Sometimes I have 30-50 kills with it and another time only 10 but yea, it's powerful.
From today I'm playing 1v1 as OKW and I face guy who had 2 or maybe 3 of them. It was pain in the ass for me but while taking points I was moving units all the time so it did not hurt so bad but yea, I needed Stuka to counter it. |
It's not about Jackson. It's about Stuka. Why PzWerfer and katy have 160hp and Stuka has 320?
I would love to see penetration 260-240-220 and 160dmg or 240-220-200 and 200dmg.
Less rng. |
no. the problem lies between your chair and the screen.
L2P advice from someone who does not show card or any replay.. come on..
Worst medium tank, worst tank destroyer, no stock late-game infantry, useless su-76, unused M5. Only Snipers are powerful. M3 and Penals as well but only at the beginning.
On the other hand we have Luchs, Obers, Panther, Stuka, Puma, Flak truck... All of them are very powerful. |
I would pick up FG42 with Cons any time and this would be very noticeable. Same for MP44.
What about G43? |
You forgot flamethrowers.
My bad.
Any American weapon picked up at the racks can be dropped up.
Do you really want every squad to turn into the pinata that is the Guard squad every time they are shot? By increasing the number of dropped weapons you effectively make each unit a yard sale whenever they die.
I don't think that BARs can be dropped, at least I never saw anything like that, lmg yest, but bar?
I'm just curious why LMGs and AT weapons can be dropped while SMGs can't be dropped. I think allies players would be happy to pick up FG42, same for axis players when see for example 2 thomppsons from Paras.
Samr for MP44.
Those are very special weapons, they are not mosins etc. |
I just wonder why only some weapons can be dropped?
LMGs
Schrecks PTRS
But what about Ppsh, FG42, Thompsons, BARs or Pathfinder's Rifle?
Why only LMGs can be dropped? |
This is too much for me... OKW is starving fuel? Good one...
I destroyed med truck, 2x flakbase (he still built third one).
From first flakbase he took out Luchs and Panther, I killed both.
At the time before he built third flakbase, he had only 1 blob.
No vehicles, no med, nothing, just one blob going around the map.
3 obers, 2 panzerfusi, 3 volks, 1 raketen, 2 stolen 57mm.
Unstopable!
I killed Panther, Luchs, med truck, 2x flak truck and he still was able to make third one and call another Panther!
Shermans were useless, they were dying in a seconds after shot, pack howie useless because of obers (which I could not stop with Sherman because of AT and Volks).
So huge effort to kill trucks, Luchs and Panther and still one huge blob of infantry can counter everything I had. |
Yes it works nice but I find it rather cheesy and dont like to use it too often wish they would nerf the ability and make the M8 itself useful.....
To be honest, I think Greyhound with this ability is right now the only allied light vehicle, that can achieve similar amount of kills like Luchs.
Stuart or T70 with 30+ kills? I don;t think so...
Luchs? No problem.
Greyhound is a more fragile, needs tons of ammo and it's little harder to get such many kills. |
This isn't quite true, other armies also had combat engineering units due to the fact that engineering was often needed before you could bring the rest of the army in. For example, the Soviets had Assault Engineers (shturmovykh inzhenery) who were supposed to clear fortifications. They're in-game as Shock Troops, although they lack any engineering ability (to be accurate they should have a flamethrower upgrade as well as satchel or demo charges).
Great! So Relic, please make Shocks non-doc from base building, give them abilities to build stuff etc
Oh.. I forgot... Shocks are not axis units |
What do you think about Recon doctrine? I just literally smacked OKW player with Greyhound (35kills) and Pathfinder's barrage - took down 3 trucks. Such tactic needs tons of ammo but I think it's pretty nice. What do you think? |
