Profile of murky depths

"the narrator" haha
i always thought of him as the supreme commander or something ^^

Nah, the supreme commander's voice sounds different. I forget his name, it was like... uhh... Hartlen? No... uhh Hetten? No wait... uhh... it'll come back to me, just give me a minute.

I'd rather not have it heavy-crit tanks for the tradeoff-that it doesn't insta-gib light tanks/vehicles, since having an immobile tank basically means it's dead and that would make mediums and even heavies get knocked the eff out if they had non-doctrinal riegels all over. At least the riegel requires a 251 (same with USF, m-20).

If you're talking about a nerf to teller then IMO the only thing is to just remove the instagib but that probably won't go over so just do what I do when you play as allies.

Never drive on the road.

edit: since demo charges always come up, and since they can't be placed ON the actual capture point anymore, I think they should be stealthed again like they used to be, since the big beef was that you can just demo every VP and your opponent can't do anything about it (unless they bring a sweeper I guess, and I'm sure there's some cyclical argument about tellers and sweepers and how you can afford to have one near your tank but not every infantry and blah blah blah but I'd rather side-step all that and just say that since you can't put them on the VP, they can be stealth again -- also, I am unironically in favor of wehrmacht getting access (more like axis amirite) to demos via a commander)

My view is that you have to be VERY lucky for your quad to kill the plane, and often have to be between the target and the spawn point of the bomber, as it only takes a few seconds for the bombs to fall.

The issue is that you have no clue where the bomber is going to target, hence the luck.

The quad is the absolute best AA in the game, hands down, but it isn't a 'cure' for the problem the way it can totally hardcounter a stuka CAS or the OKW Luftwaffe stuka loiter.

edit: My real conclusion from all of this is to do away with all one-click abilities unless they are specifically aimed (strafe, incendiary artillery, smoke shells).

Using some of these abilities on a VP is effectively a "ha ha you can't win" button in altogether too many games, especially team games, where the odds of your opponent (or even your own team) having one is 400% more likely.

The short answer: No, garands are a close range weapon.

The longer answer: (Individually) Kars heavily eclipse garands at long range. Garands pull slightly ahead at close range. This is because (to my understanding) kars and the other bolt actions have a wind down time of 1.3 seconds that the garand doesnt have, meaning the garand has does have a higher rate of fire and pulls ahead in DPS even though it does half of the damage per shot. Garands ARE a close range weapon (relative to other rifles due to *cough* relative positioning). Of course theyre not true close range weapons like smgs are though.

So in terms of pure profile, theyre a mid range weapon. In terms of performance relative to what theyre likely to be facing, theyre a close range weapon - the closer the better against kars.

I had been interpreting 'cooldown' to be the time between shots, but from what you've posted, this doesn't seem to be the case. So what is cooldown?

So, just to clarify.

Bombs are not tied to a stuka entity (and thus just drop for orbit)?

I'm not sure, the bombing plane is pretty fast and unless you have a good AA (basically, a quad) in front of its target location, you probably won't be able to shoot it down.
