P47 ignoring area
Posts: 168
Is anyone else seeing this happen too? Or am I just going mad…?

I can accept it attacking me out of the area by a margin, or even if I exit the area after it starts shooting/has spotted me. But on the 2nd and 3rd pass, when I have left the area and am a considerable distance from it, it really shouldn't be targeting me, its completely OP when it behaves this way.

The rockets should never fire at anything outside the circle. It's stupid.
Every single loitering plane ability works exactly like the P47s.
Of course you can still think this is stupid, but let's say things the way they are. It's how all plane abilities are designed, not "just" the P47.

I regularly use the Stuka Anti Tank strafe, which similarly to the P47, does 3 passes. However I have yet to witness it target something well outside the targeting area. I use it most team games, and it always stays within the area, or at least within a few meters of it. The P47 regularly goes whole sectors over its boundaries.

unless of course, you've looked into the game files and compared the different globals..?

But I have watched the results of both abilities in the game at least a dozen times each. P47 performs differently to the German equivalent.

Erm…. sorry Cruzz, but they don't all work like the P47.

They do. I've had JU-87s follow me too and kill my jacksons. It sucks but it's not unique to the p-47. You mostly only notice it when it happens to you.

I see that P47 strike is also ignoring Infantry and attacks only Vehicles. Is this intended? If it is its just stupid, it should also attack Infantry.
Intended, far too strong vs infantry, 1 rocket alone can wipe a squad, but a full strafe from 2 planes? It could effectively wipe someones entire Army, Infantry and Tanks.

Because its AT only strafe.
If you want to obliterate everything in range with air strike, try wehr stuka close air support.

Thank you Romeo.

No, looks like nobody actually explained how it works :/
P47 has three strafes, and each strafe has a recon and a shooting phase; in each shooting phase only the tanks that were in the cirlce during the previous recon phase will be targetable.
so if you leave the circle during the first recon phase you will be shot on the first pass, but not on the 2nd and 3rd

If they don't change the way the ability works, maybe they could add a floating icon over tanks that have been targeted by a plane to indicate to the player that it will get shot at even if it leaves the circle.
That is a good idea. Like Mark Vehicle. Not that it would prevent the P47 from destroying the tank anyway.
I am in agreement that the P47 is just plain dumb. There is no counter play once its locked onto you. Its just good bye damaged armor. I would like to see a cost reduction and a damage reduction for it. It should only be able to kill armor if they are dumb enough to stay the full duration. It should help alot but not just erase armor as it can do.
Sure OKW can deal with it but Ost cannot as the Ostwind is garbage at AA.
