simply clicking a stuka dive bomb or IL-2 bombing run on a leif/152 howitzer shouldn't delete it from the map imo
It would be one thing if you could protect your emplacements with some kind of low cost AA unit, but the stuka cant be shot down (even though a plane in a dive was vulnerable) and Ostheer has to build an Ostwind which is a significant investment just for AA
The howitzer itself should survive stuka dives and IL-2 runs with some HP left, and should only be destroyed with combined arms + offmap. Obviously the biggest offmaps should still take them out due to cost.
the same players who were (rightfully) complaining of demo charge cheese are now defending the goliath, which is an invisible mobile demo charge that spots for itself
Their chance to shoot down planes is extremely low - might as well remove it.
Talking about base defences.
I keep hearing this but half the time I use the fuel plane it gets shot down, and the enemy almost never has a AA halftrack, ostwind, scout car or Sturmpio flak emplacement on the map.
1. Snare it.
2. Piat blob it to death, thx to 80 deflection damage.
Therefore no thank you. You have a snare on the sniper, it only requires vet 1. Brits were managing without snares up to this point, I don't see a reason why they should get it.
I think one of the reasons the 6 Pounder has it's 50 % better accuracy against vehicle is because they have no classical snare.
god forbid a tank that has been driven next to an anti-tank blob be killed
