Ostwind Minimum Range

Removing the minimum range would be a good idea!

Hi there,

i recently learned the hard way that the ostwind has a minimum range.
anyone else agreeing with me that changing that would be a nice QoL change?

There is honestly no reason why the Ostwind SHOULD have minimum range, same as the flak track. Very few if any other direct-fire combat units have minimum range.

These are features you know? It is just like the smoke of AEC must be some delay while the axis one doesn't. Or it is just like the weapon rack of USF while they can simply add two buttons on the squad to allow them to upgrade their desired weapon. There is no reason for them also, right?

Not a signle reason for that but you can bypass it by using ground attack (same for 251/17).

in that instance it had a damaged engine and a stuart drove up to it, so no, i couldn't

Very few if any other direct-fire combat units have minimum range.

i tested it immediately on the centaur, as it is a very similar unit and that one doesnt have it either.

very good to know, thnx!

It honesty I think most vehicles should have minimum range, it would give infantry a way to 'duke' out around the tank and if you went for a crush you cant fire at those units while you do it making it a trade off. Also it would require players micro their tanks better.

I feel heavy tanks must have this minimum range.
