“Just flank it bro”
“Just shoot the tracks bro”
I’m sure you can do the same to any half-decent tanker parked up on the hills of Ver-Sur-Mer or Normandy.
Gee. So you’re telling me to use another vehicle with a limited number of slots max per team, (Which is something f2pers have to make a deliberate choice for given they have exactly 1 vehicle slot), is the solution.
That’s too dependent on the competence of whoever is flying, limited, and frankly, if they end up parked on some spot overlooking the objective with a roof over their heads (like in Airfield), completely impossible.
Name me a German tank or handheld launcher incapable of frontally penetrating the hull of the Jumbo after getting past the Sturmpistole and kwk40-equipped vehicles.
Says the guy shooting a Panther at point blank as an example of “just aim bro”
That would imply there are relatively equal unlocks on both sides, hence “asymmetrical balancing”.
So let me get this straight- To illustrate your point that you can somewhat deal with greyzoning tanks- You use a T-26 who is barely at the edge of the grey zone as a target while running towards at it from the edge of its peripheral vision, and with paper armor you can throw just about anywhere close it it to score a kill, as an example.
You’re doing something that’s the equivalent of an alien abducting a sickly child and saying it is the average human being.
Can you give me a screenshot or a link to someone reputable enough to make this a commitment to put in the game? I’ve been here long enough to understand that expecting good balancing sense from the devs is a fool’s errand.

P47 and HVARs got all nerfed because they were too strong, they are bad now. I hope them make it back roll again.
everyone
could use it they nerfed it so now only skilled players can use it but the 500 lb bomb should do the job just drop it near any German tank and there you go

It’s a Fix, not a Nerf. Rockets before were way stronger than how they were supposed to be, now they are working as intended.

This forum never stops amazing me.
Just flank bro and git gud.
As a matter of fact, we should nerf “getting gud and flanking” because it clearly outclasses even the strongest vehicles in the game.
Seriously tho, can you people pls finally shut up?

Flanking only really works in Stalingrad but the “flanking in Normandy bro” thing is meme at this point.

@Stein_Grenadier Listen dude… There’s all kinds of options for dealing with Grey Zone tanks. Whether or not you’re capable of dealing with the situation, is entirely dependent on your skill and experience level.
-You can use your rocket launcher to try damaging the grey zone tank, and forcing the crew out to repair.
-If you don’t have a good angle with your rocket launcher, you can move to a different position on the map, and try and hit the tank’s weakspot.
-You can spawn in your own tank, and try and kill it that way…
-You can use an aircraft, and blow it up with a 500 pound bomb (The P-47, the P-51, and A-20, each have 500lb bombs that are more than capable of killing an axis tank)
-You can mark the vehicle and ask your teammates for help
-You can avoid the grey-zone tank entirely, by staying out of his line of sight
And if none of these options are viable for you, and the grey-zone tank is ruining your life… Then just quit the match, and find a new game.
Stop being so dramatic lol. It’s not the end of the world if there’s a player who’s camping in his tank. Either deal with it, or find a new match to play.
After all, @Kaeryl_269 already showed you that you can kill panthers from the front

after putting his tank at an angle that would 100% get his armor overmatched by the panzer 4 let alone the panther…yeah don’t listen to him for tanking

He’s in the practice range, so what does the angle of his own tank, have to do with anything? He’s simply showing the OP that the panther can be destroyed from the front.
i’m aware hence why i point that since that angle the panther can overmatch in a live game where ammo is on floor where it will send you back to the respawn screen
Sounds like the american tank needs to learn it’s role, and play it accordingly.
If you know you can’t match up with a panther/tiger in a head-on engagement… then to begin with, don’t put yourself in that type of situation.
If you know you’re up against a heavy axis tank… then flank to a better angle, and shoot it from the side.
Use building as cover
Pull foward, fire a round, and then reverse behind cover.
Reload.
Wait a few seconds.
Rinse and repeat until the Axis armor is destroyed.
It’s not that complicated to figure out.

