I suggest t-29 over pershing for normandy bcs pershing in mid 44 is total fantasy. Dont come with japan, japan need to be balanced but we’r talkin about us. Us gear is similar and comparable against germany except tiger1/2. T 29 is histotically accurate at least.
If you want just 1944, then 76 Jumbo is fine. Don’t waste time with prototype tanks.
My point is that it´s much harder. If it´s so hard that nobody does it, it´s almost like it´s really hard to do and the average player thus won´t even try. Like I´m looking at how the average player will use them aka the majority not the odd player who masters a vehicle or something. The P-38s M8 rockets do the job much easier and are more forgivable. I´m not argueing it can´t be done but it feels like that´s what people like you always argue when the topic comes up.
It doesn’t matter what people can or cannot do, if you balance based on the skill floor then every tank needs anti-grav tech because idiots will flip them or get them stuck in trenches. Instead, how effective a vehicle is should be determined based on the best players performance with it.

We already have jumbo but they still complain about tigers.
Na that sounds stupid and always let to problems with stuff like competitive games in the past. Like with your logic you could argue that Axis only need the Puma since it can reliably kill every US if you flank it, wich it could do due to it´s speed. You see what I´m getting at here?

Yes, with a 76 jumbo, we get one with a gun that can frontally pen the tiger.
Sherman 76 already do it, i think is better dont add other tank, if normandy dont get expanded in the bulge
That is a strawman of what I said. To use your example, I’m not saying the Germans only need a Puma, I’m saying because of what it is, it is a good tank because the best players with it can kill those enemy tanks. Meanwhile, the Panzer IV J is a bad tank, as even the best players struggle to use it due to the turret traverse.
I have a feeling they are going to expand Normandy, but since we already have the normal Jumbo, the 76 should be fine to match the KT. It will be a P model anyways, so any 76mm gun will be able to pen the cheeks with ease.
No you still don´t get it, you try to balance stuff by using something wich a vehicle technically could do and put it on the same level as something wich a vehicle could do theoratically and in praxis reguarly.
Also it was just an example, I don´t know what your opinion on tank balance is since we where talking about the P-38 and BF-110.

Well fine, lets go at it your way. The P-38 has easy to aim rockets that can be used to kill tanks with ease, but has minimal splash while the Bf 110 has two rockets, a single pair of which can cover the same area that all of the P-38’s rockets can, in addition to it’s guns which are the only ones in the game which can be easily used for strafing. Thus, the P-38 is only better at killing tanks, while the Bf 110 is easier to kill infantry with, while with enough skill can be just as good at killing tanks as the P-38 while there is nothing you can do to change the splash of the M8 rockets. So tell me, how is the Bf 110 not better than the P-38?

You forgot it also has a better weapons for aircombat and is by default one of the most manouverable planes in the campaign almost on par with fighters.
A skill wich you see how often? Seriously it feels like you and your buddy are argueing in bad faith here. Technically the Puma can kill the Jumbo if you´re skilled Puma>Jumbo???
If the average guy in a BF110 can´t provide me with effective anti armor support like US CAS can then I´m not gonna give a shit if it could technically do it. What kind of lobbies do you get into where the BF110s rockets destroying tanks is such a big problem? It´s like me making a post recently complaining about Air raids on Pacific wich to me are a problem but admittedly only in specific circumstances.

Well it is literally a fighter…
That is you straw manning again, you cut out the bit about the fact that the Bf 110 can both kill tanks with careful aiming, and large quantities of infantry without. The P-38 can only kill tanks, the 6 M8s only match about 1 WFR rocket.
Then get in the 110 and do it yourself. Relying on your team is your first mistake.

never do this in a multiplayer game ever, unless you are in direct comms with them
You don’t get it, it’s extremly hard to kill tanks with Werfer-Granate 21, it’s not about practice. Those rockets were severly nerfed, they are still very good vs infantry but that’s why you only have 2x or 4x of them.
P-38G is also much more maneuverable and faster than Bf 110 which results in much frequent runs.
P-38G is also one of the best fighters, in my opinion it’s better than Fw 190 A-8 duo too better flying model.
On the other way Bf 110 G-2 have one of the best guns for CAS.
But you are missing the point, P-38G is fighter that match capabilities of Attacker…also moron above stated that Bf 110 G-2 is equal to P-47 with 10 HVARS and 500lb bomb.

And Axis doesn´t have one like that. So they can have an A-20 bombing everything and a P-38 deleting any armor. Poor poor allies.
Bitch I´m not strawmanning you I´m pointing out the flaws in your logic by aplying your arguements to tanks. Using buzzwords doesn´t make your points any less moronic.
It´s not like the M8 rockets are worthless against against Infantry. iF yOu aIm cArEfuLlY yOu cOuLd kIlL iNfAnTrY. You see now I´m pulling the same shit you do. Except the M8 rockets can still kill Infantry, you just need to spread them out, a skill you apparently struggle with.
No it’s not hard, it just takes a direct impact, which takes practice. As for the comparison to the Thunderbolt comparison, I also adressed that as in the hands of a skilled pilot, the 110 is just as effective as the Thunderbolt, it just takes practice and good map knowledge.
