Just played a game where I found out the hard way that bofors does NOTHING to infantry. Pios took almost no damage, sappers did more damage than the bofors. Couldnt even kill a single fall with 10% health. When did this happen? What is the point of a stationary unit that can only kill LVs? I could of sworn they used to do decent damage to infantry.

[brn4meplz]

The Bofors shreds infantry. At range. As soon as those infantry get into short range the Bofors has balls terrible accuracy modifiers.

All a player has to do is eat a cooldown cycle with the front of a tank and run his infantry in your face.

[Demon767]

ok.

[jackmccrack]

Demon this is legitimate.

Look, maybe they timed a push, like brn4meplz just said.

But whenever I'm wehr or PE, and a bofors pops up, I'm like "oh god, time to hide my infantry and bring out a mortar"

Seems to me my grens squad get cut a bit before coming into range of a Bofors. You've got to have a distraction if you want to take it head on, and indirect fire or tanks are always best.

TRUTH, i have been having a interesting time with the bofors as for as i can tell it was meant for the following.

[IJustDontCare]

I Use bofors all the time. I've never had issues with them against infantry. You're obviously doing it wrong.

[DarkSoldierX]

Bofors can put some hurt on stugs ffs lol.

[EliteGren]

Were the infantry close to the bofors?

[RikiRude]

the inf were close to the bofors at a point, I did not know about the horrid close accuracy, simply because I've never seen inf be capable of getting that close, esp pios. They should of been torn to shreds before getting that close.

Why would it get modifiers like that up close? What other unit, especially one that's stationary need a nerf like that? It's already incredibly easy to destroy.

But thanks for letting me know, now I know how to keep an eye on my bofors.

[Hicks58]

Bofors have a 0.2 accuracy modifier against infantry, and a 0.5 moving accuracy modifier.

However, their accuracy is 1 at close range, 1.5 at medium range and 5 at long range. Long range is 25-45.

Accuracy modifiers taken into account, if the infantry sit still the Bofors has perfect accuracy. If they move, it's 50% accuracy.

If they get closer than 25 range though (10-25 is medium) then it's 30% accuracy, 15% if they move. At close range, 20% if they sit there, 10% if they move.

Yeah, Bofors is your emplaced infantry sniper... If your worried about close range, get an MG nest which will tear them up.

This is why the HT with Bofors/twin .50cal's is so brutal. If you get close, the .50cal's shred you, if you stay at range, the Bofors picks you apart.

Collosus has a vetted bofors that eats anything with feet sent at it.

BOFORS CANT  penetrate hotchkiss from front. please look into it.

[Demon767]

BOFORS CANT  penetrate hotchkiss from front. please look into it.

Obviously, it has HE rounds on bofors. not meant to be used for flack against aircraft or infantry.

Funny, as soon as something doesnt penetrate a PE vehicle, shit doesnt feel right!

[DarkSoldierX]

BOFORS CANT  penetrate hotchkiss from front. please look into it.

And that makes it underpowered?

Yeah, that seems a bit weird, it's a 40mm canon, it should be able penetrate light vehicles, a Pak 36 can.

pak 36 is meant to counter light vehicles. And did I mention its underpowered?

Obviously, it has HE rounds on bofors. not meant to be used for flack against aircraft or infantry.

Funny, as soon as something doesnt penetrate a PE vehicle, shit doesnt feel right!

Well.... I am not sure I would call it HE rounds.... it goes by the same hit vehicle become AP hit ground explode type shit. And its splash is near irrelevent.

But that doesn't mean it should be insta pwning light tanks like the hotch.
