Did its suppression work? Or did it just murder the infantry?

Didn't see, only a vehicle exploding after a shell. If there was any inf, they were not visible in the black smoke. Was breathing AT nades and tangling with the guy on left too much to look over much. Very noisy though, kept wondering if I was next.

Yeah they managed to buff a unit they were trying to nerf. FailFish
No, they were trying to change it into something that deals more reliable damage. It used to be so unreliable that it was good only for meme games.

I know but they were still trying to nerf the unit by making it less of a nuker and more of a howitzer but instead basically just made it a much better ML-20. At least previously the ML-20 and B4 had their own roles. Now the B4 will probably just overshadow the ML-20.

While on the topic of the B4 it should have simply been a Pak 43 clone with Vet 1 ability to allow it to shoot its 1 big shot occasionally (with an ammo cost of course)
Instead they made it into an ML-20 that doesn't tickle things. This is what happens then they don't listen to feedback and instead push their own agendas from their own little group.

Saw this coming from a mile away. Possibly another JLI scenario from the balance team. Will wait and see how it plays out though.

There were threads with multiple hundreds of posts requesting that they do something about the B4, including a long one where a lot of people wanted it in Tank Hunters. This wasn't an agenda from their "own little group", it was what a bunch of people were lobbying them to do. It wasn't any different when a group of people lobbied them to make the Panzerfusiliers CP0 and buff them to be similar to volks.
As for it "overshadowing" the ML20, the ML20 is "overshadowed" hard by the LEFH. The AOE seems about the same but the fewer shells means the LEFH vets faster and normally wins an arty duel. I don't think this patch will change that, other than eliminating the auto-win from counter battery.

OKW has a nondoc recon plane, OST has a variety of commanders with Recon.

Some examples:
- Give it a ammo price per use
- give it a huge popcap... Or u can have 6 or 7 and make it only 1 or 2 buildable
- give it a much longer shooting cd
- nerf the dmg
- give it something like an indicator where the shells land... Like red flares or give it a loud sound when shooting.
Or or or..

There was so many way to make it not op:

Hahahahahaha.
- give it a huge popcap... Or u can have 6 or 7 and make it only 1 or 2 buildable
Why? It does much less overall damage then ML-20 potentially, so by your logic, it should get huge popcap DECREASE, so you can get more.
- give it a much longer shooting cd
You mean like exactly what they did?
- nerf the dmg

Which indirect fire unit does that?
You're clueless so much it hurts.
The goal was to BUFF it, because it was irrelevant RNG meme unit.
It was made theoretically into more reliable one, so it can be expected for it to hit something.
Its still much weaker then ML-20 and if its wiping your whole armies, ML-20 would do exactly the same thing, but better.
Stop camping and blobbing.
