased by the upcoming IFHT rework: "Vision now narrows to 120 degree arc when set-up and increases vision to 70".
Though I will say that if the Command Panther gets buffed to compensate...….

Id say giving arty flares smaller area which they reveal would be decent compensation for fact they are not possible to counteract.

so we are talking about counter and not to counter abilities....
So what's about the SU spynetwork. Cant counter that either? or ?
by the way how can OKW counter on map arty ? if u remove all flares ...
maybe build luchs and wait for vet1 ?

People are fine if the flare is attached to a unit (example mortars or PF).
People are not fine with 1 click button from commander slot which can't be acknowledge where they are been used nor counter/destroyed, while also providing vision for other abilities to proc. If OKW needs a way to scout to kill offmap, scout planes do the work fine. What scout planes can't do is enable artillery or planes which requires vision to do their job if there's AA in the zone.
Spynetwork is minimap only information IIRC.

And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

They CAN be changed, they powers that be just don't want to change them because apparently the commanders would bu up if they didn't have abilities that are literally uncounterable and defying the idea of counter play in them. The fact that okw arty flares currently cost the same as a COUNTERABLE recon plane that is insult to injury, but the very design of it is poor regardless.
