ur concept of artillery is flawed, it is not an AI unit. it is an artillery. lets not simplify this. AI units are not units that are great against infantry, they are incidentally, also direct fire units. direct fire units are going to expose themselves to the battlefield and all its dangers. a t3485 can be great against tanks and infantry, but it can also be negated, contained and prevented from doing too much damage. rakentenwerfer, paks and schrecks, germans have more than enough anti tank weapons.

but the stuka is an artillery, i cannot negate its firepower, i can only brace for it and the best i can do is spread out and take reduced casualties. i would stop all these, if relic is to include isreal anti missile systems to the factions for 450mp and 125 fuel with a 90% chance to shoot down rockets. but no, i can spread out but it wont work. but smart players will not bother, they will not aim at a general area chock full of delicious meatbags. instead, with stuka's ability to squad wipe, they will fire at individual squads and wipe them 1 by 1. so even after proper countermeasures to artillery, stuka just shits on that theory and still wipes squads.

the reason why im so adamant is because sooner or later, people are going to get better, the crying will start all over again when people finally learn to abuse this thing. im all for balance but this is not 1 of them.

sure, if you think an AI unit must have 50 kills before it is useful, we have a problem. most units have barely more than 10 kills, people retreat them before models start dropping. but they cede territory.

blob blob blob, i hear this word a few times, what actually constitutes to a blob, 4 squads moving together? or is it a single 6 man squad moving on its own?

look, im sick and tired of people saying not to blob. arty punishes blobbing, that is a good mechanic. but stuka is a arty piece that focuses all its rounds into a small area. that does not punish blobbing, that basically fucks anything off the face of the earth that is in its strike zone.

tldr, it has a good chance of 1 shotting squads and support teams, just like the isu.

the stuka, needs to be affected by scatter, it is as simple as that.

also to those saying stuka has a sound. yes they sure do, also the shells lands as fast as it is fired and here's a replay to show.

you can bitch about how badly we played and stuff like that but thats not the point. they were good players and we got mashed, but stuka, god damn. almost immediate reaction, still couldn't save anything.

I took the Luchs to be a heavy recon vehicle that is suited to anti infantry role vs the Puma, which is light AT. Although I think the Luch's fighting power vs infantry is worse than the flaktrack, whose only drawback is that it has to set up and tear down before firing or moving.
That said, I hardly ever use the Luchs. If I wanted anti-infantry I go flaktrack, despite the weaknesses. The flaktrack can suppress/pin as well, so I might as well use it like a heavy-duty HMG unit.
