Why is Air Superiority "OP" ?

One shotting OKW trucks with no chance of counter play is simply against core game mechanics since the game resolves around counter play.

Stuka bomber? Wipes units with no counter play.

They are nerfing AS when that Concentrated Barrage isn't being touched. A truck can technically survive AS, but Concentrated Barrage is a 100% kill chance, and comes with a crocodile, and is 75 munitions cheaper.

You can't call it in upon the base, but you can certainly let 80% of the bombs hit the base, which will annihilate any OKW truck.

Air superiority OBVIOUSLY shouldn't wipe full hp okw trucks, that's just bad for design, BUT it should actually wipe medium tanks, troops and static defenses, unlike the preview version, which has a chance to wipe tanks and infantry. It's a big chance, but it still isn't certain. I think everybody had this game on Crossing (well, pretty much every game on Crossing) where double OKW just turtle 2 VPs behind 2 flaktrucks protected by a shitton of ISGs, puppchens and panthers, killing all attempts at breakthroughs, indirect fire or combined arms. Air Superiority is the British way of breaking that stalemate, and the schwerers will most likely be destroyed in the following assault. There's the subtle difference between simply wiping full hp trucks or scaring off/killing their defences to assault them with troops, and right now, Air Superiority does neither.

It takes 600+ munitions for every other faction accomplish what Air Superiority does. The Brits shouldn't be some magical exception were they get the best of everything for twice as cheap. Also nice troll thread OP.

Let's not forget that brits have weaker and less artillery options than USF. So, what does accomplish Air Superiority? Apart from a massive retreat and possibly a lost HQ. Btw, nice troll post.

It is not broken, and it is not OP. You just want to camp all day, erry day, with your Flak and Med HQ protecting your OP le.IG's.

Stop doing this BS, then the Brit player will find other uses for his 325 muni's.

i used it about half a dozen times in close vicinity of ful health okw bases and i never wiped the bases.

does things change if i click right on the okw base?

If you build a mortor or an howi your enemy has the chance to counter it before his buildings are getting destroyed... you simply cant counter the Air Superiority ability. Would it be just one plane which is really fragile to AA or if there would be some kind of counter ability it would be fine.
But for now it is a "click to win" button.
That goes without saying the ability is very expensive but there shouldnt be so expensive OP abilities ingame. 1000ammo for a "win the game nuke"

We can make the same argument where all skill plane bombers can wipe out multiple squads and tanks. Also, make the same argument about two big rings in the MAP, bright flares and 10 planes coming from the edge of the map can be dodged just like the skill plane bombers.

If everyone were to test all abilities this way the game would be at such a better place , that's a great attitude XD.
But then again no ability should be able to wipe OKW trucks so easily and i think the reason ppl complain about it is the "skill" part, it requires basically no skill to execute while ur opponent has to move his entire defensive line within seconds
