Nobody says it's weak.
But unless your enemy is sleeping is too easy to avoid.
Flares pinpoint the exact point where the bombing will strike and the plane takes too long to arrive.
Guard's button was one of the only things that made IL-2 Bombing Strike appealing, but since button nerf it's only an expensive arty call against emplacements.

With button nerfed, IL-2 has lost most of its usefulness.
Only OKW trucks or PaK 43 emplacements deserve that waste of ammo.
The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.

Railway artillery is supposed to be an area denial artillery.
IL-2 Bombing Strike is supposed to destroy a single target, which it can't do unless that target had not wheels.

and while button up is no longer the i win button it was its still useful to keep even the fastest units in place for a pummelling from either ATG's or il 2 bombings. you guys ae simply whining to much.

It has been like this always, why complain now?
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Oh I don't know, because the only ability in game that made it actually hit something was nerfed into oblivion, rendering bombing strike completely ineffective in return against anything but static arty and axis don't use that?

Kronosaur0s, is answer was legit, don't troll.
We are complaining because IL-2 Bomb strike was only useful against non-static emplacements thanks to Guard's button. Only stupidly slow things like an Elefant can still.
Take away button and the ability is just useful to destroy OKW trucks, which it isn't even needed due to the late stage of the game where you unlock it.
Nerfing button indirectly nerfed Bomb Strike a lot.

??? Stuka dive bomb has a incredible long and loud sound and in my opinion, its obvious where it is going to fall, lol.
Also, like IL2 strike, it cant be used on moving targets and also when you call it on top of enemy units, enemy units will shout *airplanes coming*!! or something like that.
Just move units a bit and voilá, munitions wasted, like IL2.
