Every other artillery in the game, including Katyusha and Panzerwerfer which are squishy as fuck have to move to the frontlines to deal any damage.
Walking stuka has the luxury at firing from max range, even in the fog of war, without this affecting its pinpoint accuracy. Therefore, it's undue for the walking stuka to be any more durable than the forementioned artillery.
If you've been moving your stuka close to the frontlines to fire, you've been doing it wrong.
Invissed loads more offtopic posts. This thread has become a steaming pile of shite, you can see the flies buzzing about all the way from Relic HQ.
Certain members, predominantly zerocoh and Dangerous Cloth will receive warnings and then bans if they continue their trolling and flaming on this thread and the DBP thread.
What trolling? And you let this be buried here without sending a pm?
It is only good once it gets vet 2. Vet 3 IS2 is a beast. But the problem is, once it hits the field in a 1v1, it will get eaten alive by pak walls with target weakpoint, vetted stugs with target weakpoint, and stuka loiters. Add to this the standard Tiger call in and guess what, the IS2 is useless. It also faces vetted JP4s, Command Panthers, invisible predator raketten wolf packs and the mighty KT.
I believe the FBP had some interesting veterancy changes for the IS2. But these got scrapped for now.
I like how this thread has become a flamewar the likes of which I never even could have realized. Yet everyone hates me for being biased, whilst everyone here is adding nothing to the balance patch or its discussion other then nonsense hating on each other.
