Profile of murky depths

I think there's some variability with the first shot landing. A few times, it was near instantaneous, but yesterday I/team mate used it a few times and the first shot took like 10 seconds or so to land.

No, they don't have a snare.

Last night I played a team game (4v4) on Port of Hamburg and two of these abilities were called back to back.

Fun fact, they also target and bomb fuel caches apparently.

It took way too long for the ability to clear out, and even after it had, the planes re-acquired my units. I had retreated 3 squads to base, but quickly moved them AWAY From the base structure because I figured they were going to be bombed there, sure enough they were.

I dunno, I think it should be changed so the targeted area is what is bombed and not individual units in it. By all means, have the planes suppress based on target + track, but the bombs themselves should be based on the area of the call-in.

If the bombs must persist with the tracking option then something has to be changed.

BTW, 3 of the 4 people in that game were using the commander + ability (the 4th being wehrmacht).

It is very clearly overperforming.

I understand that the AT overwatch for soviets is also overperforming, but that one at least has the limitation that once you leave you're safe. With Sector Assault, even a full retreat from one end of the map to your base isn't... in fact it can mean that your massed retreated units all get cluster-wiped.

Not that I think balance = both sides get broken OP shit, but my point is that there's only so much one can do.

On port of Hamburg and other maps like it that sector assault basically means that area is completely off limits and if you so much as stoke the ire of the planes by exposing yourself, you'll get insta-gibbed after. AA was out, it does not effectively counter it unless you specifically shoot the loiter from outside the circle very meticulously. In any other game I'd agree that's fine, but that's not really how things work in CoH2.

Several assault Rifles, SMG and all HMG already have scatter. You can try it on cheatmods by having a singular invulnerable model and putting several squads behind it.

Yeah but a blob can still steamroll those, but giving a RA malus means even rifles would hit more frequently.

Tho I do know what you mean, it's why a sturmpioneer can reduce a 4 man squad to 4% hp but not drop a model.

That puts us back at square one. Maybe I need to accept my inner twistedtootsie and go for mechanized. Dang shame since assengineers+wolverines are so fun.
