I certainly agree with the point about spread and range. Pretty much all rocket artillery is useless at max range except for the landmattress, which has very poor range and high minimum range.

I think they are for the most part too hard to dive. Incredibly fragile units but often killing them will require you to sacrifice a vehicle IF you can even find them. Locating a rocket artillery vehicle can often come too late to react when yo must micro your units immediately not knowing where a first volley will land. Subsequent seconds are used repositioning your troops more effectively and finally only AFTER PEOPLE ARE DEAD, you can see where the artillery is, but by then they are running.

If Rocket artillery was revealed when it fired rather than when it hit you, that would make it much easier to counter which i think is necessary since it is really not in any standard playbook to kill them. It takes a big misplay by your opponent to kill them 95% of the time.

This would also be a reasonable tradeoff between quick firing axis units and slow firing allied ones who seem to perform better presently without impacting the fire power or usefulness to skilled players.


TLDR: Rocket artillery should be revealed when firing not hitting, creates risk, does not affect effectiveness vs campers.

I have never hit more rockets on shot blockers than with the STUKA though, not high enough of a trajectory for me apparently

hmm..compare PW with LM or caliope or katjuscha.

pw i think has 9 rockets....caliope and katjuscha around 20...and LM around 30 rockets

answer ok?

so, uh, is ability calling inside the base now a thing?

2 Possible bugs that I have come across:

Post game stats are not tallying correctly.
Queuing of a retreat order, using the shift key, after exiting a building doesn't work consistently.

The real problem with the Axis Bunkers is the armor. Sure we can make comments about the fighting position getting nades and a MG all we want but they die super easy to small arms. MG42's, pios, sturmpios all have a fairly easy time clearing it due to its lower armor. The OKW/OST bunker has high enough armor that its not damaged by small arms fire making it hard to flank/clear. The only options for removal are ATguns, mortars (not an effective counter), Or a demo charge which typically runs around 80 muni.

In theory an early bunker can lock down sections of the map up to if not past the 7-8 min mark due to lack of solid counters and if not cleared can essentially trap the opponent as it even spots for itself (mostly <90% of arc) .

These issues only get worse in large team games as they are easy to set up with the added MP not spending on map control as you might in 1v1 and can allow axis to stop large pushes even in late game battles once the heavy AT tanks roll out making it hard if not impossible to push off axis.

TLDR: Reduce armor of Axis Bunker to same as USF fighting pos, reduce line of sight it is granted much light fighting pos, and give it similar costs.



Note: This post applies to both OKW and OST bunkers respectfully
