How many times do I have to say this on the forum:
I main all nations and am free to play
So when I say something is unbalanced, 9/10 times it most likely is.

First one of the day, but over the past couple of days it has been a similar story, and others can confirm it too.
Paratroopers are an overrated gimmick class that will put you out of the fight for tens of seconds.
Germans have superior SF rifle, superior tanks 
Came from someone who’s living in pure delusion, where Germany is dead faction nobody is playing lol.
But somehow I am the troll. 
It’s obvious you need to take a break from both forum and the game.
If not, it’s quite possible you are going to have total mental breakdown in few months.

You’re dancing with some bad actors here and some of them would most likely want to drag us back to Moscow and Tunisia days.
I wouldn’t say “extremely powerful”. Just competitive is a better descriptor. Yes, the MG 34 is the best MG in BR III period. But that’s about the only place BR III Germany excels.
Tanks have extremely low armour (especially on the side - an M5 Stuart can pen them). The Gewehr 41, while still ab upgrade over a Kar 98, is a joke. The Garand deals more damage and the SVT is better in basically every aspect.
And if having mediocre tanks and the worst semi auto wasn’t enough, having the worst SMGs for each BR is the cherry on top.
I mean like the panzerfaust 60 is a nice upgrade over the Sturmpistole and GRB-39. But even then it struggles at times. So no, in no way is Germany remotely powerful.

My lineup of BR3 that is the strongest in the game with zero counters against them (minus plane):
- One Assaulters with PPSh-41 box
- One MG squad with DP-27 + RMN-50
- One Engy squad with SVT-38 + RMN-50
- Guerrillas with PPSH-41 box/pps-42
- KV-1
- T-34 STZ
- Soviet paratroopers equipped with Ppsh-41 box (they will get PPD-40 from the box)
- P-40E (i could buy yak-9k during the next sale as it’s so overpowered)
- One extra squad i’m leveling up so flamethrower squad atm, will probably replace them with 2x para squad or another assaulters
- Armored APC (3x PPSh-41 box + DP-27 + 2x SVT-38)
They have literally zero weaknesses outside of not having ultra powerful BR3 plane (if you are not paying them $$$) but rest is so powerful that it turns into boredom and i’m not feeling like playing it most of the time, BR3 soviets are like opening up cheat engine and giving yourself 20 levels in RPG game.

This squad set up almost makes me cry.
But what the hell is a ppsh 42?
Not even close, BAR and Type 96 are much stronger in current offensive and flanking meta. Why would you want to use bulky and slow mg that can’t hit anything without bipoding or crounch bursting?
You people always overrating German equipment, just having large mag size won’t make it the best you need other stats to back it up. It’s the worst mg to play most of the modes and you need to always switch to sword/axe to reposition, it only shines when you are on defensive but more than half of the time you have to attack not sit on your ass like a turtle.
It’s still a good weapon in your Assaulter/APC squad/Paratrooper but not as a main weapon while you are using dedicated MG gunnner squad. Soviets can afford to have MG BR3 squad as they have not just DP-27 but also ultra powerful SVT-38 and RMN-50 what does Germany has outside of MG-34? Yeah nothing absolutely nothing. VG1-5 is a meme when compared to SVT-38 and German nade launcher got nerfed to death.

small typo, was writing it too fast
I mean personally, I actually prefer the Gewher 41 over the Garand, but yes the SVT is an outlier, however I dont find the SVT that radically more powerful, it just has the all be it, big benefit of the mag reload.
Most tanks have poor side armour, the 80mm Frontal armour however is nice and can bounce shots time to time. Still the Stug 3F should be BR2 and the Jagdpanzer 4 BR3. But dont worry about the armour too much because decent armour is made up for by amazing guns, both the 75’s at BR3 being able to slice through any enemy armour like its butter.
The 3N in particular is borderline still the best all rounder tank at BR3, its just not as tanky as the KV-1, that is literally the only place it does worse in.
Also when are earth are you struggling with a panzerfaust? Against an IS-1 frontally? Maybe?
Literally not once have I ever struggled with a panzerfaust, except at range it can be finicky to aim.

Thats just patently false, the MG34 is hands down the best MG at the BR, not to mention hipfiring it at close range is pure bliss, even at medium range, you can let off small 5 round bursts to kill most people.
VG1-5 is also pretty good, its like a M1 carbine on steroids, its amazing if you can flank with it, you can very easily wipe squads with it, just a shame it has limited ammo reserves. Like even in the KV-1 hellmatch I was on about, I use VG1-5’s on my AT squad, I was able to wipe 3 squads in the space of 15 seconds maybe with VG1-5’s?
As for the Nade launcher, the AT stick is a joke, it does 0 damage to tracks for some reason which greatly annoys me, still though, got 8 kills with a single launcher shot there just today. So its still a decent weapon.
It is overall fairly balanced.
The biggest issue are inconsistencies in Soviet tech tree.
Such as PPS smgs, SVT-38, Federov…
But rather than to correct these weird inconsistencies. Mains from other factions push powercreep and similar inconsistencies to other factions.
Effectively making only everything worse.

That’s a massive cope, they can land on the roof of many buildings and destroy squads after squads, counter enemy paratroopers, destroy enemy rallies/apcs and also approaching tanks
FG42 II has worse dmg than AVS-36 so not really and it’s hipfire is also less accurate, KT dies in a single hit from T-34-100/IS-2 or Faust
You keep saying that like you are obsessed with taking a vacation maybe DF mod could help you with that and you should take 2 month break from posting and playing. Dr Freud could help with your anger issues.
tbf to the other mains, what can they do except that when the devs clearly refuse to balance soviet weapons, like the uragan at least.

Christ man, calm down, just take a chill pill, get a cup of tea or whatever you drink to relax, and go read a book or something.
Meanwhile you need to be with your soldiers at the objectives.
But I guess campers can definitely have fun with the class.
And vice versa lmao.
Lmao, still not overweighting the rate of fire and mag capacity difference.
But it’s actually funny how hard you are trying to picture Germany as some completely unplayable nation.

Destroy new waves of enemies that come at the point to defend so your team could cap the point, destroy rallies/apcs/tanks/enemy paras to make their work even easier. Then after doing that you can storm the point yourself. Is it that hard to understand?
Good so there are no superiority of anyone. KT only shines in fighting infantry but Soviets can kill more people by using their RD-44 in a minute than a KT with it’s overly nerfed HE shell anyway.
higher rof = lose more bullets. “how dare you Germans having a SINGLE advantage over Soviets you have to be always worse! we shall make FG42 a 1 shot weapon next update” - Adamnpee
Scenario that could work only in your mind, not in actual game.
Storming objective from the roof, lmao.
Definitely not a biased statement at all, lol.
I guess mental breakdown is starting to take place.
I’ll leave you to it. I don’t want to spam his topic any longer. I think I have said more than enough here.
Works a lot of the time in Berlin campaign, for other maps you can land behind a building and also build a stealthy rally. Your imagination is so limited that i have no words.
Rest is not worth answering, your passive aggressive tone is the same as in family of two angry feminists that hate each other. My move is to no play your game anymore.
