Because it's no where near as bad as HMG42 spamming. |
Eh, it's not awful. It's a cheaper, faster P4 that gets an accuracy upgrade instead of a pintle mount. It's fine against Ostheer.
It's when you compare it to the USF Sherman and the OKW uparmoured P4 that it starts to look a bit on the shit side.
It really only seems like a good medium tank compared to the T34/76 but the T34/76 is much much cheaper despite it's over all poor preformance as a medium. No way should a Cromwell cost as much as a much better Sherman.
The only time I build and used several Cromwells successfully was when I spammed them to counter Puma spam from an OKW player that had foregoed T3 |

Centaur is good at one thing, Cromwell sucks at everything so Centaur. |

You spelled MG42 wrong. That things been fking broken since day 1 and there is apparently no desire from anyone to fix it. |
The entire forum, except maybe Katitof (even he has his limits) is sick and tired of you.
That isn't my problem.
So anyway, I know the LEIG is not quite as good as the Pack Howitzer but it's pretty close, cheaper and spamable. |
Literally complain that a set and forget, cheap 360 degree Supression/ai/light AT building that shoots down planes and can barrage targets, tank an entire sturmtiger rocket and still fight but can ALSO reduce incoming damage by 75%for a duration is too trash while saying other faction has fancy toys at low prices....
Do literally anything at all to support your bofors and it does work. It's an emplacement, it fortifies an area. It has to have a fucking counter. That counter is an immobile indirect unit plinking away.... Attack it! Counter attack, PUSH. this game isn't SUPPOSED to be tower defense. Don't whine when the enemy doesn't let you sit there and dig in to your hearts content. Even the fucking bots will take measures to counter you when you dig in for Christ's sake. The days of building sim city then making a meal until you have enough fuel to spam tanks is over. Emplacements are entirely optional PART of your army that are situational.
You can use a bofors to ensure your enemy needs to attack a flank with force to get through
You can't just plop it on the front and expect it to hold back the enemy like Rambo or something.
You can rush the Bofors and burn it down with Volksgrens now, it's not hard, hell even before you could just shoot it with AT guns or Raketenwerfers. I rarely even built it before but now rarely is going to be never. It could at least be good at shooting down planes but it can't even do that (never could really). |

Serious question I have here: Fallschrimjagers are only one of two effective elite infantry units that are available before CP3, the other are Soviet Shock Troops...are there any elite infantry call-ins like that? Now I know people are now complaining about Fallschrimjagers but what about Shocks? Anyone ever suggeste they be a CP3 unit instead of 2? I wouldn't count Panzerfuzilers, Cavalry Riflemen, Assault Engineers or JLI as elite units BTW. |
For a bofor replacement, i will go with the valentine, rework it in to a slow AI tank, 550-600 HP, 4.8-5 speed, 80dmg main gun, improve aoe and MG, somke pot. So that, in T2, UKF have choice between fast AT and slow AI specialist.
In the other hand, post patch bofor doesn't bad, with reliable suppression, it still be a good area control station.
I prefer built it further behind the line now. For many situations, I use the bofor for to hold cut off or a coupled of control points that latter i will put cache, in early - mid game, it also act as a last ditch backup in case of my front line got overrun, it also protect the rear from infiltration units like fall or stomtrooop, all while provide some short of AA. And yeah, The only thing need improve is AA, if AA performance of bofor can be just more reliable, it will be very nice.
Seems like a lot of resouses to spend on an emergency rear guard unit that's immobile and you will likely never use. With something like a USF fighting position or OST MG bunker you are paying a relatively small about of resources and zero pop and getting a much better emergency rear guard unit. I think UKF should be able to build their base MG bunkers now as a Bofors replacement. |

Since the Bofors delete I'm not sure this unit's past buffs serve a purpose anymore. Damage and scatter should be brought down to a more sane level. I know the baby faction likes to have the fancy toys at discount prices but the whole point of the LEIG buffs was to deal with emplacements, the Bofors in particular. |
Maybe bundle UKF T2 upgrade together……after upgrade allowed build Bofors and AEC
I wouldn't build a Bofors if it were free at this point so that's not really going to do anything. If they want the Bofors gone they should just replace it with something else. |