I carry both 76mm and the jumbo for this exact purpose though the reason why i point out how that person angle is to show that he has little idea on how american tanks should be which proofs to me that he is still a wehraboo after all this time of not showing
And luckily maps such as D-Day are known for flanking and protected spawns

Oh fuck off.
Im pretty sure the reason why you use the Jumbo is the same reason people use the Tiger and Panther and not the Panzer IV J.
Because they are so hardly playable.

Yeah the D-Day map has a ton of nooks and small areas for tanks to use as cover, and to maneuver around the terrain. If DF manages to fix the issue with vehicles traversing up slopes and inclines, the gameplay for tankers would be alot more fun.
Allied tanks on the D-Day map are notoriously known for sitting back and camping on the beach, or around the concrete seawalls, and spamming HE on the hills.
Meanwhile, the axis tanks have uphill advantage and a greater field of view to spam HE… but the vehicles are easy prey for allied aircraft, and allied vehicles that are using bunkers/terrain for concealment.

uh no actually, i started with the m4a2 because of it being more mobile, i didn’t switch to the jumbo til after the panther came out and for that summer i was actually taking out jumbos with the panzer 3n

A sterile environment where you are at leisure to pick what angle you shoot from, at what range, and without getting shot at is not representative of how you actually fight in the field.
My brother in hell, you’re missing the point.
I’m not saying you can’t counter it, nor am I asking for how- I’ve played too many games at this point. You’re free to offer your advice to people who are new to the game, and I’m inviting you to look at my post history to see how long I’ve been stuck in this game.
To spell it out for you, who clearly needs to be spoonfed information you seem to be incapable of analyzing:
What we have now is not future-proof, which is the entire point of this thread.
“Just flank it bro” or “get better” is a retarded argument when the topic at hand concerns unlocks in a post-merge environment, not a “Guys I need help I’m being clubbed uwu”
Applying “hurr dur, just apply skill” will only work under the assumption that whoever else is on the enemy team isn’t as equally skilled as you are, so bringing up skill is moot when the other side goes “Git gud” in response to feedback in what is a clear imbalance.
At equal skill level, the tiebreaker will be equipment.
Compare what options the german side has with what options the US has for dealing with a tank problem.
“Oh no, a Jumbo has shown up”
I just need to use:
- Panzerfaust 60
- Panzerfaust 100 (post-merge)
- Ofenruhr
- Panzer IV F2 (Just apply skill to MG port/cupola)
- Panzer IV G (Just apply skill to MG port/cupola)
- Panzer IV J (Just apply skill to MG port/cupola)
- Panzer IV H (Just apply skill to MG port/cupola)
- Jagdpanzer IV (post-merge)
- Jagdpanzer IV L/70
- Panther A
- Panther G
- Tiger I E
- Tiger II (P) (post-merge)
- Tiger II (H) (post-merge)
- Planes
Note that none of these require you to actually flank the tank to destroy it, and anything with more armor than a Panzer IV will straight up be frontally immune to the Jumbo, letting them wail on it with impunity.
Tanks with guns that are equipped with the kwk42 or bigger do not even need to aim anywhere specific because they can just go through the hull armor.
Oh no, a Panther G has shown up
Uh shit, I got:
- M9 Bazookas
- M4A1 (76) W
- M4A2 (76) W
- M10 Molverine
- M18 Hellcat
- Jumbo (Premium, with the APCR shells)
- Sherman Firefly (Premium)
- Just flank it bro
(TM) - Planes
Note that apart from planes, none of them are capable of just penetrating them through the hull, and must, by necessity, shoot the turret.
Now let’s introduce the Tiger II (H) and have them fight a US team:
- Planes
- Just flank it bro
(TM)
Man, I’m glad even some of the most insane forum dwellers have the common sense to avoid using the “Just flank it bro” argument after having beaten it to death for two years, but you seem like a fresh face.
