Hello there,
I've tried to use this ability to destroy a B-4 and I find out that unlike most ability of the same cost (namely the stuka dive bombe or Il-2 bombing strike which have the same cost), it is unable to destroy the arty, or at most really inconsistent.
Since it is one of the only 2 abilities able to do so for the OKW (the other one would be the Scavange tatics barrage, or maybe the Fortification Barrage but needs flares or consistent reco), Stuka barrage should be able to destroy Arty for its cost.
Thanks for your time. |

That's a lot of work and I agree for the most part and I just wanted to have a special thought for the Ace Tiger, an alien between heavies and super heavies, which struggle a bit in this patch. |
|
I believe that the lack of spotting for invisible units (namely the JLI) is what makes UKF unable to exploit it sniper versus OKW and therefore makes it a bad matchup. |
|
We could get rid of this ability if both sides would have access to self propeled gun. Otherwise CB is bad in 1vs1/2vs2, and easily counterable in greater gamemode like every static howitzer, so it is time to l2p. |
|
All heavies got shred 2 patch ago now, they are no longer pleasant to use but at least they don't dominate 1vs1 meta: RIP Ace Tiger |

Everything is in the title. I've tried with a vet3 comissar and it seems to not be able to recrew: no icon ect... I don't think it is intended (or I missed something) |

I confirm that the ability now have the same Vision area as the Smoke Bombs.
Now the (minor) problem is that for 5 more mun you have (for the same CP) the Smoke bombs which obviously does the same reco plus smokes, but more importantly, it has only 15s of CD (after the plane exit the map) against 75s for the Recon Pass.
I suggest just a slight cost reduction to 25 mun and a CD reduction to 30s. |

Hourrra! |

I know 3 other single pass recon:
50 mun Major recon: twice as slow and has a much wider recon area (cone shaped)
50 mun Airlanding Officer: twice as slow and has a much wider recon area (circle shaped)
40 mun Smoke Bombs: same flight speed but twice the recon area.
So for a 2CP Doc costing 35mun I find the Stuka recon pass from the close air support commander really underpowered.
This could be adress easily by either buffing it to be more in line with non-doc counterpart tied to Major/airlanding officer or just replacing it with Smoke Bombs which ironicly performs better as a recon.
This minor tweek should not cost to much time and is a good quality of life change for this commander. |
