Insta-gibbing has always been the most satisfying aspect of CoH!
Goliaths
105 on map and off map
Airborne strafe
V1
PE booby traps
Teller mines
Pershing/Tiger
Stuka rockets
etc
If anything the Stuka strafe could do with a bit of a buff and I don't think anyone would argue against that
Goliaths:
You did need to micro it in order to kill with it.
V1, PE booby traps, Stuka rockets:
as soon as you hear the sound, move your units and you are fine, basically there was a counter for these abilities, meaning a way to avoid them.
No matter where you run, they IL-2 will find you that is the problem here.
