Odd thing to be honest. I do not know how RELIC manage to over nerf it?

Are you really interested? Then go ask them, they only overnerf or overbuff in most of situations so it's not a surprise.

Sad thing is that this question of mine originated from the same match as the supressed PPSH conscripts. So neither does much to infantry. Tricked me good, trying to play an infantry tactics doc against infantry (three okw). "Of course" that doesn't work.

Needs to be buffed, or reduced in cost greatly. I actually think it needs a slight buff in damage (so it can kill models), the addition of pinning, and then leave the cost alone.

This:

FYI That videos from Sept 29 how many patches have we been in? I've used the 23mm IL-2 Strum loiter strafe lately in some 2v2s in attempt to offer Ost thier medicine with air-power, barely kills anything. Couldn't kill a Half-truck maybe kill a few models. IMO not worth the 180 cost.

Hi there

Why are there so many abilities in this game that are practicly useless? For example this strafe is pretty much useless, but it fires 20 mm rounds at enemies..

How come the developers have made so many weird choices?

I have the game for 3 weeks now, find more and more abilities that are not really good or do way to low damage roles.

Most of those things used to be crazy good at one point (for Ost and Sov) and relic nerfed them into the ground to compensate. Then everyone stopped complaining about them or using them and they were forgotten about to deal with more annoying things. The cycle continues.

Relic likes making useful stuff utterly useless.

Osttruppen are the only squad that have ever recovered from that.

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.

Good Stuff here

T-70 nerf also did not make it useless.

T70 with crush :3

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.

Huh, I was wondering about this. I took a long break from this game and got back into it recently. I love using Guards Rifle Combined Arms (Guards, HtD, PPsH, Howitzer and this Strafe). The strafe used to be really good, forcing retreats and damaging medium tanks, good for finishing them off in a pinch etc.

I tried it when I came back to the game and wondered why I got such lacklustre results each time, I though it might have been RNG, but seems like it's been nerfed into the ground.

Guess I'll spend that muni on PPsH, DP28 and mines instead.
