panther is better for anti tank and tiger is better for infantry

idk if this post is true but check this data

also dont know HE values, but penetration for AP should be ok

btw found this googling

Can you check the He filler for HE shell for panther and tiger in game? Is it same as war thunder?

So panther have slightly better anti infantry capability than tiger in game? If it is same as war thunder.

The two main problems of Normandy are population (when there are more allies players the axis is powerless to do literally anything) and the sort of recent changes to the stationary mg’s on the landing maps. They used to be destroyable. One of the only ways you could win a landing as allies on DDay was to destroy as many mg nests as possible as fast as possible. Now they had the genious idea to make them invincible basically on the bunkers for some reason and then nerf the view angle of ALL the stationary mg’s. This literally did nothing to the ones on DDay while making the engineer building useless (especially with the AA existing). DDay went from an okay mission to an instant desert for me because allies just can’t win with all the mg nests everywhere that can’t be destroyed. You may kill a guy or two, you may try to neutralise the mg’s but there is no way to get rid of them entirely, and the guys will just come back because why wouldn’t they come back for easy xp farming?

They had already made it easier to destroy recently.

They just nerfed the gray zone in D-Day recently so German tanks wont have access to the road that leads up to the hill but they can still find ways to get a good vantage point even in a Tiger. Even if tanks get constantly bombed, there’s still the small arms and MGs from the bunkers.

Problem is the alied fighters and bombers. Our 109s and the FW is usless for ground attacks so no one uses them. Axis gets bombed and rockted to hell. at least ju188 has guns finaly but the bf110 cant be used while the 188 is flying so um yaaa Normandy defently needs beter plans for Germeny. Tanusia lol its funny as hell when ya start off with a full team of MG squads as british. Ill never play that ever agin

allies have better air in normandy, that is not debated. i had disgusting games where on axis we didnt have effective AA countermeasures and enemy had p-38 and p-47.

sadly solution to this is also a problem… all players need to have 2 vehicle slots at beginning. but that would again lead to even more he spam.

German fighters are fine, the Bf 109 G-6 has the second largest payload of any fighter in Normandy, and the Fw 190 is perfectly capable of of doing CAS if you have the skills. Learn to fly.

Ours dont carpet bomb like alies do. only thing ther good for is dog figting noting more I aint tuched them for a long time I just got on this game a few days back to see how messed up it got. I was surpized to see my crew fully maning my JU188 so I been using it as a fighter and a bomber its amazing! OH DAM NOW THER GONIA NURF IT CRAP!

Allied fighters don’t carpet bomb either. The P-51s both have a single drop and the M8s are precision
weapons more effective when carefully aimed than spammed in a general area.

not to mention that the A-20G-25 drops its 4 500lbs bombs in pairs out of a bomb bay in the fuselage instead of the Ju 188 dropping them from the wings for two drops and then the fuselage on the 3rd drop which gives what is currently the closest thing to a “carpet bomb”

individual bomb dropping really should be a thing where possible because making a line with those 500lbs bombs would be more effective than just two points because two bombs stacked together as a pair doesnt seem to be much more effective than a single bomb

I mean the P47 P51 and the P38s compair to BF 109s and the FW. Bombers are good as is. Now that the finaly fixed the JU188

the Ju 188 is currently broken OP with how the gunners behave. I still take them down plenty but being shot with a single hit from a mile away and having a wing rip off or and engine completely disabled is objectively stupid and wrong. Air gunnery is all about accuracy through volume of fire and using tracers to help guide it in. the Ai often will get the first 2 or 3 shots on target and miss the rest which is the exact opposite of what they should be doing and just makes it annoying af to go against gunners.

at the very least if the ju gets to have absurdly accurate gunners why can’t the A-20G-25 get some of that? My own gunner has shot down only 4 or 5 aircraft ever. the only thing i can count on him for is to harass the opponent and give them a bit of screen shake.

enjoy your broken crutch mechanic while it lasts tho i guess

edit:
just to cut off this comment before it is made yes i play axis as well and have my own fully outfitted Ju but i refuse to use it for the most part because of how OP it is. My first flight out with a fully set gunner crew they took down 4 aircraft which is about as many as my A-20G-25 gunner has taken out since the gunners were added to this game however many months ago

Apparently many people have proposed fixing the vision of the M2 carbine mechanical sight, but nothing has been done

No, the M2 carbine’s bad sight and 8.8 damage are worse when faced with FG4214.4 damage

If there are too many houses on the map, then P47 will be of little use. Even if there are few houses, only one 109 will be needed to contain P47’s misbehavior. In terms of infantry, BAR can only barely balance or be inferior in other aspects except ammo amount. Also, as machine guns BAR and 1919 are more clumsy in all aspects and take a longer walk when firing on the move. As for M4A3E2, I don’t find him too difficult to deal with now, I have sent him to the sky many times with 188

rotflmao oh so you want us un armed and easyly shot down! lol you want more players to quit? JU188 is the only dam thing we got and as I said no one plays fighters 109 or FW.

You minus well take away all the Germen plans so we dont have any and give the alies B29s loaded with 25 to 30 100s to 250s. I made a post whe I killed 6 plains cause um ya as I said no one uses the axies fighters on Normandy The biger problem is we cant get a fighter and bomber squad or we cant get a tank and a fighter/bomber inless you pay to play… and even then the alies have a advantage. no mater what fighter they use they still out gun Germens when it comes to gound attacks

Neither of those really matter at CQC, hence why SMGs are better at fighting in CQC than LMGs. The larger magazine and a bigger ammo pool in general makes the M2c better at CQC.

It is obviously important, because this is the advantage of fully automatic, full-power rifles, which require only one round to kill a target, whereas even the best submachine guns require at least two rounds to kill an enemy, an unassailable advantage
The FG overpowers the M2 in speed, power, backseat performance, and field of view, and the larger magazine load will only improve combat endurance and will not affect the ability to kill enemies in CQB combat
