>>IL-2 Rocket Strafe
>>A slight delay has been added due to the high damage this ability can deal to armored vehicles in a short period of time, before players can react.
>>Added a delay of 2 seconds before the airstrike arrives.

This was only usable on small maps before nerf, on all 4v4 maps and chunk of 2v2's plane already was too slow to ever hit anything unless you used it near the edge of the map

Now it's utterly worthless on any maps that are larger than 1v1 in size. CAS commander has similar strafe, with 1.5 sec delay, I've never seen it hit anything in my life, after it received delay even on small maps

Also, it's looking even more pathetic compared to PTAB or or IL-2 bombing run. At this point recon would be more useful that *this*

I tested it. The first rocket of the soviet strafe hits the ground 1 full second before the first round of the AT CAS strafe (5 seconds vs 6 seconds, about 200 distance from the edge of the map). Both last about 3 seconds until the full payload is delivered. The rocket strafe seems to benefit more from being dropped at the absolute edge of the map, shaving off another second (4 seconds before impact), while the AT CAS strafe stays at around 6 seconds.

The rocket strafe seems to have about the same time of impact as the CAS suppression strafe now.

I personally consider that to be fair.

The observation bunker is an april fools joke right?

This thing is total garbage for 300 manpower and 60! munitions for some flares??? LOL

Wehr need a field hq like soviets... or even better remove all field hq's from the game as its a broken mechanic or at the very least make them so they can be unhq'ed

Would be fair if this commander had some endgame armor, as of now it provides literally zero scaling into lategame. Why would anyone pick this over Isu+guards+bombing strike or IS-2+shocks+incendiary arty? Infantry is a cannon fodder by the end of the game and that commander has only infantry and support weapons with FRP, perfect combo to receive stukas and werfers into face.

You are aware that command bunker exists?
Paired with med bunker, you have cheaper HQ like soviets, which can be placed anywhere on the map.

You don't ever play axis do you? the problem has nothing to do with med bunkers its to do with super hp buildings durability and wehr and okw complete lack of anything like satchels to counter it properly until late game.
