    Ooooooookay! This is much better! (I think!)
    While Flak is not the brightest, he was still a bit funny at times and also provided a bit of challenge. Barbaric Blow was...eh. Compared to Black Storm and Prime Tactics, it doesn't seem so bad. It still packs quite a punch though, watch out.
    So although Flak isn't my favorite CO, he's alright. I'm sure many people are fans of the dude, so that's great. All characters need to get some love.

      Something you'll like about the Switch remake of Advance Wars, is not only does Flak have a pretty good remixed theme (one that shits all over the DS version), and not only do their themes change during their attack phases (getting quieter with marching drums) and when they pop their powers (picking up in tempo), but their themes don't "reset" each turn: it's like someone hits pause on their soundtrack when their turn ends, and it picks right up from there next turn.

    I do love how flaks theme is so brutish and out of control, it constantly changes and is madly erratic. It fits his impulsive, aggressive and thoughtless strategy and personality greatly. Also mirroring his erratic day to day and power where you just throw troops at the enemy and hope you land a big hit.

  • @kingofthemoon3063

    I always thought that Flak should've played like Grimm does in Dual strike. A slight boost to power at the cost of poor defense seems more appropriate for a guy like flak than a damage roulette.
    Although it is very funny when a strategy suddenly gets derailed because he killed a Md. Tank with a recon or some nonsense like that.

    • @yoshifan2334

      I mean in all fairness he IS the first black hole CO so he should be the weakest (and making him AW1 sturm would be a bit much ythink?). Also in line with his name, flak cannons aren't exactly known for their accuracy, since they're main purpose is "i don't have to aim if I just vomit a million projectiles at the other guy right?" and that unpredictability is reflected in flak's random damage rolls.
      Also sorry for necroing this I just had to point it out

      Flak's base skill should focus on high firepower (120-130%, but only with direct-fire units - indirects with this buff would be nuts) while having horrendous counterstrike damage (perhaps between a 30-40% penalty). It would encourage players who use him to be as aggressive as possible, which is quite befitting for his aggressive and "smash first, think later" attitude.

    Whenever you think about how Andy doesn't know what units to use to Capture with, what an airport is, or what a continent is, remember that there's always someone who's even more of an idiot.
    Case in point, Flak can't even use a simple microphone, even though all you technically have to do is speak into it after it's set up.
    Although in his defense, apparently, he knows how to get Naval Units, such as Battleships into lakes with no ports...Granted I like to think that that would be due to unnatural human strength.

The reason why he's so bad is cause the game rolls for good luck first then it rolls for bad luck and takes that away from the good luck. Flak has a value of 20/15 if I remember, so most of the time you're rolling around 0% so he's actually more average than even Andy cause even he has 10% good luck. It's even funnier when you realize it applies to his powers as well
      Jugger is Flak done somewhat right cause he has a bigger range meaning you're actually likely to see some kind of effect instead of your rolls virtually canceling each other out. Sonja is in the same boat too as Flak but her luck can completely cancel each other out but she has other day-to-day powers to make up for it

    I don't really think that Flak really is a bad CO - probably worse than most other COs in the game, but at least he isn't completely overpowered. He's a bit like the Green Earth COs - his day2day-power isn't very good, but if you play a bit with his COP or SCOP and manage to time their use right, he might turn out to be a beast on the battlefield. Or not. It's up to IntSys RNG, so basically everything could happen.

    • @ExecutiveSonda
      @ExecutiveSonda 7 років тому +4

      My problem with Flak is that his powers are so unreliable. Other co's, you get what you get, but Flak has a chance of fucking up his attacks which makes him a wild cannon.

    • @comridleyw9679
      @comridleyw9679 7 років тому +3

      Executive Sonda That's true, and that's why Flak is considered one of the worst COs. But I think Flaks random attacks are also something that makes matches with him really enjoyable (at least in AW2, not in DS where every CO has +10 luck without any downsides...). He might get his "Flak-attacks" and completely demolish units he usually couldn't touch, but still has the risk to fuck up matchups that would have been save for any other CO. It's just more satisfying killing a Md tank using infantry with Flak cause you know you took a risk and the odds were in your favour (at least for *this* time) - and even if your opponent uses Flak and his powers, you still got the hope that he might get reduced firepower, making Flaks SCOP thrilling and entertaining for both sides. So he's one of the rare COs that are fun to play with and fun to play against, and I think that really is a thing that should be honored.*Go Flak!*

    They could have given him a much better d2d bonus and COP and SCOP.
    His d2d bonus should be a bonus of +20% attack and defense, but he is incapable of using any terrain advantage( He is a brute after all).
    His CO increases his attack power by 10%(it's supposed to be boring, he is a brute after all).
    His SCOP powers take away his 20% defense bonus and adds it to his attack bonus

    • @Teknanam
      @Teknanam 3 роки тому +1

      I don't mind Flak's gimmick. He's supposed to be such a brainless brute that he throws high firepower in a direction with little regard if he's actually hitting his targets. The issue is the bad luck he has undermines his good luck too hard. Nell has the same good luck gimmick, but without the bad luck and her good luck potential is higher than Flak's. Meaning Flak is a worse Nell. You would think he'd be a character with better good luck potential than Nell at the cost of getting bad luck engagements, but thats just not how he was designed and it sucks, leading to him being the worse CO.

    The worst thing about Flak isn't that he's inconsistent, it's that he's actually a 100% co most of the time. His good and bad luck are two separate rolls that tend to cancel each other out. On top of that he has a mediocre set of powers he's just really underwhelming outside of his theme and co power songs which slap super hard

    • @Wintd1

      I'm sure they designed him to be bad on purpose since he's the first CO you go up against in AW2's campaign. When it comes down to it, he's just a shitty version of Nell. He's someone that you either play for this theme tune, or because you want to play with a handicap.

    I always thought that Flak should've played like Grimm does in Dual strike. A slight boost to power at the cost of poor defense seems more appropriate for a guy like flak than a damage roulette.
    Although it is very funny when a strategy suddenly gets derailed because he killed a Md. Tank with a recon or some nonsense like that.

    I always enjoyed fighting against Flak, he was one of the few CO's in the game that felt fair even when using his powers and was even fun to play as, sure sometimes your troops did little damage to something they should well of beaten, but other times (mainly with the super power) that group of small tanks could suddenly rip a neo tank unit to pieces, fun risk vs reward system!

    Whenever you think about how Andy doesn't know what units to use to Capture with, what an airport is, or what a continent is, remember that there's always someone who's even more of an idiot.
    Case in point, Flak can't even use a simple microphone, even though all you technically have to do is speak into it after it's set up.
    Although in his defense, apparently, he knows how to get Naval Units, such as Battleships into lakes with no ports...Granted I like to think that that would be due to unnatural human strength.
