10% accuracy per crate, it stacks to a maximum of 3. Each buff has its own timer, so you can't take them periodically to restore the timer.

The healing does not stack. Helpful enough?

Healing stack because three of them healing much faster.

Not in my experience.

I was told by a friend and some other people that it doesn't stack, so it was not firsthand info. If they stack, I didn't notice it. It's best to just take them all anyway.

Remember when these were unkillable? Or else blew up and destroyed everything around them? (or was that ammo...)

aka they suck now and no reason to run luft supply other than the fuel cheese.
Once that gets nerfed this doct will be the worthless brother of CAS.
They were fine before WFA came out then they got bugged out.
Needed some tuning yes but they got hit too hard.

How in gods name do they suck now?

Before they let you heal in combat, run grens through PPSH fire and laugh at the gods themselves. They were broken as fuck, and they only cost 30muni.

Now they act as a good soft retreat buffer, impromptu healing and a very useful combat bonus. They're still good.

But they're not batshit broken. Which I suspect is what you liked about them.

Well, stop whining. In my experience they work just fine. 3 LMG42 Grenadier squads, with an optional HMG42 behind them, and with this buff, they cut down any kind of Allied infantry. Throw in halftrack for reinforce and flavor.

Your right, They are so good that i will continue to use CAS every time over it.

Or i could just use a CAS AI strafe and auto win that infantry fight. Box's will most likely not make the difference. If you were going to win/lose anyways box's combat difference is minimal.
The strafe will win the engagement every time.

And since i am not wasting muni on boxes i can have more mines down in addition to the lmg's on all my grens or use more riflenades which do win trades.

CAS is such a broken commander, no skill plane can kill multiple Jacksons in one strafe.

If you loose more than 1 Jackson in 1 strafe you need to spread them out more.

Unless he uses a ally to flare for his CAS AT strafe you will see it in more than enough
time to move your tanks because he has to recon it first.

If you get it by it in combat, P-47 IL-2 bomb strike (IL-2 strafe needs to be looked at it sucks atm)
PTAB strike can all hit under the same circumstances.

Difference is he will most likely be using fuel to do it.

Not neccesarily, since it can target you from outside the map if casted near the border.

IL-2 Strafe can along with the JU-85 AI strafe. This side effect is not unique to the JU-85 AT strafe.

But both have a lesser impact, one supresses and the other is more anti infantry/light vehicle.

Not saying how they should work but i think the strafes should be consistent in how they deploy.
They AI strafe can have as big of a impact as the AT strafe.
The IL-2 strafe just sucks and needs a buff.

Original IL-2 strafe shot only to the targeted area and it sucked, then relic decided to make it search for targets, and it started wiping squads, then relic dropped its damage from 20 to 8 and increased the aggressivity of the aircraft and reduced to price to 180 from 240munitions
