So from your words are you saying we should nerf the Normandy paratroopers so they can’t drop from the sky with six Vickers and six 100 round thompsons ?
Yep most definitely dumb and I’m sure some people around would love to abuse that type of stuff and make life miserable for the Germans and yet the Germans are still struggling to have a 100 round belt fed MG.
It definitely breaks the balance of flamers. Their main downside is that you usually only have 2 in a squad and since they’re infantry you have to travel on foot to close distance with the enemy to make the flamethrower useful. When you can just drop in on the enemy with an entire squad of flamethrowers, there’s really no downside to it.
The Italian paras are fine. I have found most likely by the time you drop in and grab a flamethrower and start flaming people, you and 3-4 of the other paras will die within 10 seconds. You may get to shoot a bit more flame or kill one or two enemy with the little SMG and your last few guys but the whole squad will probably be wiped under 30 seconds. Overall they are not all that OP really.
Playing as Axis in Tunisia right now you are still facing high level Allied teams full of real players with high level vehicles and kit, whereas you may have only a few other Axis players on your team. Everything still heavily favors the Allies right now, but I have noticed after Axis captures one or two points, a large majority of the human Allied players will leave the game, making it much easier to win the last few points as Axis.
I am gonna grind Axis for the next week to get that bike and see if it stays fair after the Allied paras drop, cause for the last 6 months it has been basically Allied dominant.
