P-47 Rocket Strike vs Stuka Close Air Support [VIDEO Proof]

• 240 ammo cost
  
• Poor accuracy
  
• Rockets can collide/miss often
  
• Can be countered by OKW for free
  
• Have to deal with well-armored units
  

• 200 ammo cost
  
• Rarely miss
  
• Can't collide with terrain
  
• Hard to counter (have to build dedicated AA)
  
• Have to deal with normally poor armored units
  

• Reduced the ammo from 240 to 200.
  
• Add stun and damage engine capacity
  
• Increase the accuracy
  
• Reduce rockets spread
  
• Increase rockets area of effect
  
• Increase plane durability (don't think will be that effective)
  
• Nerf Stuka air support (I don't like this one)

cool game from 3 months ago that demonstrates power of close air support but surprising to see high level player underestimate the ability so many times until he finally had to build a AA halftrack to counter it

also axis player relied on it and basically dragged out the game 2x longer relying on its random engine damage crutch and stuns lol

just look at play around 27 minutes, if that was p47 strike it would have missed both t34 20 times and both would of reversed away with no engine damage at full speed

Thank you, this match shows how stupid stronger is Stuka compared with p47. The ability to stun and crit engine changes everything.

28:53 First Stuka.
36:42 you can see how the ability ends and still almost kill a t34 with a strafe while T-34 was moving
38:50 Third Stuka

DBP 1.6 update

P47/Typhoon Rockets
The following change is intended to make rocket plane attacks more consistently accurate, especially vs stationary targets.

Rocket origin point from 5/5 to 3.5/-3.5 (affects consistency)

I will test soon and post a video
