Gamestate seems really good in Normandy

Have to say after the last 2 patches the campaign in Normandy feels really good, I seem to be using mines way more effectively, engineer equipment is all over the place and used way more. The defenses feel way more in dept with a first line and a fall back line instead of > all huddled together on the objective. A lot of guys teaming together way more because of this as well. The stuff that promoted selfish play is removed and all of the sudden an brilliant campaign appears.

Hell a friendly teammate helped me build an at gun to hunt down the pz4 the team has been chasing for a few minutes straight finally finishing it off right before it rounds the corner just because the teammate helped me with the buildtime.
Awesome moments like that have been legio over the last week.

Dont get me wrong the plane bomb fear is still there but now you can actually counter it by the way you play on the ground. Really cool.

Cheers devs the game is great right now.

Indeed, today, when you couldn’t win with infantry, you took a P47 and made a “balance” rain of missiles, killing 15-25 people in one go. In my opinion, the next nerf should affect the missiles, because I do not see the difference with 250kg bombs in effectiveness.

i can agree with this since the lvl 4 german unlock, bf110, gets 4 210mm rockets that are disgustingly effective hell you can take the rocket away and it will do fine as gun CAS

A fighter with 10 missiles and a bomb is okay. This guy made half the kills in the last 3-4 minutes, killing a defenseless team because the genius map design makes you run across a bare field. In addition to the P47, the P38 rockets were thrown relentlessly.
Without broken missiles they had no chance to win the match, but let the bombs stop doing damage, but the planes that have 10 missiles each we leave in pristine condition.
If you have a hard time dealing with a slow plane that only has 4 missiles when you have 10, I think you should L2P

Most kills I got today with a plane was 16 something but averaged out on 8-9 per run your team was hiding well.

But what is your point with being so negative? I got a plane out when the defense got dense, sue me. Always play to win the game my dude.

Nonesence. Again, why are you angry at me for?

hvars have less explosive mass than the 210mm rockets, and you know why the whole “no aircraft before 60 seconds have passed” rule happened? because the bf110 would just stop the first wave with just 4 rockets

says the one who struggles with jumbo, so while you’re saying “nerf allies” i’ll be out here killing p-47s, p-38s, p-51s, and a-20s with my bf110 as well as killing jumbo in my panzer :yawning_face:

I understand you, but it annoys me when no one takes a fighter, and even if they did, you have 2 good planes in the sky for maneuvering combat, and my team could only provide one.
Obviously it will always end up that way, and if I played your planes, I wouldn’t lose games at all.
It’s just that now the “terrible” Ju is absolute garbage because there’s no way it can defend itself against any plane, but the bombs have gotten worse than the missiles, too.
As you can see from the stats, I literally won the game. You could throw out my whole team, leaving just me, and I would defend the same way.
However, for some reason whiners think that we should still weaken the Germans, although as you can see from the photo, my team can not win with OP German weapons.

so… why arent you?

I’m waiting for you in my match. Yesterday I played Moscow in the attack and saw that the attackers there don’t get tickets at all. Normandy is 250-200 per point, which is utter nonsense, allowing you to just bomb a point and then capture it, and keep doing it over and over again to attack.
Map design is idiotic, defenders run through a clear field, new points are immediately available for grabs, as a result I often do not have time to get to them before they are already taken by cunning players who run to them in advance.
I love playing the attack on Le Bre. I win 90%+ of my matches there and I don’t think anything is easier than attacking with that many tickets.

literally what do you mean by this that is my only question

Because German planes suck.
The Fw-190 is full of bugs. the guns fire on their own, the plane flips, the maneuverability is worse than the P47. Why do I need this garbage?
Ju is defenseless garbage, either suicide game or anger from complete powerlessness because any plane in the sky will fly and shoot you down and you can only try to dodge longer. Should we introduce airplane turrets already?
I still win games and often, it’s just that people keep asking to weaken the Germans, even though they have the simplest tactic to win.
I think the worst games are the ones where one team had tanks or planes and the others didn’t, it’s always a beating from one side or the other. Especially when there are planes like the P47. Everyone argues about the FG-42 or Ju, but no one says “give me a free fighter slot” so we don’t have these delusional situations.

