Artillery is supposed to kill weapons teams. The whole concept is destroying static positions. I can't believe someone actually complained about the stuka destorying support weapons. Come on...
yo fool, its destroying weapon teams in a barrage that is the problem, it happens. fuck decrews, that is fine. i lost a 320mp unit without a chance of salvaging it by someone who has to point and click into the fog of war?
mini scatter + 6 rockets and people are saying its okay? fuck that.
arty punishing blobs is fine, wiping a squad on demand is not and in stuka's case, it happens quite consistently. katyusha and pzwerfer destroys blobs without wiping them outright because they have to deal with scatter and in katyusha's case, pauses between shots. its bad luck if u get a squad wipe but the usual is 1-3 models lost per squad. that is fine, its punishing enough, bleeds menpower hard, but not usually an insta wipe.
as for priest, shots between pauses, thats more than enough reaction time to gtfo from the arty zone.
yet the stuka gives barely any reaction time and dont tell me there's the fucking sound, the shells land fast. and once the 1st shell hits, the area is so saturated with explosions it is either insta mass infantry retreat and dead support teams or insta squad wipe. unless you pray to the rng god and leave 1 man running away.
dont believe me? take a pak40 and zis. have the pak40 try to escape priest artillery zone then have the zis try to run from stuka artillery. chances are the pak40 will have a much better chance of survival and get probably drag its ass out of the arty zone and the priest is as harmless as 4th of july fireworks. now take that into stressful game conditions and tell me how the fuck is this okay?
so every minute, defensive lines will crumble or a mass rout will occur, if OKW player follows up with an assault.
i'd like to see the amount of crying when allied players get something like that. oh wait, there is. the isu152 and look at the tears, you can form a fucking ocean with them. except now stuka can come 10mins into the game.
