B-4

No more adding suppression to indirect fire please. I'd say a decrease in manpower cost would be the best, same for all howitzers as they are all trash at the moment. That way it isn't as devastating when they get destroyed.

i had this idea about the B-4.

infanry sqauds once the B-4 is build can drop a flare(like UKF sections)

these flares will not callin a B-4 barrage BUT make the B-4 fire accurately where you drop the flare(to hammer specific targets to do a counter attack)

these way we give it the accuracy it needs BUT with counterplay.

that's actually a good idea. the problem with the brit base artillery is that it's hard to get into range against things it's actually usable against. the b4 also has HUGE scatter on the standard shot (about a screen if you're aiming at the center) but it was way to strong with precision shot for obvious reasons.

Sometimes, when people complain over things like these, I imagine spoiled brats requiring immediate gratification. You won't hit with every shot, and you really don't get to hit with every shot. Is there some kind of privilege I am not aware of?

Use it with forward spotters or the recon overflight to increase it's accuracy and keep firing. It has a very very low cooldown, especially on vet 2, and it kills whatever it touches. You will see the results eventually. If you need results faster then you picked the wrong commander.

So please, enough with this.


PS: The KV-1 is also fine.

So I put 1 volks squad and used B-5 against them into fog of war.

Results: I was amaing at the green cross. Red crosses are places where shell hit. Finy fact is, if I put them behind cover, the last (6th) shell wouldnt do anything, I mean, it killed 3 models becase they were spread out. If I put them behind cover and aim at them with the center of the scatter, they would be fine for the 6 shots

There are a few things in coh2 that are broken: instant wiping machines (AVRE, Sturmtiger, B4) and things that are instant click-wipes (divebomb). Divebomb is stupid because it counters field artillery. Does it still have the insanely huge AoE against infantry?
Anyway, B4 acting like a traditional artillery to some degree is a good idea. a 3 round barrage with long reload would be a good idea to make it balanced. Doing something with Stuka divebomb would be great, i.e removing it completely.

Is there any axis unit or ability that does not need nerf?
