Nullist -
The IL-2 was actually specifically designed with armour facing downwards to prevent enemy fire having such an effect. It even had its radiator placed on top of the engine rather than traditionally on the bottom (where it's going to be hit). The Stuka not so much.

We call this "wipe plane" because there is only one chance to survive - insta retreat if you see red smoke and hope. It is simply too powerfull but the main problem with this ability from my experience is that the plane can finish off damaged Ostwind (esp with damaged engine) with no problem which is stupid cuz it is the only counter Ost got (AC will not survive to late game).

Heres a replay, kid gets absolutely stomped and then between 2 strafes he kills almost all my infantry. Worse than 2.601 strafe, at least that had a small target box instead of raping everything including the infantry you retreated from it.

Just had a game on Minsk where my opponent managed to get off a strafe. It killed 2 squads on retreat, brought my vet1 P4 down to half health and shot off the top gunner as well...
He gained map control, strafed me a second time and so I lost.

I have to add that the first strafe was targeted on my P4 and that the Il-2 seemed to fire at the rear of it.

From the thread about the KV8

It doesn't matter if it costs 4000 MP and 8000 fuel. It doesn't matter if it comes out at the 45 minute mark. It doesn't matter if it's 12CP.

This is Company of Heroes, where unit preservation and veterancy and combined arms are key. Anything that does what the KV8 does, with small exceptions for lucky artillery strikes, completely breaks that aspect of the game.


You obviously didn't watch the replay (nor very familiar with Winter Pripyat, where there are 4 high munition sectors) but the map control was fairly even and I was killing all the "shock units" instantly while maintaining a VP bleed for most of the game. All my muni expenditures were easily equal to or greater than 480mun with a Shrek upgrade, LMGs, rifle nades, healing, tank MG upgrades, and whatever I was floating. So yeah, might want to do some research next time ok?

Well said.

It's not that hard to save up 240 muni for soviets even without holding most of the map.

Thanks to your code, after one retreat, my squads will be unpinnable.

Sometimes the Soviet Strafe is a troll ability(had it decrew a AT gun that was in the opposed corner of the map where I called it),sometimes just a recon plane,doesn't always kill what you want it to kill
