I rarely Play Normandy as the Map’s suck imo, to cluttered to small ext, makes me very frustrated when I use tanks, exc…
Today I was flying which is what I try and do when the Daily challenges ask me to go Normandy.
I was really surprised at how many 30 mm hits from my MK 108’s the Allied Fighters were absorbing, irl, one hit from a 30 mm MK 108 was typically enough to completely destroy any allied fighter, yet several hits seamed to not phase them
If there is an Issue in Normandy it’s not, I think the German Planes need be better or different, there Guns just need to work.
O, and that Whole Nerfed MG 34 on the tanks is really aggravating, but that is old news…
Yes the main armament will actually reload quicker than the machine gun will cool down, and yeah you only get a few rounds in a few bursts before it overheats, but in the British tanks you can fire for seemingly indefinite period of time before they’ll actually over heat at least comparatively
this part is completely correct, unlike the 20mm guns, the 30mm works miserably.
Sometimes 7-8 hits don’t do any damage, even though 1 or 2 hits are supposed to do monstrous damage.
Ground vehicles are fighting terrain, not the infantry, and their own broken damage models. I’m grinding Berlin atm, and the number of shots that the T-34/85s are absorbing is off the charts. The last patch has fully broken German 75mm. The 88mm seems to have escaped the nerfing atm.
Equally, the Soviet 85mm is massively overperforming atm. I’m OHK Panthers and PzIVs frontally as long as I can squeeze a shot past all the blocking terrain.
Aircraft are fighting flight and abysmal damage models / weapon damage. My Soviet planes on Berlin are absolute bullet sponges.
The German tanks used belt, that were in bags of 250 rounds as far as I know, the MG 34/42, drum magazine wasn’t actually a magazine in the sense that I think most people think of it as, it was actually just a coiled up belt inside of that drum.
Well I’ve been playing since closed Alpha, so perhaps you’re right I’ve never been shot at by 20mm that sounds entirely feasible…
There is something to be said about perspective, but I suspect that you’re one of those “it doesn’t happen to me” or better yet “TL:DR skill issue” types, so there is not much point in going further here.
