Rather than perk the Osty... they oughta fix the Panzer. It's gun is near worthless against buildings.

So, a peace breaks out over the board, and harmony reigns.  :)

I do agree there is a problem with the Ostie, or maybe I should say there is a problem with the Panzer.  I cannot understand why an Ostie round does more damage to a Panzer than an AP round from another Panzer.

Regarding perking the ostie, I wouldnt mind as long as it isnt too high in cost.  I do think the Ostie may be too immune to damage sometimes, but would have to study it and drive it more often to be able to say with conviction.

Time to move on to another subject, glad things cooled down.

I would like the Osty perked.  The Osty simply performs too well and fills too many functions.  The other attack ground vehicles are not really useful, in the game, by comparison.

If you want to attack anything on the ground use the Osty.  It is darn sure the best G2A vehicle by a tremendous margin.  

The one vehicle does everything profile of the Osty reminds me of what was once the plane that does everything profile of the F4U-1C.  When the F4U-1C got perked other planes filled in the gap and the game got funner.

IMO 5-10 perks per use would be sufficient.

I have problems to understand some discourses. :confused:

Because an osti shoot down you, you must fly low.

If you fly low he is because:

a) You are in take-off
b) You are vulching a field
c) You are attaching a GV

I would want so much understand:
 
in the a case)  what do you change, if to shoot down you is it an airplane instead that an osti?

in the b case) where is the ability of pilotage in the kill airplanes that are in take-off and could not they defend?

in the c case) you mistake manoeuvre or you don't use an efficient tactic, perhaps a period in TA to learn the attack to the GVs is advisable.


The new grounds already create not few problems to the GVs, they are full of obstacles that prevent to the GV of maneuver, but they are useless for take refuge from the aerial attacks, any hills are too steep and could not be scaled with l'M16 or with l'M3 or l'M8, only the Pzr and the Osti are able to cross it.

The dispersion of the gun of the osti is ashamed if compared to that of many fighter.

But that do you want? what the GV could not they defend or could not they defend a field?

Is the arena full of obstacles for the GVs, frisia horses, trees, holes, rock, there provided that them could not they maneuver nimbly for avoid the bombs and that could not they hide in the vegetation?

Why don't you ask to HT of put locks and disarmed GVs scattered in arena?

As the heroic vulchers could enjoy without run risks.

But to you, cost so much take a bomb and learn to drop it on a GV?

"[the idiots that are incapable of killing a plane in another plane to get kills. "

Yeeessssss !!!! he is true !!!! kill an airplane while take off is a radiant example of big ability. ROTFL !

Guy, you are pathetic :(

PERK THE C47!!

It can outrun both the LVT and M3 and it can climb hills better AND travel over water!

Ya know, if you guys would just gangbang the Ostys like you do planes in the MA there would be absolutly no problem :D

Attacking from the top and shooting into the gunner position is a sure way to disable the Osty in one pass...verticle shooting in an Osty is the most difficult shot to make...use that weakness and you'll have no problem.

Fix the panzer HE, reduce the effectiveness of the Osty's gun vs objects and armor then there's no need to perk the Osty.
