Normandy Balancing (At least for Axis)

Remove both jumbo and panther is what I prefer with Sherman 105 replacing jumbo and Jagdpanzer 4 replacing panther, though that is not possible so we should provide an incentive to playing allies; maybe a 100% or 150% exp booster for a set amount of time, another thing we could do is reward them with a free allied gold order weapon or vehicle, this could be applied to any underpopulated side like axis Tunisia

All of them combined are not more attractive than a single level with T-29

But it would prevent powercreep while being somewhat attractive

Axis has yet to get the non sniper FG42 II in Normandy alongside the obvious Tiger while Allies have yet to get a drum mag Thompson and the 76mm Jumbo. Most likely only the most dedicated players will ever get these because of a very high level requirement.

You are thinking of the wrong T-29, the American T-29 was a prototype heavy tank which one was made before the end of the war IIRC, and under 10 were made total and they never saw combat.
However a heavy tank with a dedicated AA machine gun would be pretty memey

It’s not T-29, it’s T29 since America does not hyphenate ground equipment names while Russia does as an example this is t - 34 from Russia

And this is the American T34

just like your Germany suffers thread

P 38 one shots any german plane while 110 has to mag dump all for a single A20.
Sureeeee.

The Tiger mythos. Worse than the Panther in all aspects except turret armor. Yeah. Lets give the Germans placeboos. Its THE final solution after all.

Anways this thread feels so bait, that even woodyman-whatever wrote better FG-bitching threads.

Ok, then just give me it instead of the panther
Once again, the problem is solved by the mighty tiger!

OF course it will be. Its the final solution. It already works in Berlin and in WT. It was just a small reminder on the Tiger myth from WT.

That is a lie, I’ve cut tails with the 110 and the while one shot thing is called being pilot snipped

You need to figure out how to play with the tiger, on average I have 13-17 tank kills with it. not counting the crew members.

Only because the 37mm is decent. But none of 13mm, 20mm is as good as the 12,7mm MG of the yanks.

it’s also the 30mms doing it, and .50s only work so well because there are more of them while the germans only have 3 but DM is equally fucked for both sides

Its easier in Berlin than in Normandy because the wrecked cars etc. protect the pen. hull while the rng-turret doesnt require protection.
Normady is Mustafar most of the time for Germans. Also… Germans already have better guns and partly better armor (good enough if angled). And being slow isnt necessary good there looking at the Jumbo unless you prefer to camp.

Well my stats say 2.3k killed alone in Tiger on Berlin at just 109 losses. And I usually dont drive into the streets but drive onto tactical positions that gives me:
A) hiding, so to spot enemy per usual before they see me
B) harder to be bombed from air support

Maybe I should do Videos about how to outsmart people with tactics :thinking:

Sigh, a lot of people claims I’m baiting or just being a general ‘GIVE TIGER REEEEEEEEEE’, but they missed the ENTIRE point. I appreciate many of your feedbacks (Such as P-38 being just crazier than Bf 110 etc) but I’m also completely speechless over how someone could even claim ‘Bf 110 is better than P-47D’. I’m convinced THEY are just trolling.

The reason why I think that Axis should get a Tiger H1 instead of a Panther is because we know that Tiger is frontally penetrable in both hull and turret more than Panther does, which would make adding Tiger later on (Probably campaign level 40 or something, we don’t know how Darkflow rationally think) it would be kinda ‘obsolete’ as Panther CURRENTLY has impenetrable frontal hull and the turret is still kinda strong to even pen, you need an M10 or Firefly to take it out with any lesser Allies tank being screwed big time. The other reason is the fact that Sherman Firefly was made to counter Tiger and Panthers, so I just don’t see why Firefly should had been a non-premium with a Tiger as its opponent.

Though, with Darkflow’s buggy penetration mechanic that could make a warship cannon AP fails to penetrate a Stuart, Tiger’s armor hitbox might be insane. Is it? I don’t play Berlin.

Also, FOR GOD SAKE. The jumbo was an obvious problem BEFORE Panther was even released, how are you justifying something broken since the game F2P release over the Panther that was added almost entirely a year later? “We need M1 Abram and A-10 Warthogs on Normandy on campaign level 1 because they will have Panther on level 30. It’s not fair.” Like what’s the logic behind this???

But since we have the Panther here, it’s kinda true that despite many players here seems to think “HURRR DURR DURR M10 CAN COUNTER PANTHER EASILY BUT PANTHER IS STILL TOTALLY OP THATS WHY WE NEED BETTER TANKS” Which is kinda… doesn’t makes sense, as they claim Panther is OP and super good for Germans and that’s why they need better stuffs, but at the same time they claim what they have (The M10) is already good enough to counter it… It’s kinda confusing, really. As if they don’t know what they want.

Anyway, yeah. I’m thinking that Allies should get a Pershing at the very least.

It IS kinda disgusting. It has the shot deviation of an SMG for a rifle at semi-auto. It’s just horrible. I guess it’s for the sake of balance, but it makes the FG42 more viable and ammo efficient for close quarters than being a ‘sniper’ weapon. G43 and Kar98K wins big time.

I don’t want the Tiger just because ‘MUH AXIS HAVE TO HAVE TIGER’, it’s just too much of a jump to get the Panther. It has better frontal armor, better penetration, lighter, and faster. It was also far cheaper to produce than the over-engineered Tiger. I can imagine that you’ll get a Tiger H1 first then later a Panther variant, if it’s the other way around, it’s like being given “Hey, here’s an M41 Bulldog at level 21. And, oh. You can unlock the Chaffee at level 30! Isn’t that great?”

Seriously, don’t disregard this as just another Axis rant instantly. Allies dominates the sky with their CAS and Jumbo swarm. Not a lot of players has reached level 30+ to even get an M10, M1 Thompsons, MP-43 and Panthers. They make up like, 10% of the playerbase? You can’t justify something broken early on where the majority of the playerbase is over something that players can obtained VERY MUCH MUCH MUCH later. Take this from the guy who always gets #1 Leaderboard and 5k+ points. Without premium or booster, every victory you get + MVP multiplier only gets you 10-15k EXP/match, and obviously much less if you are the average player with only 1-2k at the end of every match- Cough console players. It’s just stupidly unfair.

Always hide behind buldings, yeah. Good job. We don’t have that much buildings in Normandy as it’s all towns and outdoor fields. So everything gets bombed to oblivion nonstop.
