Finished the pass, my premium will expire. The game was awesome before everyone had 1000000 kg bombs and artillery spams. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Will check forums to see any future changes.

I’m on the same boat.
I don’t feel like wasting time in a game i know nothing about the devs future plans for it.

Tend to agree with you, take a break and check back for patch notes or forum feedback to see if things have corrected itself.

The devs are trying real hard to bury their game into the ground. This level of fail actually takes effort to achieve.
Community: NERF ARTILLERY AND PLANES.
Devs: Ok, how about we reduce additional arty timer by 15 sec… AND ALLOW ANOTHER CONCURRENT PLANE/BOMBER… AND BUFF EXPLOSIVES. Didn’t like being bombed by one plane? Have fun being bombed and rocketed by TWO and one-shot by a stray artillery shell.
Imo, this patch is the worst in a long time. Double planes is hotfix worthy material. Arty was actually buffed since now it one-shots, so that is hotfix worthy material too.
Let’s see how long the devs ignore the issues this time around. Taking at least a few month long break sounds totally reasonable at this point.

But you are aware that 2 planes was always a thing except Germany in Normandy, that could take only 1 plane due to a bug, right? Devs only fixed a bug in that case, nothing more.

I think you are supposed to be allowed one plane of each type. One slot for attack plane that has ground based weapon and one slot for fighter plane that has anti-plane guns and very limited ground impact. Any other setup would be a bug, imo.
As it stands now with this patch, you get 2 concurrent attack based planes smashing ground troops with bombs and rockets, which is a hotfix worthy bug I would say.
That was present before too. Not sure if it is a bug or not, but definetely it wasn’t changed in latest update. I remember flying BF110 in Moscow with Stuka alongside me long time before that patch. And fighters carry bombs too, so they also can sometimes serve as CAS.
Feel free to be not happy about it, I also think it’s kinda wierd, but at least don’t spread missinformation that devs did it on purpose with latest patch, please.
I mostly play Allies on Normandy, and it was a hell before with one plane, since more than half of maps in the rotation are Invasion maps. This patch, it’s game-breakingly bad with two planes. You get an absurd amount of bomb and rocket spam along with arty now.
Instead of fixing it for Axis on Normandy, maybe they should of disabled it in other campaigns and tuned down fighter planes so that they only have anti-air guns and point-target AP rockets that can disable tanks but have little impact on infantry, not fucking HVARs that wipe 3+ squads through bunker walls.
Jup, conquest always had leavers but since a few days when I press tab I have to scroll down during invasion now as well. Hell I even left a few invasions because the enemy was rotating their arty on both spawns and planes doing the same. 2 tanks on the highground insta killing the left overs and insta killing tanks if you want to counter them with tanks. I honestly love a challenge and I love playing invasion but I never encountered games that could get stuck on spawn…

what game are you playing? They made it longer between arty strikes #1 and #2, yeah let me launch a High explosive shell from a cannon downrange and watch what it does when it lands in the general vicinity of a fleshy soldier. If the initial blast from the round doesnt kill the soldier, the god damn pressure wave will fuck you up something fierce. Also theres death from trauma. so yes, in my opinion arty should one shot a soldier if it drops in their general area or on top of them.
Arty killing in one ge isn’t a problem, the fact that radius is 2x bigged and you get shaky screen for eternity is so stupid. Since everyone just spams it you get wobbly head for 24h, and it’s just frustrating. The head shaking perks is now the best one beacuse of this bullcrap

You know that before the landing on the beaches the allies bomb and arty spammed the living shit out of the Germans right? The only reason they had hard times taking some beaches was the Atlantik Wall Germany build and was nearly indestructible. Bomb and arty pam is part of warfare, i doubt the people in Dresden cried to nerf the UK bombers that turned their city into a firestorm killing tens of thousands of people some of them just melted alive due to the heat.
That being said, the game does need some balancing and tweaking.
It’s not realistic and it’s not fun.
all company minus infantry actions in WWII were NOT supported by heavy aviatiation, a limitless supply of tanks and 100 thousand pounds of artillery rounds.
ok i understand that. Bombers did their own runs regarldles what happened on the battlefields but infantry did have fighter support and tank escorts tho. In Belgium you still see those US tanks in villages as memorials from the Battle of the Bulge where the US lost over 700 tanks and over 500 planes. Arty was mainly used as a pre-strike so ground troops could advance safely, if they didn’t kill their own lol US army is famous for friendly fire hahaha
Like I said, combined arms was definitely a thing but I’d regard this an overemphasis on vehicles. This plays like a half baked infantry game mode rolled out in War Thunder for April fools.
I miss CBT.
Yeah I couldn’t even finish a match today. I am seriously considering uninstalling.
It was intially pretty fun but the imbalance has just gotten worse and the exploitable mechanics have gotten worse. it’s just not fun anymore.

It’s kinda sad seeing that devs have no vision on what they are doing. Every patch is like trial and error that aims to fix one thing but breaks ten others.
Like why the hell did they decide to merge rally points. Now my perfectly placed rally points don’t matter cause somebody placed one earlier in the open and now the placement of mine doesn’t count and I get spawned in the open. Their “under fire” check is a nice touch to avoid spawning into open fire, but it doesn’t work properly half the time. So placing well hidden sneak rallies doesn’t work either. Etc, etc.
Every patch makes the game more and more infuriating. I think I’m done with the game for a while. There is nothing in it to do after level 29 anyway.
