Title: Drift
Post by: RikiRude on April 18, 2011, 03:23:28 pm
Is there still drift with off map arty? Is it even necessary to still have it with arty so restricted now? And if it's still in,l where does it usually drift to?

Yes, definitely, and I think it's within like 15 range or something? Not sure exactly.

Drift is definitely still necessary. And even with drift - off maps still have the power to be uber devastating. My V1s drift. Sometimes it drifts right into squads that were moving after hearing the V1 sound, and sometimes it doesn't hit shit. It's still a good investment for a T2.

just dont expect it to take out arty anymore...in all games MAYBE few times it took arty on first hit. but I use it,since I have no use from other choices...

yet an on map that can be used multiple times is capable of two shotting arty (hummel)

I don't see the problem with drift, half the time the artillery strike I call in drifts towards the opponent like Malgoroth mentioned. It adds a random and slightly realistic feel to it, as V1s didn't just drop out of the sky at the precise location they were intended to hit.

I havent used offmaps at all, mostly because of what I've seen from drift. Vcoh taught you (everyone in general) that as soon as flares drop, gtfo. IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. No blob evacuations, thats like saying 'NUKE HERE!!'. If you split up, you lose 1, 1 1/2 squads max. If not...oh well, pretty fireworks. I also prefer onmap arty because it's reuseable and makes great bait (mines, hidden ATGs, you get the picture).
