German players are constantly massacred by American tanks and planes, without any height countermeasures, German planes are far inferior to US ones, and German takes are very vulnerable to US planes armed with rockets
use a fighter
What level are you at? Both sides.
Stg, fg, Definitely not over powered, better vehicles for USA, better infantry for Germany. Balance at its finest
That’s just a fact of life in this game Germans suck at low level at end game they can ruin everyone’s lives that’s how the developers balance out things make the Germans miserable at low level but when they reach end game everyone suffers
just wait until the merge so you wont be out numbered in matches anymore (Im 100% sure that you lost most of your matches because enemy team had more players)
If anything the German tanks are better than the American tanks with more armor, and better guns.
The American planes are easier to use and learn to operate, but with some skill, the German planes can be much better.
The issue is that the Sturmpistole thing is completely useless. I know, I know, you can watch videos of people getting one or two kills with it when they are in exactly the right place right next to the tank and the tank is not paying attention and there is no enemy infantry anywhere near the tank watching what you are doing, then you can maybe hit a weak spot on the lowest tier American tank before blowing yourself up, but it is practically useless.
The Panzerfaust 60 should be a way lower unlock, around level 12 or maybe level 15 max, Berlin has it right, but in Normandy its at like level 30 and then unlock the Ohenfohr thing almost right afterwards which is all messed up. Granted all of it is changing with the merge, but it is really strange trying to level up Normandy after doing Berlin and it is so lopsided in favor of the allies, with tanks being able to grey zone camp and hammer defense points on maps like D-Day, and the only countermeasure being pilots who are competent enough to fly all the way around and hit the tanks hidden in the greyzone cliffs.
Also the cap times are so quick that as soon as I die on a defense point, I know its lost because the allies get tickets so fast on invasion. Its a mixture of refreshing challenge after Berlin and annoyance at team mates that are not staying on points or not doing basic stuff like building rallies/all the usual complaints. I think there are lots of new players or very casual/drunk/high players on Normandy axis.
You don’t really need neither of those. Since there’s explosive pack in the game. And every soldier can carry it.
Germans have:
Tigers and Panthers
Very good cannons on all tanks
FG 42
High capacity machine guns MG34 and MG42
Very good SMGS MP40, ZK383, Beretta M38 and STG44
Bf110 G2(WWII version of A10 Warthog)
Ju188 with 6 250kg bombs
So I think it’s more of a population problem than equipment
Sturmpistole is actually OK, it’s not going to penetrate from the front, but it shouldn’t just like most other AT rounds, since that’s where armour is thickest. You have 5 shots with it, it’s got very predictable ballistics so you can easily aim it, and you shouldn’t be using it point blank so you blow yourself up, that’s not the point of long range AT weapons.
Quite frankly if you’re close enough to hurt yourself from the splash damage you ought to be placing TNT on the tank, since that’s almost always a 1 hit kill. Even with the Panzerfaust unlocked, I still take TNT in all my german squads and will preferentially use that, rather than risking the attracting attention by using long range AT weapons.
I agree that tanks sitting out of bounds is a super big problem, but I think that’s better fixed by extending the attacker/defending bounds to be equal, so infantry with enough effort can sneak up on tanks far away from the battle and TNT 1 shot them. That restriction is super lame and is the only real cause of the problems.
Ju 188 was decent.
But now you cant play it. They didn
t fix the bugged rear gunners for month now. So i don`t play Normandy at the moment.
But Normandy is much better balanced than Tunisia.
Still better than months ago when theyndid randomly jumped out of plane after spawning.
Or doing stuff like this:
So it’s still progress.
