The problem with precision shot is that you can fire it into the FOW, unlike the stuka dive bomb. If it comes back it needs to only work in sight range of your units, and normal barrage like it is into FOW. It also gives some more counterplay this way, while still being very effective.

Shooting P.S. in fog means throwing 90 muni into nothing. You should clearly see target, because with such accuracy it should hit it directly. So, you will have to use 80 muni airrecon anyway.

And is it such a big deal, that Dive Bomb can't be dropped into fog? In CAS doctrine they actually have airrecon, so - problem solved. For all other cases - call your mates for recon or use your units, you have options here anyway.

And stop telling that "it's easy to dodge dive bomb". Yea, maybe easy for fast infantry or fast tanks. But not for slow weapon crews or heavy tanks. And besides - it has such enourmous AoE, so it will hit you infantry even if you moved them right when you heard first sounds of falling bomb, so - it will affect you anyway, and B-4's AoE is not such ridiculosly big.

And don't forget - you can't lose your Ju.87 with bomb, but it's veery easy to lose unprotected and static howitzer.

Dive bomb didn't have such a large aoe back then, the stuka dive could be easily dodged compared to the b4. You can still pretty effectively dodge the stuka dive. Pricing is also important 160mu on a starved faction to 90mu on a muni floating faction.

Could be easily dodge? Yea, when they rightly calulate time and drop bomb on my HQ, when my infantry retreats to it, reminds me "Dodge this" from Matrix. And in a midle of combat you can't always hear sound of falling bomb or if you hear it - it may be late. So, there is no differense between B-4 and Ju.87 in this.

And if pircing is important, then have in mind, that for to get that "90 muni" ability you should:

1. Choose that one doctrine.
2. Spend 600 MP (huge enough) for to get unit. Wehrmacht don't pay any MP for to call Ju.87. More than that - Ju is absolutelty unvunerable while bomb falling. Compare it with IL-2 bombing strike, which also costs way more.
3. Get Vet 1. That's not so easy with such random accuracy, like B-4 has.
4. Ok, now you are ready to snipe enemy units. OH SHI-, IT'S DIVE BOMB FALLING ON MY B-4!!!
5. GO TO 2.

So yea, Pricing is very important. But for B-4 you have to pay so much times more...

Flare mine is fine. Specially against certain units formations or outside doors.

For whoever suggest bringing back precision strike, they are insane.
Start by making them cheaper and see how it goes. I'll like seeing a deconstruction mechanic added to engineers in general, so they can get a refund on static emplacements.

If suggesting of bringing back Precision strike is insanity, then what about Dive Stuka Bomb, which is almost same ability, which also requiers no units and veterancy for it, so - no risks for your money and time.

Or... maybe you think, that Stuka Dive Bomb is OP? And it should be removed too, and any, who suggest to save it is insane?

P.S. Since when flare mine is fine? How often you see people use it? Never? In 1 of 100/1000 games? Give something really usefull to soviet infantry already, not that loosy shit.

haha look at the date and take of your biased glasses lul

2013... well, in those time game was pretty balanced. In one moment, USSR was even more powerfull, with power of "Soviet Industry" fast spam of cheap and reliable T-34-76.

But... those time are gone

You don't know the game better than people who are actually good at it and if you seriously think soviets are weak then you don't know how to play the faction which in tern means you don't know what you are talking about.

You are either an arm chair critic or you play the game so badly 'OMG SOVIETS SO BAD' when in fact they are not.

You are the kind of person that likes the sounds of his own voice but does not in fact have a clue what they are talking about.

I know game good enough and I know what I write about. If you think, that "only chosen skilful players has a right to decide - what is good and what is bad", then that game is really dead already.

And be sure, I know how to play as USSR, I can beat people as them, but that's not a point of my entire "USSR is bad faction topic".

When I say "USSR is bad", I don't mean, that you just can beat anyone as them, it means, that it requiers from you way more powers, than it would take from you to beat people as Axis. You just have to play harder then them!

I hate today's situation, when Axis players have easy and relaxing gameplay, while USSR and USF tearing their asses apart for to get that victory.

So, if you think, that it is right "assymetrical balance", when 1 factions needs no skills, while other requiers from you skills of Korean Starcraft Nerd, then OK, game is balanced.

But, I think, balance should mean, that game is equially hard for both sides - axis and allies. Right now it is hard only for allies and only for USSR and USF. All others, including UKF now can just relax and be happy.
