it might be a t1, but it's not even possible to have it take out one support weapon.

the change to a firestorm rocket is a good change i believe, but it has also made it alot more useless.
it is too clear arty is inc and where, it also takes way too long for the rocket to arrive.


i suggest:

no more red smoke blob (stop people from using it as fake arty)
instead you hear a nebel or a stuka rocket sound when its used, the rocket itself will land after that very shortly and it is VERY accurate.
this sound will alert the enemy that the rocket is inbound, so they can try to move their unit out of the way. (but which unit?)

if the enemy fails to get it away in time, the infantry will die (vet retreats) and it is time for BLITZKRIEG ASSAULT (the enemy is missing an atg or a hmg)

if you dont charge in after the rocket, the enemy can simply reman the weapon with a cheap riflesquad and you have wasted your t1.

I always hated the red smoke, the only way of a good hit in coh is mostly when your enemy doesn't watch that area.

Honestly, this thing needs a buff. Maybye making in somehow comparable to the SE scorched earth arty ability? Such as, maybye, 1 howie shot, with exact precision, that drop instanly but only kills atg and emplacements (mg and such) but does not dommage tanks or inf?

It needs to kill crews and infantry and leave the weapon, having it one shot destroy ATGs or howitzers is just silly.

in my eyes it would be enough to decrease the time between smoke and hitting round..

no, not at all.

it also has drift what makes it basically useless since  it wont even hit anything if the enemy doesnt move.

and the smoke can be abused by players to make it look like a big arty strike.
that type of arty doesnt fit with blitzkrieg.

And I'm telling you it did.  When the old one used to one-shot a howitzer there was a huge discussion why a T1 offmap could wipe out a T1 arty piece that cost resources.

It NEVER one-shot howitzers, lionel - it had 200 damage.

The discussion was sparked when demon and another one of his blitz friends(computer?) used DOUBLE precision strikes to insta-gib howitzers, which was misinterpreted by someone(I do believe it was you) as using just 1.
