What's the delay on this supposed to be after the smoke comes down? I've seen it pretty much come down instantly as soon as the smoke drops. Are infantry not supposed to be able to avoid this?

It's more destructive on some maps than on others. I doubt we altered its arrival time.

The reason why it comes instantly, like I said many times before, is because it has 500 bloody range.

On large maps it takes ages to hit. on small maps and at the right angle it's pretty much instant

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Reducing range also reduces number of shots fired. It's not that simple.

+ the .50cals' angle was changed some vcoh patches ago. so ur units die before u can see the plane |

It just seems more powerful on smaller maps cause of less travel time, and thus warning.

That IST only had 80 I believe. I expected them to take dmg Draken, I never played vCoH so I know nothing about the strafing run so I was just trying to figure out what exactly the attack time was after the smoke dropped. Because it instantly hit both the grens and the later Panda's KCH. Also the strafing run has no FF?

i dont care if it comes down fast, but since it does, you are unable to dodge it and it should not instakill all your inf. (exept for if they are on a road) these storms were in heavy/light cover while standing still and had close to full hp: http://www.xfire.com/video/2cde4b/strafle run is a t2 right? compare it with precision strike: http://www.xfire.com/video/2c2f11/precision strike cannot 1 hit units, and it takes a lot longer to arrive since you cannot choose the angle yourself.(it takes the longest path i think) |

Its fine the way it is, red smoke is dropped boohoo if a few of your units get killed. And Leo that was really lucky that it happened to be like that. And yeah we had this discussion like a year ago and they added red smoke. |

Unlike every other ability in the game, which if you have good micro and attentiveness you can dodge, strafing run just kills them instantly. |
