They provided much more than you have. You haven't provided anything at all
First I'm not the one coming out with a thread asking for a nerf of an ability without showing any kind of evidence of why it would have to be so, if you want people to reply correctly at any of your request you have to be precise and show them a minimum of reflexion over why you came up with this idea, why they should follow this idea, and the whole illustrated with some example or numbers.
Second,here there was just a lot of players motivated by their emotions more than by their reason calling for a nerf based on their subjective experience more than any concrete reflexion. Despite the lack of any evidence I provided example and even illustated it more than necessary to help some understand.
What are you trying to say? It makes no sense to compare those abilities and it only works against your point, as I just showed you
Can you answer the question? Why does it need to be uncounterable? Why can't we just replace it with a recon plane?
Let's keep it simple:
Il-2 Bomb: have the ability to destroy ------> Need a drawback -----> red flares+vision to cast
Flares: don't have this ability to destroy -----> No need of a drawback -----> no need of those.
Now why is it uncounterable?
Planes: Cover a wider area, last longer, can reveal invisible units -----> Drawback: can be destroyed.
Flares: Smaller area, can't reveal invisible units ect... -------> No need of such drawback.
Those ability are different and flares are unique, and I'm sure what motivates people to a nerf is more than this unique ability from a single commander is specific to the OKW than anything else.
Why can't we just replace it with recon plane? Read Previous post about reco units of the OKW and recent nerf of the IR-HT, you'll understand that without making it a good reco, nerfing the only real reco of the OKW isn't a good idea at all.
