Walking Stuka damage is not always as effective as you might expect. About half of all barrages do just 50-80 dmg against the emplacements despite a direct hit:
(Long numbers are the damage done by the mortar to my stuka, so just ignore it)

Direct hit:

Aftermath (mind the -75):

Walking Stuka is like, the worst unit for fighting emplacements, incidentally.

Heavy artillery is terrible against emplacements. You need the light artillery barrages from the LeiG and only the LeiG.

Walking stuka is not supposed to be a counter to emplacements. So it's surprising that it sucks againts emplacements.

Actually, it is supposed to be a counter. They gave the stuka 50% bonus damage against emplacements. That means 300 dmg with a direct hit.

No. It's supposed to be a soft counter/not a counter at all. This was the design of emplacements and continues to be so to do this day. It has been confirmed by relic quite a few times now.

The walking stuka can only damage the 17 pounder (take half of its health) seems the rockets unless all of them hit one emplacement won't do much damage

Explain why they added bonus damage for the stuka.

because without the added bonus damage it did almost nothing to them. the walking stuka does poorly against the mortar pit because most of the time the rockets dont get a direct hit on the emplacement. if you fire against the bofors or 17pdr which have bigger hitboxes youll notice it does a lot better.
