The way the plane enters the battlefield is a little unfair in some situations right now. I don't seem to notice this much with any other plane based ability. The plane seems to spawn from the closest edge of the map to the target. If you are fighting on a map towards the edge, the plane will drop the bombs before the flairs even show. That speed makes it completely impossible to react.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

the soviet pregnancy-tab works similarly. lost two snipers and a pak today because there was less than 5 seconds of time between the flares and the clusters hitting. admittedly i'm not entirely sure when i saw it, the flares don't show up well in clusters of units on snow maps.

I'm talking times faster than that. Like a second or less. The plane drops the bombs then the flairs come down. You'll hear your infantry scream about the plane still, but you have 1 second or less to watch them die, since they won't even begin moving if you hit retreat. It's very cheap, much like 1 second arty in CoH1.

Plane comes, mostly, from the direction of your base. Yep, its either too fast or too slow.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.
