Lack of arty options for OKW

Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2014, 11:13 AMEbonDust

I would like to have a normal arty as okw. Stuka is extremly unreliable it is almost imposible to hit anything moving and wasting 100 s cooldown for one mg is not the best thing to do. I stoped using inf gun after one game where me and my ally put inf gun and mortar near each other constantly shooting at enemy big infantry blobs, after the game i checked the stats of both units and my inf support gun scored whoping 20 kills, my friends mortar scored 21. Im not going to waste 415 mp to have a gun with similar performance of 240 mp mortar.

Stuka, most accurate arty piece in game, extremely unreliable?

And impossible to hit moving targets?

You realize that arty exist to dispose of campy opponents and static targets?

Learn2play and use the LSG + Stuka. Play intelligently you fucking NOB.(Yes, Nob.) It's not fucking hard to use the options you're given. This game doesn't need another German faction that has afk mortar options in T0 to spam when they should have fucking front line troops on the field.

The LSG is even more effective used in tandem with the Sturm Officer option in Breakthrough doctrine.

God I fucking hate those guys in 2v2's and above who just spam mortars.

There needs to be a support arty weapon like the SU-76. OKW is severly punished by US OP rifelman blobs.

Not my experience bro, in 2v2 I usually meet 2 fat OKW infantry blobs with bazookas and Sturmpioneers. They eat ally infantry alive and you have a really hard time to stop it. And no, MG doesn't work if they are half decent opponents.

I refer you to your own words in this very same thread




By the way, OKW doesn't get bazookas, they get shreks, bro

Hmm it seems you don't have enough experience to comment on this... You should play some Team games, there you feel the current imbalance of the game so hard.

The game is not meant to be balanced for team games.

SturmTiger is not Artillery... it is a direct fire weapon.

People are claiming the ISG to be some god gun, it is not. It is very RNG dependent, I've tried 2 before and they were set up forward enough to cover past the "front line" by the end I think one had about 18 kills and the other around 8. Like all Indirect fire weapons such as mortars they are RNG heavy, altho I feel mortars still perform better as you can get them closer at very little risk for a much higher reward.

ISG's pretty much have to hit dead on to deal damage, they (Feel at least) to have a lot less splash than mortars.

ISG's will usually get 1 model if it hits, very rarely does it get 2 or higher. I see mortars regularly either take 2-3 models or spread out a fair amount of damage among a squad from splash.

Please try using things for more than 1 game where they get good RNG. Try them for at least 20-30 games and look at the average performance.

They also got their arcing and UnitAI Messed with since the Alpha, it feels as if they scatter a lot more now too. The Arcing seems to of been fixed as of the most recent patch but other than that.

Also don't get me wrong, I am not saying it is bad, I'm just saying it's unreliable, especially with the lack of Suppression Okw have.
