Bofors needs a nerf against infantry

Didn't know Brit didn't have any armored dealing AT damage. Too bad you have to chose Hammer to get it. Anvil leaves you with PIATs + ATgun which is sufficient to deal with a 2shotsdead half-track.

I'm more than an Allied player but honestly Bofor is dumb, as the Panzer HQ is, but at a highest level. And Who say L2P vs Bofor deserves a L2P vs MHT.

I have nothing against Bofor function, but losing an entire squad in a matter of second just because you entered in his area of fire is dumb.
What you expose to counter Bofor is, today, really risky, if you are catch by the Bofor active, you lost all your infantry in 3 sec. I'm not against having the Bofor punishing infantry, but leave them a chance to retreat.

New balance preview update. They just cut the mid and far accuracy in half, increased the scatter and did a bunch of changes to the damage it'll take and brace.

Puma is an armored CAR.

Bofors is a 40mm AA gun.

If axis 40mm AA flak penetrates TANKs, what makes you believe allied 40mm flak shouldn't penetrate CAR?
anything lighter then ostwind is and should be ripped apart by it when it comes to armor.

Flak truck is problematic, that's right. It even frontally penetrates Shermans. But I have a problem with Bofors melting Pumas like crazy. I wish I had the replay (It's easy to test it though). I swarmed Bofors with 3 Pumas, I wasn't aware of its stats. I lost one and had to fall back to save the other 2 with low HP. Shit was crazy fast.

What makes you believe that crew covering their head with their hands (that what braces do) can protect them from stuka strike or sturmtiger shot ?

Gameplay > Realism

Its AI is getting justifiably nerfed, its AT is fine, it won't be killing any medium armor, unless you drive up to it with low hp and exposed rear. Light armor melts to 40mm AA guns of both axis and allies.

I don't get 90 percent of the comments here.

We know how to counter the dam thing, the point is it has stupid max range accuracy that wipes squads in the radius that are there for more than a second.

Stop with the fanboy bullshit and acknowledge that there actually is a problem, and that fixing it won't make the bofors bad, it will make it less retarded.


Jesus, the usual shit posters like Katitof with their circular arguments just piss me off so much. Yall shouldn't even be on the balance forums.

if the BOFORS is op against infantry then you should play USF and see how stupid the Flak HQ is against allies

(but it wipes my squad/squads so fast i cant react)k then nerf it to give you time to retreat

then the Flak HQ should also get nerfed?? it wipes infantry AND can damage tanks

isnt that OP?

why is the Bofors OP?

maybe he should refresh his memory and tell as why the Flank HQ is balanced and the BOFORS is not

Cause Bofors is way more lethal ? and have a defensive ability that makes me almost invulnerable ?

Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2015, 15:34 PMNabarxos

brace disables it so you can attack,also i can agree on giving more time to reast but dont nerf it too much
