OKW art flares at least should get an indicator in minimap

How many posts are you going to make about thid topic? Imo easier way to balance it is to limit area it reveals and increase its cooldown so in teamgame you cant just spam it if you hoard a bunch of munitions.

Infiltration nades cost 5mu more (to be in line with cost) and the command panther is tied to tech like all heavies so the uncounterable recon is fine now. At least that's what I've been told

Lol at least only some of cheese will still be there

Can we also just talk about how silly it is that flares provide vision, for all factions? Especially when almost all of the maps are daytime?

I know i know, realism shmealism, but in this case its almost an indicator of why the ability is dumb

I think I would rather more prevalent grenade ability that has an animation and can be moved away from that an unchanged uncounterable recon as a means to fix the commander. As lists of things that Ive picked the commander wouldn't even have infiltration nades on the list.

just copy pasta the british one (front line territories only) and rename it "assault flare"

The lamest thing is how easy of a fix it is. Make it a flare ability for infantry like rocket just suggested, or just swap it out entirely for a recon loiter. It's really simple

The only rationale i can imagine for keeping it is the "uniqueness" for lack of a better word. And choosing that over fair play is so stupid

All factions have shared vision, regardless of unit or ability

Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 21:22 PMSkysTheLimit

You completely missed the point, I wasn't talking about "shared vision" at all. You could not have read that more incorrectly

I said all flares are dumb, for all factions. If i fire a flare in real life, can that flare radio me and tell me the position of my enemies? No. That was my point. Idk what the hell you're talking about

Also no one is exaggerating, the ability is a complete joke. Cant imagine how anyone could defend it. Explain why it should be uncounterable, i would love to see you try

Calling this ability a "complete joke" or other people have said "absolutely broken" is a definition of a exaggeration. People making it seem like its some ground breaking ability which its not. Did i say it should be uncounterable? stop putting words in my mouth, right now ther are more pressing issues that needs to be balanced, maybe in the future if they start looking at rebalancing recon options for OKW (like flares, IR half track etc.) it will be dealt then, together. Not picking and choosing what you like and don't like about OKW.

How many years will it take for balance team to figure out that ability is absolutely broken in teamgames and makes static howitzers pointless waste of resources?
But hey, at least infiltration grenades cost 5 more munitions now.
