[1.04] IL-2 ability

[thliaw]

Ya, agree, the IL2 ability is too strong, i experience this few times where 2 groups of my vet3 wehrmacht never survived the IL2 attack.

Like the HS129 run, if you get out of the radius of the mark of the ability, you won't get strafed.

If you blob, and I've seen shit loads of people use Vet blob vs soviets and you should be punished for it.

Hell, I've seen 3 Vet3 KC squads run around the battlefield pawning all soviet infantry and then Faust a couple of T34s to death before being forced to hit retreat

I don't believe this.  The slow ability and the grenades the guards get with the upgrade are maddog, and so are those ppsh engies....and who lets their T34s get fausted to death....I can understand you lose a vehicle or 2 at most to shrecks from fighting with grens, but seriously...fausted to death?  Unless its some kind of late game noob 4v4 what kind of idiot would waste their munis like that ...the idiot on the other side must be an even bigger noob to rts who never knew how to spell the word "kite".

i would not say soviets are underpowered at this moment.

and his is again, talking about IL-2 ability, NOT how the other soviet units or abilities.

it seems like an overpowered ability, and can be used so easily. again, i think it needs a small nerf with the strafe, because it seems to be more for killing the German tanks.

But, Vet3 Germans ARE that strong, and KCs no less.

Slow down ability is gone next patch...but don' give me rubish about the PPS Sturmovie when compared to MP44 squads and KCs or infact other Assault troops. The two grenades on the Guards are less damaging than 1 US nade and barely scratches vetted troops...hardly insane...
Lets not even mention what LMG42 grens do to soviet infantry...
Everyone knows how to kite but even the top 10 Seb,12azor etc will always have their vehicles fausted/sticked in a game, that's the way it is, none of that 'noob learn how to kite stuff'. 

Anyways, this isn't about the above its about the IL2 ability which may need further nerfing...we'll see

This sounds very very good for me.
The mod team is still showing us that they can balance this mod.

This was suggested by a lot of ppl already, im really happy now that you did something about that.

but now .. hmhm im wondering about ya' solution.
Let us know

There is no ability that is more powerful than IS-2. It can target vehicles and infantry. There is no way to defend from it even if you have multiple anti aircraft units. I think it should be at least a bit weaker against infantry because one run can destroy multiple units no matter their veterancy or numbers.

Dude... did you see that the last post was in march and the topic was about 1.04 patch? If you want to discuss the balance of that ability create a new topic instead of reviving an old one.

Let the old threads rest in peace.

EDIT: My mistake it already exists.
