There is so much lolz in this thread, Why are we discussing this doctrine AGAIN.
This is like the 4th time in the last month but lets break it down again...
- CAS consists of Fuel to muni, Recon, AT strafe, AI strafe, Stuka dive bomb.
- All the strikes are skillshots.
- The one using CAS will have not many tanks and in many cases no tanks.
- Ostheer is extremely vulnerable to things like kat trucks and ISU when using CAS.
- You don't counter it by shooting down the planes you counter it by dodging the skillshots.
- Demo's rape CAS blobs super hard. Most noobs don't spread there blob apart when using CAS.
- If Nerfed Luft supply and Ostruppen will take its place and both are just as effective.
- 2 to 3 mediums crushing can really ruin his day.
anti infantry strafe, if done right will AOE suppress surrounding units as far as 25m away. it's not a matter of blobbing or not.
Its dodge-able if you want to complain about the Stuka pin its the loitering one that can't miss.
dive bomb completely nullifies ml20 and b4. which is kinda lame.
Don't build ML-20 and B4 when you see him have a huge lmg/shreck blob too early. if you do its your own fault.
In 4v4 you get 2 going CAS and never lose.
While annoying CAS alone isn't going to win them the game When the IS2's and ISU's come rolling out they will have a very hard time stopping them without heavy armor. In 4's 2x CAS leaves you vulnerable in the sense that you don't have tank numbers.
With the B4 nerf I see no excuse for Stuka to hit base sectors.
If you got hit at your base sector with all your infantry there you got outplayed.
Its not different then shooting kats at base sector or priests.
What I actually find more annoying with this commander is the amount of tellers, lmg grens, riflenades, shrekgrens etc. it comes with. nearly infinite ammo suply makes Ostheer really really strong.
This is the strength of it right here, the planes are secondary. If CAS got nerfed Ostruppen doct can do it almost as well.
