Are Orks UNDERPOWERED since patch 1.15e?

    Honestly Orks are really fine for me but if you are losing games.. well you gotta learn Team Coordination
    DLB are actually tough nut to fight against as LSM and they usually win against randoms

    Team Coordination is everything in this game so get the point as a LSM i really can tell you that honestly.

    Been playing Orks a few hours. Seems like it's the players themselves not using vehicles correctly. I'm not sure why but on Agnathio the CSM managed to push the Ork spawn with 3 predators. Orks apparently just wanted to spawn as foot soldiers and die en masse.

    Orks AV isn't exactly as strong as other races.

    Orks also can't counter meltas since our vehicles are kinda squishy from the back you don't even need a melta to take out our trukks just a single melta cycle.

    They probably had all of their vehicles killed right off the bat on that map like normal and got stuck spawning as nothing but food troops. Every time I'm on that map I know our trukks get destroyed right off the bat by meltas/fusion guns and then our tanks follow shortly after so we're stuck hoofing it from spawn.

    As far as tank camping it happens a fair bit as the zzap gun and kannon take forever to shoot just like for the rest of the races so taking them out is a challenge especially if you can't shoot them from the back it's very easy for the vehicle player or players to just pick off the ork as he attempts to get off a shot.

    Because using an ork tank is usually a death sentence. Plus the sponson gun firing arcs make crewing it a pain while the main gun is hard to hit infintry with due to worse accuracy. Add in a tank that does 180° spins everytime it touches something and you have a vehicle no one really wants to use.

    Soon meltas av damage will be nerfed. That's what I'm really waiting for.

    Emphasis mine. Seems appropriate to the situation.

    The times I've lost most to Orks is when we haven't controlled their vehicles.

    I kept spawning as the tanks and killing a predator or two for every tank I lost. There were tons of tanks left, just nobody spawned them.

    Melta+Metla bomb combo is the reason you have so few orks pulling vehicles.

    Not an excuse when CSM was literally spawncamping us because everyone else refused to pull vehicles out.

    We had something ridiculous like 6 tanks ready to go.

    And what do CSM have? *Gasp!* Meltas + Metla bombs! Gee i wonder why the orks didn't pull tanks/trukks into the fray. Surely no chaos marine would be smart enough to pull their AT loadout after a death and rake up easy vehicle kills with it.

    My question is why didn't you pull the tanks out if there were so many ready to go?
