IL-2 Sturmovik call in airstrikes. 1.23

[Zerstörer]

There is no ability in the game more powerful than the IL2 attack runs. So yeah, its not as easily available now not as spammable.

[cephalos]

It's not stupid at all. You just have to plan whether you want weapon upgrades or to use the IL-2, just like the other armies. It's not like terror can just use a firestorm whenever they want.

yeah, right. but you can drop firestorm and you still have muni per minute to drop it once again, and again, and again... while soviets even without upgrades can't use it because they have this stupid upkeep!

[GodlikeDennis]

The upkeep isn't that much. Granted it's based around 1v1 balance most likely so big team games it might hurt you a bit more.

[cephalos]

I'm sure somebody has written this upkeep values before... I remember 8 mun/ minute for T-34... isn't that much - well, if you have at least 4 of them, 1 su-85, few tankhunters and infantry you soon will face lack of munition, while other factions players will have plenty munitions to spend and have full pop cap taken.

[GodlikeDennis]

I just had an awful game before.

2v2 on Kursk, ally complete and utter noob. Was single handedly pushing both enemies back into their base and IL-2 comes in and fucks everything up. Kills everything in 1-2 passes and leaves a Tiger on 5%. It's still a ridiculously powerful ability.

Not as bad as 1.11, that thing could stop a game changing tank assult.

I think that's exactly the oposite to GodlikeDennis is saying. Looks like that thing can stop it. I'm not used that ability yet, so I can't say nothing about it for now.

[GodlikeDennis]

It's a bit similar to sector artillery, in that the first strike is unavoidable so you have to get lucky and hope it misses. Those rocket runs are deadly.

[TacticalNuke]

Its great... if you can use it...

[Zerstörer]

Its cause the rocket damage wasn't modified like it should have been and they damage like bombs. They were supposed to be like Cali rockets....ahhh well...next patch.....

[Seeme]

I like it as it is

what is upkeep?

[GodlikeDennis]

Upkeep is a cost that deducts from your per minute income for every unit you have. It's a function that allows you to recreate your army again quickly if destroyed and allows for the epic comebacks we sometimes see in CoH. All units have a manpower upkeep but the Soviet Union also has a munitions upkeep on some of their advanced units to make up for the fact most of their abilities are free. Otherwise they'd be swimming in munitions and the whole map would be covered in mines.

I think this one is way to powerful. There is absolutely no way to escape it, or to destroy the incoming airplanes before they fire (if you have anti aircraft it will destroy the plane but it will be too little to late because the bombs will drop before you take down the plane). It can destroy multiple Panthers and even a Tiger tank. When you compare it with the Panzer Luftwafe airstrike or the American airstrike it is just to powerful and unreal.
