Replace it with a 105mm Sherman so they get a good counter to the Panzer 3 N

Soo it is balanced that Panzer IV have to aim for tiny weakspot, while Jumbo can pen you anywhere?

I mean, yeah if you aim really well, you can pen the jumbo with pz 4, the problem is that jumbo doesnāt have to aim. By the time you find the right angle and spot for that green cross, jumbo can just casually one shot you. I personally donāt have problem with jumbos since the drivers are usually extremely bad, but when I see one its more of a āboss stageā moment then ātank battleā
- There were no Jumbos in Normandy
- We donāt need more power creep by adding big cats
- The US didnāt encounter any big cats in Normandy so those would be almost as historically inaccurate as the jumbo

@846391 I understand its frustrating but honestly i never had any problems in my panzer IV after 80-90hrs in game maybe i got knocked out twice by a jumbo, iām more annoyed by the scott haha, hopefully weāll get panther soon, they are released on berlin so hopefully it wont be long!
@8383908 US encountered panthers for sure and the Tiger II currently displayed a bovington was recovered in the US sector of normandy (knocked out in august) so most likely yes they encountered massive cats haha
Hey, im not saying i have problem with Jumbos, im saying they are unbalanced. And NO Panthers should be there, we already have Jumbo, we dont need another Powercreep here.
Yup. For some people itās hard to understand that being harder to kill ā hard to kill, but harder to kill does = unbalanced.
Donāt forget churchill is pretty slow, and it could be a problem for players. Normandy is everything but flat, easy to stuck if your engine is not able to get you out of anything. And if you answer me that churchill could still do it, alright, but is it still a good choice for such maps ? I donāt think it has a purpose on normandyās gameplay.
They should just make the US tier 4 tank the M4A3E8 Easy Eight, and donāt give me that ābut muh no Easy Eight at Normandyā BS not every German rifleman at Normandy had an FG42 either but the Germans still have that option.
FG-42 should be moved to LMG class in terms of balance too. But Jumbo is plain OP right now, Sturmpistole is useless against him (unlike classic Sherman you need to target sweetspots in sides and it only ignites Jumbo), only last 2 tanks can reliably penetrate him in SIDES and if Jumbo is being used by a skilled player and he slightly rotates it and moves between reload - good luck winning that duel where PzIV would be a half-tank after 1 hit.
My Jumbo got knocked out tonight by a Premium PZIII. I just could not pen that tank.
The irony is that a moment later, I got into my P-51 and, when I dove down onto a tank marker, let loose with a burst of 50-cal, thinking it was a Puma I was attacking. Nope. It was the same PZIII, and I obliterated it with a few rounds to the top of the turret.
What gives?
