Concentrated barrage is cheap and *CAN* counter the LEFH, but kills the howitzer itself maybe 1/3 of the time at best. It is anything but reliable.

Well the others are arty: cover a different type of area, have a more spread damages and take longer to land.

Howitzers can't move. The time it takes to get there shouldn't matter. Time on target for USF has a wicked long delay but it still gets the job done
Sexton and priest can move, but that's why they cost significantly more fuel. They're also easier to kill with diving vehicles

Concentrated barrage >> i feel like as long as you can maintain vision, it's reliable that it destroys the LeFH. It's not 80% but i'll say 2/3 times (or better) it destroys it if it's barely damaged. At full HP i'll say 50/50.

I think people missunderstood the point of the thread. I know there are 1 click off maps that delete howitzers, I’m only asking why the IL2 is uncounterable. It’s not just about howitzers, the IL2 precision strike is most often used gainst superheavy tanks so I wanted to ask if this is intended not to be counterable by AA or if the ability is overperforming by being immune to AA.
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.

I'm pretty sure it's the same counter as most strafes: Dodge

No I know what you're talking about. The topic is about using off-maps to counter howitzers. Howitzers can't move, so the time it takes for your off-map to hit doesn't matter

You can't dodge when your super heavy gets rammed and you roll heavy engine damage or immobilized.

No ability in the game is like IL2 precision strike, since it has stock ram and the barrage has tight scatter and almost kills a super heavy in 1 salvo.

Well, there is rocket strafe, which costs half the muni and arrives faster.

And has much worse scatter, can easily hit buildings far from the target and doesn't do as much damage as a result.
Please install before you get an opinion on the matter ktnx I don't give a shit about what happend 4 years ago when you played.

Have you even used soviet airborne?

Why the hell should it have 0 counterplay? Why should RAM + RNG heavy engine/immobilized roll + IL2 = Dead Super heavy no matter what?

The counterplay is kill the t34 before it gets there

For the love of god stop repeating this, there is 0 counter to a T34 rushing you right away in an open field while you're immobile and it's hard to dodge it unless you're moving. You have 0 chance if you're moving towards it.
Stop this garbage, it's been debunked in every single thread when it's brought up.
