Demo charges

Why do they only decrew and not kill LEFH guns?

Because arty pieces have OHK protection if they are crewed and explosive hits them to prevent stuka instawiping that considerable investment primarily.

As far as I know those 200 mun offmaps destroy a heavy howitzer instantly.

Multiple shots, one decrews, following kill.

So kill the crew then detonate and that will 1 hit? I am sure I've dont that before and it hasnt killed the weapon.

Paratrooper demos used to not be able to 1-shot LEFHs even when decrewed from full HP. I assume this is the same issue it was just only applied to paratroopers and not commandos (who I assume you're talking about).

If commando demos aren't on CD though when they drop from glider or infiltrate they should be.

Most call-in abilities insta-kill e.g. Gustav. The only reason to use it.

But demo-charge? For that price and building-speed? Sure you have to be there, but insta-kill? That would be too much.

Having to be there is a huge deal. Having an expensive squad like 100m behind enemy lines in the lategame, even with camouflage, is no small feat and a decent risk and then you have to actually lay the demo in full sight of the enemy, and then successfully hide or retreat to avoid losing a nearly 400mp squad in exchange. If that's easily done then there was an issue with where the LefH was placed, especially when one out of two axis factions have access to a free super-bofors as their T4 building.

I don't see it like that, very few player repair their support weaopons. Hit it with something and the demo with insta-kill it. Or simpler -> You know how to do it? Put the mine, then shoot the crew and then wait, your enemy can't do anything. It is trolling, a joke ability I am fine with. Simply use it right and it is OP, even without a win-button.



Making it a fuk would be more than OP for such an easy ablity. The logic of that is like Sturmtruppen can't mine a flagg if not connected, or Goliath is an easy-kill by small-armes.

What? You do realise that to actually get a demo charge onto an LEFH can be no easy task right? Its a hell of a lot easier to 1 click with abilities. The only thing I would say is broken is that mandos demos are not on CD with glider drop, but its not exactly subtle and the planting time isnt instant.

Goliath should 1hk arty pieces too including Preists and Sextons (Which I think it does anyway?)...

Normally you see no protectors for Artys, maybe the OKW-base. With luck you can set the bomb with ease. You can kill the crew is secounds with gun-fire, decrewed supportweapon will be a fuk. I can't see the problem.

Goliath is better, because it is way more difficult to use it. And for that it is still UP versus vehicles. But that is an other story.
