I have been playing around a month, and while at first I was trying as Normandy Allies, I followed suggestions and went to Moscow allies to get a feel for the game at a more manageable pace.
I had to take some time off due to a PC issue, and now that I have been back I made it to level 20 and really have a nice idea of the basics. However, I tried US Normandy and it is so difficult! I am only at level 11 but the huge round site is horrible! When you have weaker crews because you are new this is a big issue because the time you can’t see your target area is too long! Same deal for the Bren. Huge sights. The Garand is a big circle too but it isn’t so bad.
I know that maybe I could hip fire, but again, as a new player this isn’t something you are going to be doing for a while. Though the sights on the M1918 A1 are horrible kind of like the Thompson is as it has those site guards that cut a good portion of your view off.
Not only as a soldier would you be modifying those sights, but you can also keep both eyes open so the sights don’t block your eyes as much while it is up to your face. But we can’t do that.
So you have poorly trained troops, non upgraded guns, non user friendly guns, generally newbie teams that don’t know how to build rallies or work as a team, or read a map, and the germans already have the clear advantage with terrain, but everyone that wants to play, play as axis because the weapon experience at the very least is way better on axis. Vehicles are way better as well.
This and it is just well known that the newer players will be on the allies team.
NerdAlert did a video covering this as well if you wanted to check it out. https://youtu.be/DpU-QJskaD0
Thanks for consideration and discussion!
