39min to bring down one bofors..

(I don't think the Bofors or brace is as big an issue as people make it out to be)

If the Bofors emplacement couldn't auto-attack, required player targeting and that "ability" locked it to a target, had cooldown etc, and we removed brace and gave it a larger health pool instead, would that be a better unit design conceptually?



or something like this instead of a single targeted ability.

First the guy lost the game and had pretty poor map control. Sure he dragged the game out what did it achieve? Nothing.

Second, if Jove had built a Stuka instead of the KT, emplacements would have been gone long before hand. The key to the emplacement commander is killing the FHQ, since it removes the free repairs. He also could have force braced all emplacements with his off map, then just yolo run in 3 volks and flame nade just before brace runs out. Not much you can do about that, especially with the P4 / at guns assisting.

Third, you say its too strong for the costs. Are you talking about the base cost of the emplacement, or including tech costs, FHQ costs & munition costs for the upgrade?

Forth, since apparently John Smith is a low level player, care to post your own player card or replays of your high level games?


Edit: Also lol at Dane saying the JT needs buffing. Yeh lets buff it for 1v1 and make it batshit OP for 2v2 +

Oh and OP: the reason why the Bofors died after 40 minutes was because it was well supported, any enemy will have a hard time defeating a well supported position.

Remember that op is extremely axis biased. You should look at his post history. It'll give a good laugh.

maybe you want to tell us that jove is to bad to deal with a much bad player who abuse Op abilitys?

this "hero" is a no-name player...jove is a veteran ..look to the ladders.

1. "hero" is a no name player...but was able to destroy joves JgTiger, and nearly his KT
2. hero rushed often jove base
3. hero destroyed joves schwerer
4. jove struggle much 40min to destroy it
5. if hero would build a better anti tank (maybe 17pounder) wall...he would win!?
6. if u have a teammate in 2v2 u can look too easy a wide area and ur mate pushes hard, while ur morta can on little maps do much dmg
7. only hero lost, istn a prove that it isnt op > look the cost/ efficence from this units..which unit has such performanche for this price?
8. a little luck against the KT...and jove would be the loser

Bofors means no AEC, so long as that remains a fact, I don't see any problem with this emplacement.
