Did AH nerf orbital precision strike damage recently?

[Dr. Jones]

I literally just landed a direct hit on a hulk bruiser, and it survived. Direct hit a shredder tank earlier, same thing. wtf!

Precision strike should one hit everything imo. It's not a guided munition and it has a very small area of effect. It should be like driving a nail into an enemy. A very big explosive nail fired from low orbit.

You're thinking of the railgun strike, for what it's worth.

It's an explosive shell, not an armor piercing one.

It also has quick cool down which is why anyone would take it at all. For raw damage it's obviously subpar as there's another stratagem that fires a whole barrage of them over a wide area, and another that moves forward.

No idea why people think the single shot version should be so amazing when 380 barrage and walking barrage are many shots from the same size cannon.

Probably. Devs love their stealth nerfs...

I know what I'm thinking of. Railgun strike is a guided throw away munition. Precision strike is not. Since precision strike is NOT guided it should hit with greater force to reward skilled use.
Either way, we are in agreement that it does not hit hard enough.

Nah man the p strike isn't a HE shell, because the blast radius on it is terrible. It's probably more like a HEAT shell.

Well, I'm just telling you what the description is. There are at least 3 stratagem that use the same 380mm shell, and this is the obvious weakest of those 3.

No, not really. It hits plenty hard for what it is and how fast it comes back up. You also get it at level 1 I believe. Railgun strike is the level 20 unlock in that category, so it really shouldn't be a worse version of the level 1 ability I don't think.

Don't backtrack and tell me that it hits plenty hard.

God I hate contrarians. People that argue for the sake of arguing are just idiots. You said it's subpar, but when someone agrees you can't have that, you have to disagree with someone. It's that stupid "well ackshully" reddit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

So yeah I'm now of the opinion that they DID indeed nerf the damage and or splash, even with max ship upgrades. I just had an Annihilator tank completely ignore a OPS right on top of the turret. no sparks, no nothing, zero signs of damage.
