Using them is basically cheating.
The enemy cant even escape with full hp vehicles that get an immediate retreat order.
Since they target tanks you actually punish yourself by actually building tanks.
I am at a loss of words how this bullshit could make it past beta.

I was ranked 1 in 1vs1 with the 4 factions available in 2015.

nerf alliesI'm specifically talking about the Stuka DAK loiter and the US Airforce loiter. Just deleted a full hp Panther that reversed. This bs applies to both sides and it is cancer. I was cheated about a win by this.

UK Torpedo or Spitfire loiter I have used to also delete multiple tanks. All the AT loiters just wreck vehicles.

All the AT loiters are indeed insanely OP. Not an overstatement to call them army killers. I've won and lost matches on the basis of one AT loiter destroying the armour of a player despite them winning most of the match up to that point.
For Italy! We have outfoxed the enemy once more!

I dont think US has a loiter? Pretty sure all their air support is strafes/bombing runs. But their strafes are still good, which only goes to show that loiters arent necessary for the game
UK and DAK loiters are crazy busted tho

They are all equally cancerous, regardless of which faction they are from. No ability should be able to do so much damage without any immediate counter (and please spare me with AA, as long as AA is so unevenly distributed). It can deal lots of damage if you don't react, but give the player the ability to react...
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, totally shaken and lost, because in your dream you were hearing Katyushas firing?

On top of that, (atleast the UKF one) the airstrikes are dirt cheap. 120 munis is nothing in coh3.
Edit: These loiters are always worth it, even for single vehicles

Probably a slightly crazy take but I actually think the loiters can stay exactly as powerful & impactful as they are right now IF all factions get an AA unit that is exactly as effective vs loiters as the USF M16 Quad.
If the opponent has one M16, the axis loiters won't even make it until their first strafe. Feel free to test yourself in cheat mod
USF doesn't have any attack loiters, you mean the rocket loiter from British Air & Sea BG

I do agree with that, but I feel like 120 munis is too little for the impact it has/can have.
On one hand, many of the maps give you boatloads of munis and on the other hand some other abilities like the emplacement killers (e.g. USF bombardment, UK shipbarrage) cost more and tend to have varying impact (either it kills just the stationary units or the enemy sleeps and loses more than that).

Exactly, I use them to even kill medtrucks. The MP is really hurtful and robs them of a very important tool to stay at the front

i disagree
you shouldnt have a one click army deleter like the wehr luftwaffe loiter
you also shouldnt have a unit that immediately negates airplane abilities like the usf quad...you can basically park it in your base, leaving it almost invulnerable, all just for 30 fuel in t2
both loiters and aa units should be viable, even when both are on the field

You should be able to dodge heavy offmap damage. Keeping it just leads to everyone being forced to build AA. That's exactly the opposite of varied builds and gameplay.

If you are saying this in advance...
Planes shouldn't auto attack, period. Manual strafes for all air-based attacks imo. I would say the same for artillery off-maps, but swap the word strafes for barrages

When I have an idling Wirbelwind, and it gets shot down by planes.....that feels stupid.
I want my anti-air unit to kill the planes. Not the other way round. (in general)
I would like to see anti-air units fixed first, then let us see how much fixing the loiters need.
