Every arty has drift, Bombing and Strafing should as well.

They just eleminate vet everytime, 1 strafe erases whole squads evewn with 2 oswinds and a puma trying to protect the skies....

How do you have drift?  Make the plane go slightly lower/higher than you targeted it?  Not sure if strafe/bombing run should drift though because they are very precise and generally small AoE attacks.

That statement is completely circumstantial. I highly doubt that any single strafe in 007 has alpha striked a full health unit, regardless of the cover it is in.

edit- except snipers, because i have strafed snipers on many occasions.

Now if your talking about a 2 man storm squad running around at half health, well i dont think you can complain if a target like that gets strafed to death.


On another note, it is highly silly to give close air to ground support ordnance wind drift.

These planes arnt flying through hurricanes.

Best ever plane downing was a recon run shot by a wirblewind coming out of spawn-buff, then the plane crashed on the wirble(still in spawn buff) and put it to 5 HP Cheesy

Actually the one scout plane that got shot down from over half of the map by a Flakvierling and then proceeded to crash into my Vet 3 Hummel that was moving beats this easily Tongue .

Can we have Smoke for Strafing Run as well to warn that it is coming so you actually have little time to move out of the way?

yea infact if the strafe had a smoke than i dont believe it needs drift, the bombing run aint that strong and is Easily dodged due to its line of trajectory.

other than that its quite balanced.

Strafes and bombs with drift would be pretty useless but I don't see why strafe can't have a smoke

I'd be happy if the strafe would at least occur when the plane passes over the spot on the map instead of before the plane even comes on the minimap...

You can't stop a plane from doin a strafin run. It fires its strafe before it even gets on to the map and there is no way of stopping it. You can stop a planme from doin a bombing run though cos they don't drop there bombs until they r near thier target.

You know how useful a precision strike with drift is?
It should be renamed 'Dice roll' because its true purpose is defeated.

I agree wouldn't it be more constructive to buff precision strike instead of making another ability useless? Positive balancing makes the game more fun

Then make the plane slower, And i got strafed 3 times this war.  Ocne 8 men 2 full health stomrs down to 1 and both vet 2.  2nd time i got 4 men 3 from 1 and 1 from the other, and 1 died the 3rd.  , But the bombing run after whiel they are pinned is sure to come as well. 

The strafe already pinns for ever.  And i have 2 vet 3 ostwinds, it still comes on the field. 

Strafes were more ment for square maps where you would tiem totime to react... But currently there is no time. 

They are instant arty, Maybe m,ake the plane fly slightly slower. 

I just want a chance to get out tof the way, Not a way to escape it, btu if i see a plane i want a chance.

Making them fly slower won't help worth a damn.

Reduce the gun range(range from where the plane is to where it is shooting).
