Now that AB Elite's been properly nerfed it should finally be balanced. At least you can snipe the airborne with tanks again.

I bitched about airborne being OP before it was cool. Its still entirely ridiculous, though, so I applaud this effort. Especially asymmetric warfare.That is the most OP shit I've ever seen.

I think its worst even than the old-style air superiority (which was what, 5 recon runs, 3 strafes and 2 bombing runs?) because it gives a ridiculously huge amount of free "offmaps" AND instantly breaks suppression for any inf you need it to. Not to mention its free. Free. On a cooldown. Free. On a Cooldown.

Shit's ridiculous.

same can be said for.. hmmmmmmmmm   

Assault nades!!  you know, the one who start throwing like peyton manning as you run away.. ya, that was ridiculus.

[Illegal_Carrot]

But you pay for assault nades, and it's on a per unit basis. And it only threw grenades, not Bazookas or satchels. And it isn't broken to keep going forever.
And basically it isn't an I WIN button for every situation.

[Mgallun74]

pffffft, you pay for Airborne anyways... BARS are 95mun without suppress....  RRs are 180, they are high manpower and high cap value for your company..

the on T4 for airborne can go, its just stupid... but overlord is OP too? or what?

[AmPM]

Easy Company is a little over the top too, but its not as bad as AW.

I haven't even looked at Overlord.

[Mgallun74]

guess its Easy and AW that are the sticklers for people in AB doct... they already downed the hp in Easy.. AW can just go, its pure fantasy island shit...

[AmPM]

Yea, Easy Company should get some other stuff though besides HP. It's not so bad now that a tank can kill them though.

The Operational Mobility tree is actually fairly lackluster. I'd go as far as to say it's underpowered.
Aerial Advantage is near useless. Oversupplied is a good T2, but you only really benefit if you go a pure AB company. Airborne Overhead is pretty terrible for a T3 (honestly it should be combined with AA and kept as a T1), and Operation Overlord gives some nice buffs, but they only last for 45 seconds after the AB para drop in. The only permanent buffs OO gives are for the Sherman, for whatever reason.

Except you pay quite a bit for assault nades. You don't get them free on every squad. On a cooldown. For free. On EVERY squad. Even riflemen. The reason of course is that an ability like that would be blatantly OP. I mean, for one, Axis' best counter to AB are mg's (layered obv) but ASW gives EVERY SINGLE SQUAD a free way to instantly kill an hmg, no questions asked, regardless of suppression ect.

And we all know Airborne has the best AT in the game (RR's), so what does that leave axis to counter with? Counter blobs are naded to fuck, and tanks are RR'd. So yea, GG I guess?

if thats true illegal that T4 is horrible!

but, from how iam reading it..

all airdropped units get 25 damage buff, for ever, all time etc.

the 45 sec stuff has to do with airdropped units not being able to be suppressed for 45 after the drop.


so, can someone verify?
