Doctrinal 155mm barrage working as intended?
Posts: 503
this is a rage thread yes, but i think rage is due
this ability kills okw trucks in 1 go. that is ONE fucking go. my opponents told me to keep them in the base... which wouldnt have helped cause theres a recon flight or you could just drive into the base with some crap light armor and destroy any OKW building in one go. please tell me this is not intentional!
i was playing 2v2 on a 5 streak when this team of scrubs just killed 1 truck after the other. they basically lost before that. but once our tech was gone we had 0 , i repeat ZERO chance of coming back
btw. its an ability of that jeep commander...
i might upload a vid of those truck kills once i manage to stop the steam shooting out of my ears

The ability should get some scatter or a shorter period barrage.
Sadly I did not keep a replay, but I'll do next time.

It's the only ability that can knock out a full health sturmtiger with one blow. not only that, but it stuns vehicles so they can't move out of the barrage radius.
It costs 180, and is much better than other 180 strikes.

The US 155mm barrage of the 'Mechanized' is the best munitions strike in the whole game. The scavenger strike is also really good.

Only sturmtigers? This thing can wipe vanilla Tigers, and nigh on wipe King Tigers. I've yet to have one at full health to try, but it can wipe a ~80% Jagdtiger.

A bit of apples and oranges, but I think sector arty is also very powerful. I have yet to see the 155 in action...now I'm curious.

155mm is the same to a very specific area of the map.
Some examples of it in use:

Hmmm interesting. I want to see comparison stats with, for example, Stuka or Railway Artillery.

Stuka and railway are much weaker compared to 155mm. The effect of the 155mm is a bit like the Walking stuka. Imagine two or three walking stuka barrages in roughly the same area but the shells completely penetrate all armor.
I haven't seen sector artillery yet. The Scavenger 105mm artillery is also crazy good.

I'm pretty sure scavenger artillery is bugged. I've noticed it lands 3 times over the course of several minutes. I've seen it once in Stephenn's stream, and twice in the Propagandacast.
I have a friend who uses it every game and it looks fine to me. Its practically railway artillery.
About the 155mm barrage, i havent seen it used because of its rarity. However, it better get fixed once they fix the drop system. I actually want to use the commander, but i cant because playing hours on end, winning, getting the most points on your team means NOTHING to your ability to get anything. You get rewarded for letting your computer on and having bots fight for a few hours.

I was talking about the one that comes with Jaeger Light Infantry.

1. Dodge truck/Halftrack fast recon or use Recon overflight
2. then drop 155mm on bunched up units. If light vehicles are no longer needed, return for 75% refund.
Oh, yeah, and the halftrack @ 3 cp (?) can reinforce and comes with a flamer that can fire on the go. 550 MP, 35 fuel.

Even if it didn't destroy trucks in one go, which is ridiculous, it is still incredibly potent against vehicles as people have already pointed out. If the vehicle doesn't escape the first shot (which comes down fast by the way), it's guaranteed death. I'd guess that Katitof's Puma was stunned while moving, so it came to a halt outside the strike zone- else I don't see how it was possible that it survived.

Also scavenge docterine arty is either strange in design or bugged, yes. I call it down once in one spot and it just keeps coming down over and over and costing me nothing.
Lucky me, I get the two drop commanders with the most broken artillery in the game.

Meanwhile the M5 Assault group is 5 CP and the Mechanized Assault Groups from OH can´t reinforce
