USF recon plane OP

If only there was some kind of counter that could rapidly shoot down planes and cause the other player to basically waste munitions. Also, Spec Ops flares would like to have a word with you.

I get your point, the way say this.
It makes me think you never played ost. You'd realize no allied aerial ability ability ever gets shot down as fast it happens the other way around even if had tanks with pintles, 222 and even Ostwinds.

It's true that OST is more RNG with AA but that's mostly because they have quantity over quality since they have Pintles as you say as well as possibly a 222 if you keep it alive for late game Recon. Any of which can randomly shoot done the plane let alone the chances if multiple are present. Either way an Ostwind's AA is more than good enough to shorten the duration of a Recon plane to counter it's effects even if that's the only AA on the map way before it encroaches on OP territory. It's not like Recon Plane has KT armor or something like OP would have you believe just because he watched one cast where Tightrope points out how useful the Recon Plane was...

AA can counter loiter reckon planes. On the other hand they can not stop single pass planes like the ones US, UKF and soon OKW have stock from providing los to use off maps.

OKW already has the single pass smoke plane that is also good for recon.

I think what Etheral was referring to is that Axis can get cheap okayish AA even without buulding a dedicated unit, whilr Allies are usually forced to build one.
