Title: ME-163 base restriction
Post by: RipRap on January 16, 2014, 07:27:57 PM
Why is the Komet only available at certain bases? It costs fewer perks to fly than the 262, but you can't fly it unless you are intercepting strat raiders.

Just curious

It is supposed to be to protect the HQ.  Unfortunately it also protects the strats on many maps, pretty much making strat raids pointless.

As to why, because of how ridiculously potent it is.  Climb rate is something like 16,000 or 18,000ft per minute and it turns like an A6M.
