This whole topic is about OKW flares so ofc i would assume you'd be talking about. yeah Ok, i misunderstood no need to cry like a little wus.
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.
This is hands down one of the most pressing issues in the game at the moment that should be looked at. It is a legitimate map hack. In 1v1 maybe not as much, but still so as you can have a stuka with cmd panther. Team games it is a joke. If their partner makes a stuka, or makes a werfer targets lit up all day. It stops UKF and USF being able to use any fwd retreats. It improves targeting greatly if their team goes Lefh. Improves some call in abilitys. Stops the ability of your team to set up flanking manuevers or traps as they can see it coming. Stops brits being able to use any emplacements late game especially the 17 pdr as they can see it being built and just rush it. Not that it would have much of an impact anyways they would already know where it is. Positioning of MGs and where the AT guns are at. Makes for the best and most reliable rcon in the game to call in take out allied artillery pieces. Is the best and most reliable rcon ability in the game with no draw backs whatsoever and uncounterable. Just It going off every 2 mins makes me have to rearrange my entire back field.
But yeah its not that bad
