That number goes up from 357 to 1248, i repeat
357 to 1248, what the hell is this. My team was doing so well holding them off until the 3rd control point where we keep holding them off, the number was around 600 if I remember and it keeps going down, and down, but it also keeps going up because there’s an American plane, but when it reaches 400, thinking there are not many barrage balloons left, I walk out of the hangar and see still many barrage balloons are still flying, I didn’t really mind it and go back defending. When my squad dies, I go into the Ju 188 to do bombings when suddenly the number INCREASES by 900 ( not immediately increases obviously, took like 25 seconds ) And yeah, we lost. But for what, hot damn it would be a good match for me if we won. What is this barrage balloon reinforcement tomfoolery? I mean sure if the devs think the map is easy to be won by the axis so they add barage balloons that can give more reinforcements, I can see why. But by THIS MUCH? and the number can exceed 1000? what the hell is this.
I really want them to nerf the barrage balloon, not removing it my not be a problem because it kinda pushes plane around when they’re gonna bomb and i see that as quite fair, but please. Just nerf them with the reinforcement.
I played for USA yesterday and we had 1600 + 
such biased game sorry but germany is not worth playing in normandy anymore
not wrong unless you like good infantry weapons
I don’t think the developpers play their own game since nothing has changed about that since the release of Airfield, they even increased drastically the tickets earned around 450 each time you take a points like it wasn’t enough, And i’m not even talking about the thousands tickets from balloons.
This invasion is unwinnable agains’t a team with just 2 good players because they have the right to an almost unlimited numbers of errors. They can drop from 1000 to 200 tickets, they will still gain 450 tickets after taking a point, so : 200 + 450 = 650 tickets then add the triple cheese balloons supplement and you have the tickets for almost 3 games
I found the trick here…destroy the balloons yourself. If you do that the enemy cant use them for reinforcement.
Except you gave them yourself the tickets with that trick, that’s why it’s wrote “protect the objectives” and not “destroy” lol
Allies get the reinforcements no matter who destroys them.
There seems to be a sliding scale - they get more reinforcements if htey are doing badly.
Prior to this being introduced the airfield map was 80-90% win for axis.
Since it has arrived it is 50/50 for me as allies in a half-dozen games.
Seems like it is balanced now.
Feel the same about the map. It is a drawn out slog of a map if all the balloons get used but that makes it so much fun to me. 45 min matches with loads of tactics that need to be used on both sides. There are more than a few points where US can get hard stuck.
Indeed - it does goive an opportunity for some decent tactical play - an opportunity that most players seem to manage to ignore tho!
Mostly the extra allied reinforcements seem to be extra XP for the axis defenders!
