Well the Ost Railway Artillery is really shit,wasting 200 munitions but killing nothing...Even with the worst action, you can escape from this...

When I played against the Brits,I noticed there's a brits artillery ability just like the Railway shells,I don't know its name,but the shells come really much faster after warning smoke,and more shells than the Ost Railway arts,is this a brits commander ability?

So Relic if you made so many effective brits bombs and artillery abilities ,pls rework the ost Railway artillery to bring it in line with the brits. It cost 200 munitions, it should do something instead of being laughed at...

Agreed. I was watching a game tonight and noticed that team weapons can't escape the first shell from the brit one unless immediately retreated (like you have to see the flare falling).

Brit 1 prob needs a slight nerf, and ost 1 needs a buff.

Dear fellas, the railway arty is not for hitting moving targets. Use it at what was designed for.

Railway received huge buff recently in terms of AoE so it's no more killing stuff in the middle of explosion but also everything around.

Working vs emplacements and immobile/heavy engine damage tanks.

Tho still it is very very slow.

What's more, I dont own this brits commander so no idea how it's working but first railway shell will land directly in the middle (wonder with this brits also?) so you can bring down with it howies.

The first shell lands very close to the center, It costs 250 munitions, More shells come down,
And can be used without vision on the target. In addition the first shell lands extremely fast.

From what i can tell each shell does about the same damage as a railway shell.

So strictly speaking its superior to railway.

With all the whine about Air supremacy going around i am surprised this one is not right up there.
As this will kill a truck 100% of the time.

With this combined with AS or just simply glider crushing, OKW just feels like they need to place their trucks in the base, And thats stupid.

Well if it's like you are saying... But again, I don't own it, so I cannot test its power.

But still, I was asking for railway buff here for ages as well on Alpha brits and finally it was buffed but in the easiet way to go. I would rather see railway without red smoke but with long shell teavel time (check) and loud long sound (check) to bring it with line with dive bomb.

Long time, loud sound and red flares mean it will hit absolutely nothing.

But of this brits can be fired into FoW, Im waiting for Railway to do same thing :megusta:

From my experience with it, It is a for sure way to erase something that you need to erase if its stationary. It will do more damage in a small area than Air Supremacy. Its a good way to catch a
repairing tank in the back-line if you know were it is and kill the truck to boot.

It seems all brits bombs and artillery abilities are powerful and effective...Every single commander has one effective offmap ability at least.Just unfair for the vanilla soviet and ost factions...

IMO they should rework all ost and soviet offmap abilities.

Thx for the details."Can be used without vision on the target " This is really unfair...

Relic should bring them in line.

Which has a sound warning and you can get away from it if you move fast. I am 90% of the time able to dodge it. Most of the time, you will first see a recon run before the stuka comes.

If you have no indication that an off map ability is comming, you can never get away from it in time. It makes no sense to not give a warning for such a powerful ability. On top of this, it comes so quickly you can't evade the concentrated barrage.