I’m glad if you kill planes and tanks, because when I have a fighter in my slot, I have 2 jumbos on the ground, and when a Pz, there’s always a P47 or A20 in the sky. And the rest of the team feels like they don’t have a tech slot at all.
And glad to have you do it on my team when you get to one match.
I just literally don’t believe anyone thinks Allied planes are weaker than German planes. I play every match better than anyone else on the map and really see the problems of the game. If I see them, then the average player with 50 kills should suffer dozens of times more.

but your point was, “if i played your planes i wouldnt loose matches” i understand it as “if i played US with US planes, i wouldnt loose” my question is , why dont you play with them if you dont loose matches with them?.

you choose to play with the worst one, in your opinion, because?

shiivex is usually right since from what i noticed is that all you need is 2 players in communication, one half compete at least, you’ll rarely lose matches like i’ve squaded up with someone who barely plays FPS and enlisted with the result being us losing 1 game out of the 4 we queued up for

I just play at maximum, with that now I have a laptop with 20-25 fps and I do noticeably more kills than anyone in the match. I’m sorry, how do I play better than I do now? Kill everyone on the map in 10 seconds?
Man, I’m just tired of these kinds of matches. I see that I deserved to win and did 110%, why did I lose? Okay, I’m willing to accept defeat, but to go to a forum and see “Germans OP, nerf!!!” when a guy literally rocketed the team and won a losing match without much effort at the end is weird.
Why don’t I play allies? I don’t like their small arms. I’m happy with my side, it just annoys me when someone wants even more power “Weaken ONLY German missiles\bombs, take away the fg-42, take away the Puma, leave the Krauts only knives!”
Gentlemen, you can win a match just by hitting the P47 missile reset button, and I, having done 180 infantry kills, will lose the match.

thats all nice and all, but you still didnt answer my question…

on the other hand, i lost matches with 100+ or 200+ kills.
at the end of the day, i didnt deserve the win, coz i didnt win.

this was few minutes ago:

german side had 1 guy at any given time covering every passage, and my teamates played as passive as a jar of sausages… even tho i did almost 150kills, i didnt deserve to win. and i wont start a fight over balance, because the problem was purely on our side. all of us.

I like the infantry style of play first and foremost, though. That’s why I like Capture mode. I don’t like the fact that the player on the plane or tank has a huge advantage, and I don’t even have the means to punish him (No engineer\tank\fighter in the slot). The slot system is terrible, to be honest.
On the one hand it allows you to do suicide attacks, but on the other hand to have an answer to any situation, if you invested money.
Now you can not even buy an extra slot if you do not have premium activated, what the hell?))
I consider bomber battles to be literally cheating if you don’t get attacked. I’m not interested in winning that way. I especially hate it when people use it on purpose when they can’t win.
I didn’t see suicide spam planes from the Germans, but I think it was unpleasant too and I despised it.

No, my friend, I consider myself a passive player when it comes to balance. I have not resorted to asking to weaken the radios, bombers, and jumbos. Let them all have pluses.
But just yesterday people were writing that the jumbo wasn’t strong at all, in general we need to weaken the Axis more, and here’s a match where I felt that despite my huge contribution I couldn’t win because of the P47. After which the person writes "weaken the German missiles. WHAT?
When the bombs were killing everything on the map, there were rivers of “weaken the Ju” cries every day. And these people would ask on and on until they were shooting dummies.
It just amused me that now the defenseless Ju is also bad at destroying infantry\ tanks, while the P47 and 10 missiles, bomb, maneuverability, and 6 machine guns are still in the balance.

I’m not sure that tanks, planes, and infantry can be balanced at all. It terrifies me when one team has an unpunished tank or bomber. We need to solve this problem so that there is always an option to fight back.
I remember playing a Ju battle once where I never died. Nobody just touched me, I destroyed the whole team and won, but I don’t need such a win because I don’t want to end up on the ground under such a plane in the next match.
