I just played where my enemy used the strafe at the northern fuel on kholodny summer and it suppressed my retreated squads in my base! WTF is that for stuff?
why does that thing circle around for 50 seconds spotting and suppressing everything on the map. The plane goes to a much much larger area than shown when you deploy it.
What's wrong with coh1's strafe? that thing required prediction as well instead of this autoaim thing

Strafe from germans is ridiculous

Permanently BannedBase MGs could use a hardcoded AA function, but that would restrict Recon flights as well.

It's pretty silly, you're right, but it's also prohibitively expensive.

They actually "buffed" the strafing run, it "ONLY" pin down your entire army instead of doing considerable amount of damage as now 
First off all. Tripwire so gud, 10 ammo for a whole dead squad ? + sight.
Vehicle capture point can win games, blitzkrieg save a tank. Fair Deal i think

It sometimes kills already pinned units and AT guns, and the cost is a non-issue in 2v2 when both players can get Opel trucks. Also when there is two in the air the Quad AA can't properly decide which one to shoot at so they just go uncontested even with the hard counter to them on the field. Some pretty sub par players locking down the entire map (even after squandering 4-5 expensive tanks) because repeated double strafe prevents you from advancing anywhere:

It either needs a duration decrease, a substantial patrol area decrease, or it needs to be a guaranteed shoot down when it flies directly over an AA halftrack.

Its fine nubs stop crying. Shesh. I hope they buff it and it stays on the field for the entire rest of game giving us exact sov build orders, recon, pins units and then kills them, and lands and a special (Luftwaffe Special Air Corps Unit) is created that can snipe sov squads in 30 secs. It also has a new experimental model of the panzerfaust and it one hits those stupid KV-8s

The strafe shouldn't pin troops on retreat and kill like 2-3 guys. That's just stupid.

IMO the Strafing Run should just keep strafing the initial target area, making it function as a good localized area denial tool; not as a map-wide pinning tool

For 120 munitions you don't have to worry about infantry for 1 minute. It's not that expensive.

it only costs 120? mother of mercy, russians have useless spot air support for 200, these stukas strafe the whole map for 120? multiple times for 50 seconds?

Not to mention it is in the doctrine with the trucks making muni's a lot easier to get.
German strafe pins kills huge area 120 munis. soviet strafe does not pin, does more damage, less area cover and costs 200 munis
The worst is the insta Pinning even on retreat, if it was just supression maybe it would not be so bad(for a 120 muni).

I think the active time for the plane needs to be nerfed.

I think the plane should just stay inside the designated area that pops up when you deploy it. That way it turns it into a patrol unit to deny that area for infantry. Maybe raise it to 140

BTW, russian IL-2 will be shoot down by a turret mounted MG42(few burst)
while Stukas can only be shoot down by a quad (Soviet got turret mounted machine guns very very late)
By the way, the plane crashing is annoying, and it can actually do a lot of damage when crashing( Don;t know if it's intended)
