Just gauging interest does anyone find this ability spammed in theam games and is an utter game changer especially against okw because i take out a truck in one wave... i no it cost alot but this thing rips and sort of defense apart with ease.

i been complain about from day 1, it change a little but still OP for 325mu, my OKW 300mu zeroingin art don't have great damage only in mid of the strike area, this air raid have entire area covered. but since relic don't seems changing it anytime soon, I joined those who spamming it. (detoryed 2 and half OKW HQ in 1 run today in a 4v4 game.)

Honestly, a 325 muni ability should take out a 40/80 fuel truck.

It's getting nerfed in the next patch I thought.

it is not 40/80 fuel really, it is 60/121 fuel. if you think of fuel income reduction. that is no little fuel for a fuel starving faction.

what i don't like is it kills everything in the radius, while other 300mu abilily like OKW zeroing art only kills everything in the mid of radius outer ring only got few random inaccurate shots. not mention it have smaller radius than air raid, i don't think 25 more mu should be that much more powerful than the 300mu ability.

It's getting nerfed in the next patch I thought.


only the explosive radius for each shell not damage, it is already applied to preview mod. as I said even after nerf I destoryed 2 and half (3rd one is on the eage still only have 1/3 hp left) HT HQ

Only too good in team games really. For taking out entrenched positions it's one of the only particularly good options the UKF gets. Arty is hopeless from brits.

i totally agree UKF indirect fire is junk, motar pit and suxton either dies very fast or sux at damage anything, suxton should be similar to priest, and base howitzer can't hit anything for 45mu each time it fires.

But fanboys said it's fine to wipe out trucks and do so much dmg.lol...This ability is just one of the OP units and abilities of the new faction.

I have tested the upcoming patch on the mod,the bombs still wipe out full health OKW trucks...

I was wondering what if they made it cheaper, swapped it out for a Spitfire that fly around to shoot down call-in planes from the Germans. Would fit the name of the ability. If need be change the name to Air superiority. I feel like it would fit the WW2 Royal Commandos stealthy work.

OKW starts with 40 fuel so the first building is free man.

Meanwhile, fanboys from opposing camp are zealously convinced that only thing that should be taking the trucks down is the self destruct button, but its fine and 100% balanced for MHT to pay 45 muni and eradicate every single brit structure placed outside of base sector <444>_<444>

It's OK for OKW 1-shoot-lose-base because Ostheer Mortar Halftruck :snfPeter:

And to be clear ... I'm not OK with British bombing run destroying OKW trucks as much as MHT killing emplacements...

The idea of bombing run is just plain wonky, because asides from truck bombing it is worse than Strafe Support in every way.

Let's talk about doctrinal flak emplacement that cost fuel and dies by only looking at it IF it makes you feel better :sibPheasant:

that doesn't mean those buildings are cheap, i am saying they are expansive that means it won't be easy for OKW to replace them.

I was never against buffing it, because you know, I'm a fan of ALL units being viable. :romeoPro:

Again this thread. Yes, we know, everybody knows it - except Katitof, but he's living in another world, so it's not really his fault - the ability is super-OP especially against OKW. Next thread.
