Now, I expected that it probably wouldn't kill it. But NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER from a direct bomb strike?

Ok, I get the idea behind brace and endorse it. But today, I found that when a Bofors is in "Brace mode" a direct hit from a Stuka bomb did nothing...no damage whatsoever.

in my opinion having brace where it is now is a good thing considering that axis before the brits released had all of the good stuff to themselves. i say they cant have it all its time the allies have something to level the playing field

Brace is a double edged swo... shield? Buildings that brace don't shoot.
Fire off a stuka om the huge at gun, see it being braced? Go in with your tanks.
I mean it's so trollable.

Brace forces a huge investment for the Axis player into artillery, which then does´t even work. The British player is rewarded for sitting around on one place.
One would think Lelic had learned their lesson from Coh1. But alas Cancer-Brits are back.
Edit: I wonder whether that shit can survive a railway artillery strike.

Most people also forget to activate it or activate it late.

I think im actually ok with Brace, but Pak43 & OKW flack emplacements should get it too
Then they should cost fuel right?

Needs a CD so that a completely unsupported enplacement will die, otherwise it's fine.
Er not 100% sure what it is now, but there should at least be 30 seconds of window between brace for potential counterplay for both parties.
Any more would be way too ineffective for the emplacements. A braced emplacement can be skipped and the rest of the army can be destroyed.

Brace is over the top and blatantly overpowered. You assemble the supposed "hardcounters" such as artillery as Axis player. And all the opponent has to do is press one button and is almost immune. This is bad gameplay and horrible design.

Its only OP if you don't know what the counter is. Artillery isn't a counter to Brace since Brace is the counter to artillery ...
What counter Brace is a permanent source of damage like mortars. You always attack it with your mortar, the Brit will have 2 options:
1- Using brace and he can't fire back. What does it means? you can attack freely with your stuff since Brace disable the emplacement.
2- not using brace and repairing the emplacement. Vs a mortar it is really costly, he can always have an engineer squad wiped during the process (remember that they receive extra damage while repairing) and at the end you'll finish destroying the emplacement.

No they don't if you have a 251 next to them. You don't build 251? you'll lose anyway vs Brit and their command post.

They do if Brits repair the mortar pit, and you will loose manpower, brits will not

Dont make shit up pls
If your mortar squad(s) lose to a fixed emplacement? You are doing something wrong. Plus its 400mp
They do if Brits repair the mortar pit, and you will loose manpower, brits will not
This is a joke also.
This means brits will have a squad that isnt active in combat when you can just fight around the emplacement(s) or re-position to another portion of the map while the emplacements take up HUGE POP (12)
Again, dont make shit up.
