Less explosion radius with bomb and rocket Aircraft

For the bombs, its one thing, as bombs take actual talent to drop on target. 500lb and 250kg bombs are supposed to have good radius, though it also comes down to the terrain to determine blast radius. For example: if you hit on the side of a hill, that whole side is screwed, but just on the other side is fine. Bombs seem to be working as intended, and are not doing damage THROUGH TERRAIN.

Rockets on the other hand, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, are currently broken FOR THE ALLIES (the Axis rockets are definitely not being affected by this). M8s and HVARs are doing damage through terrain, and even through tank armor. Numerous times now our Tiger tanks have been eliminated by rockets landing at least 15-20m if not a little further away. The tanks themselves are not taking a lot of damage when this happens, but its killing everyone inside (seeming to ignore tank armor), therefore killing the tank by elimination of the crew.
Omer map is a great example: the rockets were hitting the rooftops, not us, and still killing the tanks.

Meanwhile, the Axis rockets seem to be working like the bombs are. Terrain effects them, so they are only effective in areas that are more open.

This is actually not really true. I know when you are first starting off they can be rather troublesome, but with practice that gets better. Try NOT using the scoped sight, rather just use the standard mode. Fire in bursts, and aim at the front of the circle lead. As far as damage, they do plenty of damage. One or two good hits will usually outright kill a plane, if not they will be quickly trying to land.

Can you link a replay where this happens? I think that it would really drive the point if there is objective evidence

I’m on xbox and STILL can’t get the “replay” function to work correctly. I’ll ask my buddy if he still has the clips though.

He plays exclusively Axis Normandy…no wonders.

no it doesn’t, shut up

also lol? bait post? it literally rotates faster than an mbt mdr

Hi, player of over a year and already maxed Normandy and Berlin Allies, alongside almost maxed Tunisia Allies and currently working on Normandy Axis and Moscow Allies. Just because you’re a marshal and maxed one or two sides doesn’t mean you know best, there’s plenty of other players here with MUCH more experience, and most likely better skill as well.

Learn the game more. You exaggerate the hell out of planes, they’re strong yes, but not as much as you say (I’d hope you were purposefully exaggerating with the 100m part. Yes M8 Rockets can kill your Tiger / Panther, deal with it. AA is very strong if your shots land, 20mm cannons do a lot of damage.

Just learn how to deal with the issues that these planes give you and figure out how to improve off of it

Nah german mains just fire off the rockets as soon as they spawn so the data is skewed :wink:

Seriously tho i did just watch that happen from my P-38 a minute ago on Omer lol

'kay MAYBE people don’t have brain at all… I said again 100 Meter is a screen, not the reality. When a dude use is HVARD rocket and blind shoot everywhere without aim and kill 22 Boys “Or 3-4 squads” in the map… It’s maybe we have some problem - Tank in the other side can’t kill everybody without aim, and are more more weak than, the airplane because is poor view, is maneuvrability and is speed. Not saying that pretty everything can destroy it, HE rounds bounce sometime in the ground and MG Overheat too fast.
When everybody take airplane, it’s not for the strategic purpose ; It’s because theses planes are Overpowered.

The AA, i use it pretty much every games ; Camping like a fucking tree and waiting planes to be in sight, BECAUSE pretty much no one want to use it, because it’s a shitty gameplay : Waiting plane and killing them for 1 kill “sometime 0” and 1 vehicle destroyed ; Whew ! Awesome ! When your squad can be wipe out with a burst shot of a plane “Even when he shoot far away from you” or killed by some troubles makers, it’s not attractive at all.

And I know what am saying : AA are slow, weak and can’t shoot properly. When you aim the circle ; Is easy yes, but not every rounds hit is target and sometime no rounds hit is target at all.

So don’t try to teach me the game, yeah boy you have burned the game. You have the time forward you with Enlisted, me not. But i am a good player, knowing how to win and knowing the mechanics that’s the main case… And i don’t care about kids yelling at me and being toxic with me just because he’s want to save is nukes planes.

Now i have finish my entire topic, medidate, speak if you want. But i am out :slight_smile:
Good luck / have fun with ur “Nuke maker” but one day or another it’s gonna be fix.
“If the dev want to have more news peoples, of course.”

Peace for everyone.

AND Btw , im not only in normandy but in moscow too and it’s the same shit : Everyone use plane, like noob’s they are and you are. 407893 Kills and 6607 die no wonder how much you use this noob’s tool.
F’cking craps.

ironic you say that, because I would play Normandy match as Allies and hardly anyone will be using aircraft on Americans side.

Moscow the aircraft are trash to begin with. and yet you want nerf them even more.

I agree with you Adamnpee its much harder to use the plane than it is to use A.A i have shot down many planes using A.A while flying and bombing seems to be more Killing someone at 100 metres seems unlikely maybe 25 to 50 may be more honest
