How anyone can defend the stuka is beyond me. In 1v1 and 2v2 I don't know, but in 3v3 and 4v4 it's a guaranteed unit destroyer.
Goodluck moving the 3 or 4 weapons teams you have from the time you hear the noise to impact. Even if you do manage to move them all, they're so slow to move they're going to die horribly anyway, if they just squad wiped you which is bad enough....well that's one thing, but no, they destroy the weapon itself too.
Squad in a building? Goodbye building, even with the changes to building damage, most buildings go down and the squad is dead at least. Axis have a squad in a building, what am I to kill it with? Mortars. Slowly.
Not to mention the fact they're almost impossible to kill. If you somehow manage to get a t34 through the lines of shrek squads, pak's, pumas and p4's then it takes at the very, very minimum 2, shots to kill, sometimes 4. In the meantime it is of course reversing like mad back to safety whilst the t34 struggles to keep line of sight on it. Chances of getting your t34 back to your own lines? Slim to say the least.
And this is early to mid game. Once the KT's and JT's start rolling out, there's no chance in hell you're going to kill it unless it decides to drive into your base, even if this does happen, an IS-2 doesn't one shot it. Crazy.
To people saying the katy is just as lethal - would you swap the Stuka for the Katy? I think we all know the answer to that.
