I simply don't understand it? How do you take the one thing that probably axis AND ally fan boys could agree on that it was pure cancer (loiters) and make them 100 times more powerful? Brilliant game design, lelic, brilliant...

That's just not true, the Wehr one is equally, if not even more, cancerous. But that's beyond the point, loiters are just bad game design and I don't understand why they doubled down on them and made them even STRONGER. Wtf??

Yeah super disappointed at loiters being in the game. Its weird becuz its clearly unnecessary. US has some rly strong non-loiter abilities that are arguably OP as well, so why even have loiters to begin with?

An upgraded air support center combined with muni drops from airborne bgroup is super abusable. But i dont feel bad about it at all when dealing with hardcore turtling

I think it is not only disappointing that they are in the game again, but rather that they are beefed up as well, as if loiters weren't cancer enough. One strafe nearly killing a medium tank is just mind-boggingly stupid.

Wait... a strafe and a loiter are different things.

Strafes are when you call in an airplane and it makes a single (strafing) run. They are more powerful in 3 than 2 but can still be dodged, they're fine and that's a valid game decision.

Loiters are when planes stay around (i.e. ... loiter) over a large area and make multiple attacks.

And yea, loiters are the worst thing in CoH and literally ruin the game. They said on some interviews there won't be any, guess they caved in on that one.

Yes, you are right. I just noticed the mistake so late and I don't think you can edit the title of a post. I was talking about loiters of course, strafes are fine.
