Walking Stuka

Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 14:18 PMKhan

Everyone bitching about Stuka 'wiping everything' along its path, please post a replay to prove your claim. I've literally seen maxims not suffer a single casualty even while being in the firing line. The only time I've seen the thing rack up more than 10 kills in a barrage is when my opponent is blobbing 3+ squads. I reiterate; most of the people whining on this thread are complaining because the Stuka instawipes their blobs, which is a fair punishment for blobbing in the first place.

For reference, check out the replay I've posted in this thread of a 2v2 against the OP.

That would be any random game by Cataclaw when he decides to go for stucka for example.

Cataclaw has also won games using only Engineers and M3's, or Conscripts and T-34/85's, but you're not so quick to call OP on those.

So Don't blob!

It's an anti-blob weapon which is the heart of CoH.

If you wan to blob without being punished - go to Starcraft. If you want to play a game without mindless blobbing, play this one. If you don't blob, the Stuka won't hurt so much.

Actually, its most durable mobile arty piece in game considering its mobility.

Its a tank compared to pwerfer and katiusha.

Its still fine thou.

watch the bloody replays, then form an opinion.

• Avoiding it with basic infantry is hit and miss (guessing where your opponent will move when the woosh starts isn't hard).
  
• Aiming it at linear retreat paths is a cake walk because never-missing super shells (looking at you, Trois point).
  
• Shell impact time is not enough for an AT gun to avoid it- aim it along the path of a barrel. Unpacking you can do, forwards or back you can do. Pivoting and then moving sideways you cannot.
  
  
  All it needs is for basic fire to be an AoE scattering of a few shells and it's fixed. The firepower is not the problem. The massive length of never missing line you can draw is the problem.

We don't need al alternative. All we need if for it not to be lazer accurate super walking barrage with every shot.

Trying to fight a tank? Nope, stuka is on your AT gun before it can do anything.

Just that, for someone who went Stuka, he won't really have fuel for a tank. The only real "tank" that the OKW has is the Panther. Take into account the fuel needed for this; 40 Fuel for T2, 100 fuel for Stuka, 80 fuel for T3 and finally 175 fuel for Panther: 395 fuel. With OKW's 2/3 income, this is only possible by the 40th + minute mark, and by then if you're relying on a SINGLE AT Gun as your sole AT, then you should probably learn 2 play better.
