Is this thing not affected by drift? And is it suppose to just instant destroy any infantry manned equipment?
Not complaining too much, but its sad when I lose 3 howitzers to 3 precision strikes in the first 10 minutes of the game. A decrew I could understand but the entire damn thing being blown up? That's pretty powerful that a 3 use (why is it 3 uses? Arty should be capped at 2) T1 Blitz ability that can neutralize a T1 US Infantry ability that makes you pay 380 MP and 140 FU and eats up 8 pop.
Also a minor aside, can howitzer crews be given a 'retreat' toggle? I'm glad they now 'run' like normal men but having a stuck crew eating up pop sucks.

Precision strike probably shouldn't be able to outright destroy the actual weapon of the howie. If it does, that might need changing..

It doesn't normally, and it is affected by drift. Just less than other off maps.

What's the problem with that? Both are T1s as you stated. Why shouldn't they be able to negate themselves?

Well it's not so much the negating thing but when as allies you have to pay for something decent thats not a weak US mortar, and the off-maps you get 1 free use plus 2 additionals, I thought it was decided all offensive offmaps were limited to 2, such as strafing, bombing, etc and non-offense (direct attacks) like AP rounds and recon runs could be higher.

Yes 2 Blitz players with 4 very lucky precisions....VERY VERY lucky...
And the 1st one was destroyed by a PUMA.
(Mind you we used 2 precision strikes per howie)

Precision strike is retarded and should be removed. No other artillery lets you kill a weapon team before it can pack up and retreat even if they retreat before the smoke drops.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

[/b] Whut? Exactly what I said. Someone used precision strike on one of my mortars. I hear the "incoming artillery get down" and hit the ungarrison button before the smoke even dropped. The precision strike round still came down before my mortar crew could retreat and they died. That, to me, is 100% bullshit. No other offmap kills infantry before they could retreat. |

actually, that was probably the smoke bug that happens in vcoh ALL THE FUCKING TIME, were if u wernt looking at the smoke when it was dropped and then hear it and scroll over, theres a chance you wont see it, or a chance you will, mostly you wont.

According to the doctrine map on Blitz, Blitz can buy a total of 3 precision strikes as a T1. So 4 Blitz players = 12 precision strikes possibly. Is that correct or is the doctrine map wrong?
And for your info, I lost 3 howitzers, not 2 in that game.

Why is Precision Strike T1? I mean in my opinion, the US Infantry offmap is a T2 and is no more effective then the Precision Strike. The first shot is all that matters since after that, the units are either dead or retreating.

Ahh so the chart is wrong, okay that's not an issue then too much, but I agree with Berserker the first shot is really all that matters, if someone stays in an area to be hit by the additional 5-6 shells, then its their fault for not paying attention. For an instant weapon killing thing that can wipe out things just as the smoke lands sometimes, the US off-map seems very weak compared to the Precision strike.
Perhaps if the off-map for US was changed to the spawn arty?
