I somewhat agree with you that flak cannons are a bit underpowered.

However, if you don’t like to be killed by planes Normandy Axis is the worst campaign you could be in.

My advice: Play another campaign. Doing this pre merge will be helpful for you and unlock additional kit.

One thing you may realise is the campaign playercount and popularity changes regularly with one side regularly having much more players but also much higher level. At the moment Axis Normandy is not popular, it seems like most of the Axis mains are in other campaigns like Berlin if you want easier games go there. You wont have to worry about planes as much in that campaign either they aren’t as powerful and the maps have a lot of indoor sections.

What many of us were talking about BEFORE the merge was to put β€œmore powerful” weapons in the II squadrons of the engineers, but due to the merge this is not possible. The only possible theory is that within the engineer squadrons there was a second roulette wheel on their roulette wheel. for β€œmore powerful” builds when the merge arrives that includes offensive and defensive structures of greater power and resistance but with a very slow build time even with the right perk, but I highly doubt they will do this, heck look at the AT squad, which It should have a more powerful or different cannon, but there it is, a copy and paste from the engineering squad

Yeah, that’s why I don’t even use the AT squad, it’s a waste of time. I agree with your comment. :+1:

I have TONS of experience in aircraft.

I AM speaking from a point of both perspectives.

Rockets most definitely need a nerf, but overall FORTIFICATIONS need a BUFF.
After all, they get shattered every time there are just about any kind of nearby blast.
If they actually held up, it wouldn’t be such a big issue, but as of right now planes are FAR too strong and don’t have suitable counters.

I usually get apx 50+ kills/ life in a plane. Even with bombs rather than rockets. I’ll have to go back and find my clip where I use the Sb2M to take out almost 40 guys in a SINGLE pass on Moscow.

You can allways post it via screen from your game account.

You can’t do anything similiar consistently right now and overpowered are just a few planes.

God no, everything blocks bomb blasts right now, it need adjustments not buffs…

Not in any of my experience! Fortifications that are even INSIDE buildings are being destroyed when rockets or bombs go off. Even Czech Hedgehogs in the open are destroyed.
Same with artillery fire.

Have you never noticed the utter lack of fortifications built up anywhere outdoors (fortifications built by players). Its because every blast and the fragmentation from those blasts, decimates them.

If they got the RIGHT buffs, you would see a lot more of them used externally and not just crammed up inside doors.

I mean all fortifications not buildable ones, i die like once per few games to air attack.
Most planes are completly uneffective craps except few like P-47D in Normandy, where you have 10xHVAR + 500LB bomb every 30 seconds becouse of ridiculous loadout to spawn distance ratio.
Compare it to Pacific where you have 4x60kg bomb on a plane that flies max 300km/h at 3500m+ ressuply point.
I would say the problem is exclusivly with overloaded rocket loadouts, becouse when you compare it for example with Ju-188, this plane have largest bomb loadout in the game but is easly destroyed by everything.
The same can’t be said about full air supperiorty P-38G/P-51 with 2x500lbs + P-47D spam.

As i said all fortifications, i’m ever even dying to bomb blast (maybe once per few games), everything blocks it except those buildable fortifications.

The ONLY things that block it is permanent structures (like buildings and rubble piles) and tank remains.
Even then many of the blasts seem to hit through walls and kill people inside buildings pretty often, especially from rockets.

The problem is that almost everything in this game is permanent including wreckages.

  • Crates
  • Courtyard walls
  • Cars
  • Sandbags
  • Barrels
  • and many other bits and pieces scattered around

All of this is destructible.
You might not really realize just how much of it there is until its all wiped away.
Artillery, bomber raids, tank shells, etc all destroy this stuff in mass.
