Normandy SUCKS!

Normandy sucks if your assaulting, then, Dark Force kicked us in the nuts again by giving us FOUR Bunkers to take. I don’t remember having to take four bunkers for Normandy, but this all but guarantee’s the defender a victory unless the attackers are a stacked group and the defenders are newbies.

If were forced to play Normandy, then for Pete sake, don’t make THREE BUNKERS as cap points. :expressionless: Of course, 2/3 of the time the attackers don’t even take the first bunker, so what do I know.

From the beginning of the map you always need took 3 bunker or two bunker and one house when you attack

Actually, there were four bunkers to take and the windmill, not three bunkers as I previously stated, so I missed one. :yum: We took all four bunkers, but after getting reinforced had just over 100 dudes so there was no way to take the windmill. But like I said earlier, 2/3 of the time the game ends on the first bunker off the beach.

  • You have 3 possible bunker on the beach as first point
  • two bunker and an House as possible second point
  • A bunker obligatory as third point
  • A bunker or an House as fourth point
  • A warehouse or a windmill as fifth point

Those are the combination for each point and is random, but more or less two/three bunkers and one/two house seems be the preferred choice for the first 3/4 points

These were the bunkers we had to take, and this is the first time I have had all four of these in one game. However, like I said earlier 2/3 of the games are over on the first beach bunker. The windmill I guessed the location and I know I am off with it on the map, but I think you know what windmill I am talking about. Anyway, it was brutal trying to take four bunkers against a competent opposition. :blush:

I don think its depends on BR. On low BR its at least possible to play the map. On high BR it becomes an explosion spam fest and becomes sort of impossible to play

This was BR2

BRII is better, but is stil horrible :joy:

Point 2 is a tiny concrete pillbox next to a house.
The 5th objective you crossed out is a hill bunker that has never been an objective.
The windmill is between the shelled out house and a small town.

You labeled the objectives incorrectly.


I don’t see any arguments for this thread other than “4/5s of the objectives are bunkers, therefore the map is defender-biased.”

Did you just have a single bad game against people who knew what they were doing, then shamelessly made a forum post to whine about it instead of accepting the loss?

Use smoke and terrain and make sure your teammates are not idiots

Actually the rest of the Normandy maps are good but this one is just bad without paras… but if you are attacking with US you better have a lot of rocket spammers :smiley:

Yes, I know that, which is why I said I had probably marked incorrectly, but I think people knew what I was trying to point out. :grinning:

I really like this map Germany always has the advantage on the beaches with the MG bunkers but Americans can advance easily if proper team work is used. I love D-Day map any Normandy battles are my favourite ones.

Whine about the loss? Am I whining about the loss, or stating that there shouldn’t be four bunkers as cap points. There is a difference, and if you don’t think that having to capture four bunkers is not extremely defender friendly, well then your an idiot. :rofl: From the sounds of your tone, that’s probably not far from the truth. Both sides were fairly evenly matched, and this is the “FIRST TIME” in my almost 3 years that I have ever seen FOUR bunkers as cap points.

If I were whining, it would have been whining about the 75% of the games played here where the game ends on the first bunker. :rofl:

Im not gonna lie i held the whole beach off in 1 bunker without even dying once. Usually America struggles to capture the first point. Them bunkers are OP but it was like that in real life i guess. The way i see it is if alles capture the first bunker they win the game once they can pass that point.

I wasn’t complaining about the game itself, I was complaining that their shouldn’t be four bunker cap points on Normandy. :wink:

I play mostly Axis now but Allies, Soviets and a small amount with Japan as well. Almost 1,900 games with Allies and around 1,650 with Axis.
