Yeah… in T-50 I often feel practicaly invincible and while it is not always one shot-kill, I have no problems destroying axis tanks en masse.
While the amount of effort I need to take when playing axis to take out a single t-50 is simply riddiculous.
Unless I can flank that thing, I do not use tank at all if I see them being active on the battlefield, because I would just feed the meatgrinder further with no real impact.
It is much easier to take them out with TNT or direct stuka on it (assuming there is one).
Just like most common soviet smg that i encounter is ppd box. most opponents are low levels no matter if playin axis or soviets.
Ofcourse we are talking weapons and not overall balance. Cause some other ‘mystical things’ also affect balance like how axis get more tickets and cap points faster…
edit: this just one patch that nerfed allies across board while buffing axis
No, no and no.
Game wise, it’s recoil is too large to be useful as full auto while sniping. And just bacause it can fire full auto doesn’t mean it’s locked to it. There is a switch firing mode button for a reason.
IRl wise, no. The original idea was to use the full auto, but it was found in trials that it’s near useless. It’s the reason why rifles like this never lasted long. They were impractical, as the large full sized rifle round created too much recoil when used from the shoulder in a relatively light infantry rifle.
It’s main benefit is that the full auto mode allows the sniper to actually fight back properly when forced into close quarters.

I find the drum variant more often than the box. And fact is, the avrage russian level is at least 5 levels above the axis.
Yet this was done because the axis were losing too much. And that’s precisely because of the bad weapons, especially at low tiers. As not only do the weapons cause balance issues themselvs, they turn players away. So the soviets end up with both better guns and players.
I¨m not saying stuff like this is a great solution, it’s not, but something kinda needed to happen, otherwise the situation would only get worse.
yeh il2 is better at a2a but that’s not too important in enlisted and not what you need from a ground attack craft.
nah. those rockets are trash and you have to be super accurate with 50kg if you want to kill anything. 500kg… much less so. theres also the starter stuka if you want more bombs but smaller payload, and 2x250kg just makes the 110 so much better (that one does have autocannons).
of which Russian biplanes gets asw along with extra 2 mg mounted compared to the german one that gets 2 50kg bombs which is a fair trade but those extra 2 guns is def not. Already from the start the Russians gets an advantage in the air along with smgs. Ppds are really capable of taking down squads pretty fast when facing them head on in my experience
i respectfully disagree, from my experience rockets are much more effective than large bombs
Eh. Rockets are good and allow you to keep pressure on the frontline and halt advances, but 2x250kg can decimate tanks and give you multi kill x17s. Overall though, I’d say a 250kg is worth around 6-8 rockets.
Yes, the case is completely different here.
Gold order Panther in Berlin is pretty much a savior of anyone who ever tried to play with “I explode if anything looks in my general direction IV.”
Gold order t-50 can much rather be compared to what would happen if premium jumbo was available before panther was released
That is true, however, comparing panther in Normandy to panther in Berlin is false since T-34 is perfectly capable of destroying it frontally, while most US tanks simply cannot.
also berlin is in general much more hostile to tanks
because of all the destroyed buildings it easier to sneak up on a tank and the literally first AT weapon you get is a panzerfaust
Best tank in Normandy because the Americans can’t punch at that weight level
The Soviets can however and the Panther’s shortcomings like horrible gun handling come to light
I stuck with the PzIV until the Tiger was added and am much much happier for it
