Currently tank trees in normandy are very badly balanced, not fun to play. Often times there are tanks that are literally invincible: Panther G, Jumbo.
So here’s my solution:
Allies:
Level 2: M3 Lee. ( It could kill the german tanks but would be outclassed)
Level 10: M4A2 sherman. (M8 is completely useless right not, doesnt compete with any axis tank)
Level 15: M10 volverine. (having a tank destroyer early could help to deal with stronger tanks later on)
Level 20: M4A3 (105) Sherman. (This would be a good counter to any german tank and would have very good HE power, but long reload.)
Level 31: M4A3E8 (76). An upgunned sherman that could deal with any German tank with ease.
Axis:
Level 2: Sd.kfz.234/2 (Puma) This is fine, it can deal with any tank thanks to superior mobility)
Level 10: PZ4J. Can deal with any US tank, Bad turret traverse as a compensation.
Level 15: Hetzer. Could deal with any US tank while having a amazing roof mounted machinegun
Level 20: PZ4H, a better version of the 4J with a better turret traverse
Level 31: Im sorry cant think of anything that could replace the panther. Please help me here.
Giving US tanks APHE Would also be necessary, and it is right now.
I doubt the devs will do anything about this. They have never change campaign unlocks yet.
No one will remove your stuart. You will still have it. And a new player could chose it over the lee if hed like but its obvious that the stuart is not a very good tank
I beg to differ. As a lvl 2 tank it’s one of the best available of it’s size all campaigns together. It’s strenght is it’s maneuverability. Puma is better sure, but that doesn’t make Stuart weak…
The rest of the list I really can’t argue aside from the Lee being meh, just put the Stuart or Greyhound there really
Hetzer is a bad choice thanks to Normandy’s maps since it doesn’t have too much gun depression, past that I can’t argue it.
Yes, it would be great but I don’t think they implement it because of the community itself since they will complain about not being able to defeat the Tiger with a cannonball
Here’s my problem with all this: your suggestions would be fine if this was a tank vs tank game. But it isn’t. I’d argue anti-infantry effectiveness is a higher priority than anti-tank, because it allows your team to push no matter how heavily fortified a location is and infantry can deal with any tank given the opportunity. However, the opportunity is where the real problem lies since most tanks in Normandy like to stay well within the gray zone. This means you have no other choice but to either get a higher level tank on the field or use an aircraft which might or might not destroy the tank.
M8 can punch the Panther with its HEAT
Its HE is also absolutely fantastic
Your crew will get sniped off, but if you stay far back you can still do work
That would only happen once again if the devs refuse to give the allies a tank that can actually handle it
not naming any other big cats in normandy
I’d argue the Tiger is weaker than the Panther. Sure, the Tiger has better post-pen damage and reverse speed, but other than that the Panther has a lot more advantages.
I kept the Scott becasue I like it in War Thunder, and the Stug A is a pretty good counterpart, so thats why I kept it. I Initially had Hetzer in the place of the Jagdpanzer, but after some one corrected me and told me that Hetzer was exclusively eastern front, I switched it to a Jadgpanzer IV.
So you’re trying to tell me the Panther isn’t indestructible when properly angled? Then why do I see so many allies players complain about the Panther? At least the Panther has angled armor so it’s more effective.
