CAS Axis cmrd is by far the best cmdr for team games (3vs3+)

I agree that it should be passive, but think it should work like the OKW fuel/muni exchange (1 lost fp gets 2 muni's at most, maybe less). If it was just a percentage of the total, some of us would build nothing but ammo caches and get a big increase in ammo for only a small decrease in fuel and it would probably still be OP.

The stuka dive bomb needs to not work on on-map arty. Even just removing the recon would just mean that another player would have to have recon.

CAS is one of the most meta doctrines known to man atm. Do I think it's balanced? Mmmmm........it would be if AA halftracks were effective at shooting planes down before they got away with what they do.

Johhny B even argues with the almighty Cruzz. What a fool. CAS is BS.

For the record, since Cruzz is not God allmighty himself

How feasible engine wise is to make planes move faster and have to loiter around in order to them been able to unload it's payload?
The intention is to be able to take down the plane without affecting so much the time it takes to drops its payload.

Another option.
How about making the ability to instantly call a plane to loiter around the map and after 5-10s you have a 30s window to set a strafe line ?

Wrong.

AA in CoH2 is essentially "if a plane is in the air it is dead" (which is why super high damage plane crashes suck so much) now with the M5 buff and the USF AA HT was already god like. CAS strafes should be thought of as off maps instead of traditional plane abilities and balanced as such.

Do not argue with cruzz

For the record, since Cruzz is not God allmighty himself, I think I can say what I believe and not blindly follow his opinions.

Actual dowside of CAS that can be implemented.

1- Fuel conversion same as lend lease, a plane that can be shotdown. Or like Sov industry.

2- When an airplane is shotdown, add a new CD to the ability, like 3-4 minutes cooldown.

As CAS You will have all the munition you want, you can mine, build bunkers, build alot of infantry and equip them properly, air off-maps, all the tanks you want... oh wait.

On a more serious note. Counters:

1. build tanks;
2. build 120s /artilery / katiushas, whatever ballistic weapon you want;
3. plant mines and/or demo charges;
4. build AA;
5. any 2 points from above used together.

As long as allied have their cheesee strategies, CAS should exist too. Now you can / thread

P.S. I am just curious, did you ever use CAS? Like, even once?

Edit: I can bet all my money that after CAS will be nerfed - and it will - the next targeted ostheer commander will be assault support. That strafing run has staying power it does not take 2 seconds like in CAS case and the allied blobbers will be so unhappy.
