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

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 .

How bout my wirble that i was testing shooting down an enemy recon plane, only to insta hit the plane with first shot, making the plane fall at Nightrains vet 3 nebelwerfer crew that was  MOVING towards the battlefield, killing the whole crew?

Not mentioning that it got rolled back..

wait what?? you have been strafed three times in like the last 2-3 weeks and you are compaining? im sorry but that doesnt seem to really be a good statistic for nerfing something, I mean its 5 seconds of a game when a strafe comes in, i think this objection needs more information, the suggestion that precission strike recieve a buff sounds ok to me personally

[Demon767]

Airborne dont have doctrine specific Anti Infatry, so the strafe imo makes up for that, bombing run aint that good anyways imo. it just needs a smoke possibly or of course it shoots when the plane is nere.

blobs= strafe targets, if you use them be prepared for the concequinces btw i dont think i have an AB account right now....have alot of accounts cause I like to switch it up buttttt the point im trying to make is I dont feel strafes are OP I agree with demon that they are a major part of AB, and that i am not an AB fanboy because I dont even have an AB account and I almost only play wher, because I hate fighting stormies.


scratch that I found an AB account of mine, im gonna look at it, but i still dont see it as a problem

All off map artillery strikes have been nerfed with drift.... the only reason why strafes and bombing runs weren't affected by it *yet*, it's because is a bit more complicated..

[VERTIGGO]

I have to say I've never been instagibbed by strafe in EIRR. I have lost 50-75% of several squads, but never lost a full squad. That's an improvement over some old memories...

However, it is true that most of our maps are narrow, and the strafe is absolutely inescapable in its current form. I think the damage is fine, but just like the v1, it needs a bit more "oh crap" time so alert players at least have a chance.

I also agree that the imprecise strike needs to be replaced with "volksgrenadier shovels" or some other more useful ability if its never going to be made viable as an offmap.

just give it red smoke..everything has red smoke, why not the strafe?

[Demon767]

yea replace precision strike with the german equivalent of the stickybomb

I like this part, cause obviously AB Rifles w/ BAR and nade dont work, AB snipers dont work, AB HMG and Mortar? Etc.
