Soviets can do the Samething with the bombing run.... not as cheap but it's do-able especially in 2v2
Except it has red smoke and not as much devastating. Way to different. But imo all call arties out of base since ml20/lefh are out too.

Infantry should not be immune to abilities just because they in base sector, it bad design which limits strategic possibilities.

Its problem with ability, not design.

However, some abilities are too cheap for how efficient they are and on top of that too easy to use, V-1 coh1 rocket disguised as stuka dive bomb with recent AoE buff is bright example of such ability.
Easiest solution? Shared cd for recon plane/stuka dive bomb and recon plane/il2 bomb drop will prevent 2-click mass retreat wipes.

Thats not a bad idea in some ways. Being able to only have one plane up in the air could be a novel solution (in 1v1 at least) but as everyone else mentioned no off map should be used in the base sector.
That someone used it in the ESL tournament is pretty unsporting but I guess thats what being 'pro' is all about.

This has been a problem for a long time and I've seen countless people use this strategy to wipe out all units in your base while you aren't paying attention. Not only does it make for bad gameplay it is also nearly uncounterable (and don't say get AA to shoot down the plane because all you need is sight for a second to click the dive bomb). The dive bomb in base sector even happend in the recent ESL tournament to Jesulin and caused him to surrender since it wiped out his entire army. Hopefully this happening in the ESL tournament will finally grab Relics attention and they can adjust the ability.
A bit offtopic: The stuka dive bomb costs 160 muni and is probably the strongest artillery strike in the game while also being one of the cheapest (Soviet one is 200 for example). This ability seriusly needs to be reworked.
