Profile of Katukov

As someone who rather frequently uses the katy barrage ability;

compared to the normal katy barrage:
+Katyusha creeping barrages are more consistent than the normal barrage, their damage is more so concentrated into a wide "lane". Its also more accurate at longer ranges relative to the standard katyusha barrage
+very good in surgical strikes deep into enemy frontline, rockets are consistently going to kill, IF they land - they travel slowly across the ability path, infantry can run at the same pace
+EXCEPTIONALLY efficient in striking buildings, it is an AMAZING ability to attack OKW buildings and other emplacements
-creeping barrage advances slowly, this can and will become a problem if the initial rockets do not strike and the enemy is alert.
-the barrage costs ammunition (with multiple katy, you will feel this become an issue pretty soon)
-easier to dodge than an ordinary katyusha strike (though this depends on RNG)

Compared to the walking stuka:
-+Wider "lane" effect, thus wider field of damage.
+katy has stronger anti building damage, though the stuka doesn't lag far behind at all
-the walking stuka's barrage can be considered a bit more consistent, it also fires faster, meaning that its less exposed to counterbarrage and the rockets land easier
-both katy creeping barrage and stuka barrage can be dodged, though support weapons often cant do it in time

I'd say that neither are superior to the other though, both get to be spammed in team games anyway

HP yes, but 220 is far away from "high armor"

it is high enough for a 1200 to 1450 hp vehicle lol



iirc it has the most hp in the game

Having to use doctrinal units to counter vanilla units is always a treat.

available in 2 of 6 doctrines and you have a kubelwagen/p2 to suicide into sniper



You can instead mitigate sniper bleed by paradoxically pushing like a fucking idiot, forcing him to flee

Incendiary Explosive Round. Used by the OST sniper to stun infantry in 99.99% of its use. Apparently it deals a special 50 damage to light vehicles if it penetrates, however.

EDIT: I lied. Include finishing off 1 model squads in that 99% somewhere.

lmao i don't think anyone even knows it does damage to LVs, people rarely even use the ability on normal infantry

When I see this post I cry for what could have been.

On a completely seperate note does anyone know who the handsome man in that pfp is? Asking for a friend (me).

you cant be seriously asking that
