If you really think 12.7mm Browning is that useful, P40E is good enough
Have you really tried IS2? Its loading speed is enough to erase any advantage of its shell power
Meanwhile, due to WT magic, you cannot guarantee that it can destroy 4J
The IL10, as the ultimate Soviet attacker, is simply a joke, and compared to its rival Fw190-D12, there is almost nothing comparable.(Of course, FW190 will shift during diving, but it can be manually compensated)
IL-2M is actually good at CAS, but much slower than Fw190 and Me410. Its bombs are not enough to easily eliminate tanks.
What? You mean NS-45 or sth. Else? The anti tank capabilities of these guns have long been weakened to an extent
The handling of this thing is really terrible, and it doesn’t have enough self-defense firepower. Can be killed by Ju87 easily. It’s not as useful as IL2
Novel viewpoints, but please provide evidence
Overall, I don’t think the Soviet Union has an overall advantage in tanks or aircraft, whether it’s in BR5, BR3, or BR2, because the Soviet tanks in BR2 always face opponents in BR3, and the tanks in BR3 often encounter Tiger. BR5 is not worth mentioning.
Have you ever experienced encountering Ju188 in a small combat area like Berlin? You wouldn’t want to experience it, especially in open spots like Herman Goering Avenue.
The P40E is indeed a good fighter jet, and besides that, it seems that Germans often have an advantage in vehicles.
Perhaps only monsters like T44-100 or IS3 can make BR5 more balanced. Of course, it’s a big step away from HA, but no one cares that anymore
All bolt actions are 1 shot unless you miraculously manage to shoot a man in the foot
All semi’s are 2-3 shots
Pistols so long as you spam the trigger have about as much TTK as the M1 Carbine
It makes for really quick engagements because about 2 seconds later, someone’s squad is gone
Unlike CoD where every lever and bolt action take 2-5 shots to kill, except for the biggest baddest sniper rifle of course that takes all of the time to cycle
And these are universal regardless of nation! Right now the ONLY thing holding back the US from defeating the Krauts is players. We have no good players left to do the job
so you are claiming that there is no difference among small weapons in enlisted? then how can you explain in real play different weapons obviously have different performance?
Ju 188 seriously? That flying brick that I can drop with soviet AA? Or any plane with player usable gun? Or how about put your 37mm autocannon some use?
In 10 rounds of the game, you can see one. which is easily detected and destroyed by German tanks (unless you are hiding in the back, so you are as far away from the strategic point as the victory)
NS37’s 2 * 100kg doesn’t seem like a good way to CAS, which would waste the attacker position. If you use a fighter jet, 20mm ShVAK has extremely low damage in this game and is not a good choice to kill Ju188. The Yak-9T’s machine gun is indeed very strong, but it has no CAS capability at all. I hardly see anyone using it.
The key is 6 * 250kg. The defensive side can use unlimited Kamikaze special attacks, and I want to know how you have time to attack it.
Yes, you can sit on AAA for the whole game to prove that any air spam is not enough to be afraid of.
It’s all meaningless empty talk. Why don’t you go play WT where there are various AA vehicles
Alas, perhaps only single celled organisms can fill the world with their offspring
Returning to the main point, you claim that the Soviet Union has very good airplanes, not worse than Germans at all.
But you didn’t even reply to any of the messages that were the earliest to refute you. What else can I say?
Maintain the status quo and claim that balance still exists. So you can continue to easily play the German camp
Oh that one, maybe try using the P40E-1 from Stalingrad? Or I dunno, the IL2 1941, if you want a bomber, the Sb-2m, hell even the Hurracane is good, I mean I used all those back in Moscow and Stalingrad, and I don’t think any German planes are agile than those but their Hs 132 biplane
Is agility really more important than bombs? At the end of the day, this is just an infantry based game. The manpower cost you bring to the enemy by destroying 5 enemy planes may even be smaller than the manpower cost caused by 1-2 rounds of Ju188, which is a significant disadvantage.
Remember, this is not WT. Moreover, in the face of Kamikaze attacks, no fighter jet has time to react
You didn’t even have a chance to shoot down enemy planes before they bombed.
They are indeed useful, but still not enough.
Germans also have 37mm machine guns and rockets in the BR2. I have experienced them multiple times and they are not more difficult to use than IL2-1941.
Yes, there is a gap in flight performance, but the impact on the game is not significant.
If we want to strengthen balance:
Enhance the damage of ShVAK, they seem to be underestimated (perhaps all aircraft guns have already been nerfed)
Strengthening the CAS capability of IL10 (clearly not enough as a BR5 attack aircraft), or adding excellent bombers like Tu2S. At present, the Soviet Union did not have a bomber with the same CAS capability as the P-47D or Ju188. (Perhaps the Japanese are also like this? Balance undoubtedly requires rework)
Dude you have Sb-2M, 6 100kgs/3 drops vs Ju 87 with 250kg+2 50kg or 1 500kg, or 3 250kg, is 1 or 2 drops, also the Sb-2m is almost twice as agile and faster than Ju87 despite being larger…
Or the IL2 1941 has 20mm and 12.7mm + 8 rockets and 50kgs, or you can go above and beyond with the P40E which has 1 250kg and 2 100kg… those 3 planes are better than anything the gemans has in low BR
Germans has no rockets or 37mm in BR2 but BR3 with the BF110 G2, compared to US planes that thing is nothing to be honest
You know what’s the funny part? The US and Japs doesn’t even have anything the soviet has and yet they got better playerbase than the soviet one, legit just grow a pair of balls and learn to play?
What we need is a super fat bonus to “play any faction” - like 200% or 300% XP.
And you loose it for X minutes (30, 60) if you desert your ANY game.
That way people would be incentivized to at least play a random faction out of the 4.
But that wouldn’t really make Soviet players go anywhere near BR 3-4-5 anyway though to be slaughtered by STG, FG, MP-717, G43k, Conders and KTH with KTP (my actual setup rn).
