Sturmovik Tracking

I just played a game where Sturmovik tracking elicited something of a WTF response from me.

On replay I can see that my Sturmpio squad was still just inside the circle when the plane started tracking them, so I can sort of understand why they get followed outside the circle.

But should it really be so devastating to a unit well into retreat?

Don't trust the circle on the map.

Victim of a bad retreat path that kept the squad close to the edge for a long time.

This CAS has been OP for awhile. Just hasn't been on meta commanders for awhile so it has avoided public eye for the majority of players. Maybe next patch (if it comes) will fix.

u can see the sturmovik lock on and fly off for its attack run before the sturms even retreat.

I Thought The Sturmovik was Fine last patch, Hopefully the damage can be scaled back to that level.

It was very effective when you used combined arms but only kind of annoying if they just dropped it without followup. I think changing it back to those damage levels would be appropriate.

Last patch didn't freak out when my opponent had stumovicks but I also really liked choosing commanders that had them. Didn't work as well against OKW b/c their blob came back but FRP and Tier4 both got nerfed to make it more effective vs them.

Finally I don't think the stated intent of this change was to buff the ability's damage, it was supposed to suppress more stuff and not get shot down. Went too far.

I think it's mostly the intense accuracy of it, when I'd expect more of a strafe. Especially against a unit in retreat.

Overrall this thing works so weird. Sometimes flying like 5 times in a circle, and then finally deciding to shoot, and sometimes they strafe one unit over and over again even if it retreats. So weird

All plane abilities which cause damage should use the same input as the strafe run from the USF calliope commander. At least then it requires far more user input and timing than the current versions.

Actually the change in IL-2 have made the ability OP

IL-2 Sturmovik Attack
We are increasing the number of planes to two to improve survivability and increase the number of targets that can be suppressed. Damage and tracking has been adjusted to prevent the IL-2 from wiping lone squads.

Damage from 8 to 5
Now deploys two planes
Tracking from 90 to 25
Minimum range removed
Firing cone from 8 to 15
Max down from -25 to -20
Max up from 90 to 20
Nearby suppression radius from 13 to 20

And actually since loitering planes can no longer spot for themselves I really don't see the point in them, since the just fly around waiting to be shot down making the performance inconstant across mode.

Adding a suppression to planes reducing their effectiveness when they are being fired upon could help balance this abilities even more.

They could easily be replaced by planes that appear one a target has been locked do a single strafe and fly off map for the duration.

Permanently Banned

All planes ability work not in circle, from p47 to Ju strafes. Its ficha of them.
Also i agree with Denchik.
Sturmovik was bad, coz OKW AA things just shoot down that 1 plane, sometimes he even cannot make 1 shoot.
Before say taht somthing are OP or weak, we need standarts and rules. Planes must wipe infatry/tanks ? How many models/damage thay must do ?

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM

Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM

Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM

Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM

Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM

Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM

Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM

Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM

OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM

Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM

Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM

Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

12 Mar 2025, 03:59 AM

theekvn: and please Rosbone,I know you hate Coh3 to the bone due to your drama with relic, Still, Can you give a proper point of view instead of raging ?.
12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM

theekvn: you rather go 76 to unity Whizbang 2.0 or go home.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM

theekvn: also US tier 4 is 145f and Sherman pen 140 nerf is too much.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM

theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress
12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
