OKW Flak emplacements

Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2016, 15:41 PMBlickWinkel

It's been almost 2 years since WFA came out, isn't it about time to fix these?
In my opinion they are the most pitiful unit in the game, I can't think of anything else that works so blatantly against your own interests. It could pretty much be replaced by a "Remove 250mp and 10 fuel" button.

I remebered them existing today and tried to use them in a few games, each time it was a disaster. Then I proceed to do some testing, to see how exactly they perform. See for yourself.

Nothing's a bigger waste than OKW FlaK emplacments. Even Sextons can actually deal some damage and be at least "meh" under the right conditions.

Make FlaKs undecrewable and the remove fuel cost or

make them undecrewable, buff them and adjust their price.

M-42.

At least that doesn't cost fuel

Sturmtiger, M20, Scout car, Partisans, They all should be fixed or deleted from game and changed to something better.

ScoutCar with FlamerEng/Penals, Partisans, USF rushing for quick M20s, Sturmtiger hitting the field at contested choke points are still rather persistent within the game, and even seen regularly within high end game-play tournaments.

Actually, Penals/ClownCars may even get a revival with their vet3 60% accuracy bonus.

There are a lot of units, which existing is veeeery questionable. And something should be done about them all. M-42, 2cm Flak 38, AssGrens, StuG E, Sturmtiger, M20 scout car, Partisans... They all should be fixed or deleted from game and changed to something better. There are a lot of options... but thats for another topic, I think.

I feel the same way about the USF fighting position. Another USF unit made of paper. Now it is only 125MP, but then you need 60 muni just to make it do anything. You can then put a 200MP RE in there for some anti vehicle grenades, which is nice. So you're looking at 325MP, and 60 muni, for some suppression, and a light vehicle counter. Most cases I find it pretty useless compared to where else I can spend those resources. But if the conditions are right, and you place it in a really good spot and at the right time, it can help big time. Very rare do I see an advantageous opportunity to use it, but it's there for when you need it. I personally don't know the finer details of the flak emplacement, but to me it sounds like of similar usefulness. Besides, it's also AA if that means anything. If somebody wants to enlighten me, I'd be happy to hear it.
