Hello I mostly play axis mostly Normandy and Pacific. Anyways unto the Topic of me getting steam rolled as Germany. Out of 10 games I’ve only won 1-2 times and its getting frustrating. its not that I’m bad at the game I mostly frag 50+ In a Game.
My guess is that the allies have more players? Like can’t the devs do something about it its really starting to be a stagnant issue that has been happening for a long time. And its not just the amount of players but also the quality of what the allies get in the campaign.
Mainly the M4a2 why its armor is literally un-pierceable tank vs its counter part the Pz.IV the fucking armor is a bitch. I don’t know if its like that historically but that 16 mm in the front is really annoying. On that note add the jumbo there too.
The next one is the 100 CAPACITY THOMPSON THAT CAN KILL THE ENTIRE OBJECTIVE POINT IN 20 SECONDS. how do you expect me to kill an gung-ho mf just hip firing oh and don’t worry they come in bunches and can they can also simply just paradrop to a point which should just be nerfed. Give it at most 50m away from the point. Even 40 or 30 just not on the point directly.
to be honest there is still a mind boggling amount more that makes it unfair to not only play as Germany But to the axis as a whole. At this point I have just accepted defeat. Really hope the devs do something about the balancing of the game so that one side don’t just steamroll that other. I really love this game and hope for the player base to grow and not just be bots.
Calm down mate, there are a lot of allies grinding Normandy and most axis players are I hear in Berlin. Maybe try joining them for now and wait for the players to shift.
The equipment in Normandy is pretty equal, while the jumbo is better than its counterpart allied tanks are inferior after you unlock the Panther.
i am not bad category starts at 80+ or 100+ kills in a game (with them being mostly non vehicle ones). and that is with actually supporting your team with rally points and maybe some other engineer structure.
both of those tanks have weak spots. easiest one is MG port. if you want real unpierceable tanks you should look at panther and tiger that cant be penned frontally before 76w guns. sherman and jumbo can at least be penned frontally.
you just need to kill them. whether they have 100 bullets or 5 bullets it means nothing if you kill them. overall axis normandy has better smg.
i agree with this. simply to make performance of paratroopers more in line with real performance. they were imprecise cause of their parachute and they didnt jump on concentrated enemy positions (and those that did got massacred).
i mostly dont have same problem when i am playing germany. i still win over 60-70% of my games in normandy with axis. but reason is that i can carry and support my team.
Regular Shermans frontal armor is actually pretty strong - or at least for what the tank is, just like the T34 it made German 5cm guns obsolete, yet 7.5 cm long barreled Panzer IV should not have any problems penetrating.
Technically speaking, T34s front plate had a stronger slope than Shermans, Shermans however had a bit more thickness to it.
I haven’t really tested the new armor values out, so far I noticed that the Panther tanks are performing extremely well now - so maybe the devs have fixed german 7.5 cm guns?
Germany definitely gets trashed on you need to find some players that play axis if you want to actually have some good games because a lot of the time you will get steamrolled by a four stack of allies rushing you with SMG’s
OR (now here’s a crazy idea, but it just might work), we could complain about how the allies are “OP” and we could get the M4A2 nerfed.
IDK. Its just SO OP.
Sherman M4A2, the one in Normandy has welded hull which is far more resilient than cast armour of normal M4 sherman.
The turret however is still cast so that is the most reliable spot to penetrate the tank frontally.
NGL, I feel it has a bigger HE blast radius than my Königstiger.
Makes clearing bunkers too easy on maps like D-day, on than that, due to its stupid tunnel vision its not really nightmare to face.
Especially when even Panzer III N can one shot M4A2 in the side.
Today I played Normandy allies (EU server) and won 3 match out of 5, though the last one would have been an Axis win without me carrying the team (it literally only took 1 rally to turn the tide of a conquest match🤣)
My experience is that Allies do much better in off-hours maybe due to more experienced players. Most matches seem to be full of players, at least in my region.
Axis do really well in prime game time though.
This isn’t uncommon, the game is in a very interesting state ever since the merge™ was announced, every faction has a botfarm campaign since that.
I advise trying to avoid Normandy Axis in off-hours and US servers if you want to win.
If its not a possibility than switching to Berlin Axis might yeild more favorable results since I have 90% Axis win rate there.
Sorry, it might have been me.
Just aim for the turret, that should be the most reliable place to pen frontally.
Also if you can hit the side, go for the lower hull where tracks are, should be a 1 shot kill even with Pz3N.
