It is on defense where I get annoyed more often, I play as Axis normandy, for me the most significant problem that I face there, is the fact that Axis has no reliable way to destroy jumbos playing gray zone, it happends very often, I have absolutely no problem while dealing with jumbos, I know how to kill them in multiple ways, the problem is, that my team will never deffend the objective, so if I get out of the objective, the objective will be lost, it doesnt matter if I take the jumbo out fast or not, the objective is basically gone the second I step out of it, and my team cannot destroy the goddamn jumbo, thats my problem
if axis has top gear players, allies honestly dont face a real problem since they have the braindead p38 to one tap every axis tank, and if they have a p 47 fuck it, not only the tanks will die but the whole map will be nuked, while for unskilled axis players the only way to take out a jumbo is to suicide bomb it as a Ju 188, which leads to other, not so important issues that I find on the game, but all of them add up at the end of the day, like, axis players never use figthers, why? because they are shit, not like in air performance but in offensive capabilities
lets say that you use a bf 109 g6, you can oftenly run out of bullets before being able to destroy a p47, so it has low ammo, shit bombs, which at the end of the day makes it the shittiest plane of normandy, at least the p 51 c10 has the best air to air combat performance at the cost of shit bombs but the bf 109 g6 gets like nothing in return, since they changed the 250kg bomb almost no one uses it, so another problem, the bf 110, why it should not be able to destroy heavy tanks? (on a reliable way) but the p38 can? honestly I dont understand the logic for that one, now lets talk about the bf 109 g 10, you give any CAS potential to have air power, but since the game has a clear objective, you are kinda useless unless the enemies have 2 planes up, so you are useless to support your team on the ground, and in the air the p51 c10 still is better than you in raw stats, the Ju 188, can be shot down by AA guns and it cant do almost nothing about it, unless you are skilled with the bombs you can do something, but still is dangerous to aproach into firing range, because of the glass cockpit your pilot can easely be sniped unlike the p47, if you shoot at a p47 with AA he will nuke your whole position and it wont die even if you land the shots, he still has time to spit all the rockets, so those are one of the points, a single one of those in my opinion is not really a very big deal with the exeption of the p38
in my opinion its very clear that allies normandy have a clear advantage over axis, like one of the only things that allies fall a bit behind is AT soldiers weapons, but it kinda doesnt matter when you have p38s, they dont have the best tanks but allied tanks are honestly not bad at all, and thats one of the things I find funny, they always complain about german tanks but, a german tank is worth nothing if a single braincell on the allies team is functional and can use a p38 (and even if there was no p38, they still have the m10 but I guess it is not cool enough for the little kids) while if they have a jumbo, they can take shots from tigers, they can ignore tigers, panters if they just angle their mg port a little, they might not destroy the tiger but they can still just help their team on the objective, or even shoot smoke rounds at the tigers face, and if they are on the grey zone the only thing that probably can kill them is a ju 188, or a very skilled pilot which is fucking rare, I have only seen like 2 or 3 good pilots killing jumbos with rockets, and 0 killing jumbos with 50kg bombs besides me, yes I know that it can be done, it just requires a lot of skill, unlike m8 rockets, I would just rather than instead of having to sweat my ass off just to kill a heavy tank I could just have fun instead and be able to destroy it just the same way they can destroy my tank
that reminds me of another problem, allies normandy is very friendly with f2p players, because they can choose one of 3 multi use planes, and still they are able to destroy any enemy vechicle, while axis players, they have to choose, if they wanna be blown up by planes 24/7 or if they want to coinflip playing a plane, and be useful or useless depending on what the enemy team brings to battle, so yeah axis players can very often be playing with only 2 or 3 squads because allied planes can make any tank unusable, and axis planes cant do nothing about late game allied tanks, so lets say that you picked a bf 109 g10, and the enemies only have tanks, you not only are useless with that plane but where you could have a tank to fight the enemy tanks you have a useless plane, so yes there are ways to deal with this shit
Im max level axis normandy and I have the panzerfaust and the panzershrek unlocked so I can snipe tanks some times, but I just wish there was a more practical way to deal with that problem
but moving back to the main topic, allies capture very fast, and axis loses way more tickets when attacking, which is not much of a problem, but in my opinion it just doesnt make the game fun, or enjoyable, thats why I rather confrontation mode, because there you can actually carry games with good rallys, it doesnt matter if certain objective is very bad for you because you can hold the next one for ever if you know what to do, if the enemies take it you can recover it, that game gives you the chance to actually show your skill in a deeper level than invasion and it really feels rewarding, unlike invasion which most of the times you know if you can win or not in the first 5 minutes of the game or even before, just by looking at the tickets, I could go on and on about other stuff, but other stuff in my opinion is not really important it is just slightly annoying I can deal easely with
also
I mean, not forever removed or disabled but, at least until they do something about it? I would rather play confrontation or even destruction, tho I rather confrontation over destruction, you get the point
