Tips for detpacks:
Best places generally to cook first then throw them are -
Under the tank
On top of the tank near the back
Very close to the tracks on the side
If you cook it properly and aim properly you can kill any tank with 1 det pack.

Solid advice (even though I know about it, others might need it). Thing is I usually don’t have time to aim it properly, either because the tank is looking at me or because there are enemies with direct line of sight to it.
But I think armor needs a rework either way, mainly because of how unpredictable it is. AT weapons and other tanks/AT guns do weird things a lot of the time even if they penetrate, the same shot can either 1-shot or do barely anything to a tank. Detpacks are a lot more reliable but if they explode next to a tank at least the tracks should be damaged if not destroyed.

Problem is only that some people who play Germans, solely play Germans. Like me. I will not touch the Yanks anymore.
Yet you also have maxxed out Allied players, never seen a German player complain about only having Puma to face 2 Jumbos and 1 P-47 at the same time. Hmm…

this is not politics and/or economics.
It’s entertainment.
I vote no for battle ratings but battle yes for skill based match making as most of the times I find the players just retarded. Problem is that the devs keep to themselves and are not engaging community.
I have reasonable doubt to think that normandy is now filled with bots in almost every game instead of players as the behaviour and k/d ratio is just fishy. For me this game is dead because they dilluded it between 4 campaigns and did absolutely nothing to balance the lobby.
New players leave because they get facefucked and good players leave beacuse they just stomp and grow bored of it.
If there is no thrill of winning/loosing the battle it gets boring eventually
Let the newbies play with newbies, let the hardcores play with hardcores. As it is a skilled player with bolt action rifle can make a difference, and while its an uphil battle it is still doable.
Also about people crying about FG42, theres that:
Gewehr max stars > FG42 max stars, any day.
Garand is sick weapon too, i gonna probably max out allies normandy and record every game of usa players not building any spawn points, but just taking sniper squads and camping like no tomorrow

There are just not enough players in the game right now. Would you prefer sitting in queue for 15 minutes and then being told there were no allied players found? Back in the days when War Thunder only had planes there were many bots in the teams aswell because they lacked a big enough playerbase. Enlisted is the same, if we want to get rid of bots we need more players and if the current players want to play more than 2 battles a day we need bots for now. Skill based matchmaking can come once we have enough players at each skill level that we don’t need to wait 17 hours for 1 battle.
Also I don’t think the 4 campaigns is the problem, I actually enjoy the diversity that these 4 campaigns provide and I have more stuff to grind (even if some of them are the same as in another campaign). Each and every campaign provides a different environment that compliments different playstyles. For example, bolt action snipers feel great in Moscow, but I wouldn’t really use them in Normandy simply because of how the maps play out.
TL;DR: Give it some time, the game was still in CBT when this year started. Even WT wasn’t full of players when it was in the first few years of it’s OBT.

Gotta stay calm when under fire my friend. Ignore the enemies most of them are bots and always try to flank the tank so he can’t see his impending doom.
I agree armour damage models for planes and tanks could use improvements. However I feel like this is more of an issue in tank vs tank combat or with AT rifles than with det packs. I have zero issue blowing up tanks with det packs.
Track damage from AT packs is definitely a thing but the times that it doesn’t work us usually when the tank driver has some time to react and angle the tank frontal armour against the grenade blast hence why you must become a TNT MASTER CHEF.

Try to aim better, literally every hit from the PIAT for a panther ends up destroying the tank.
And you still gonna win, unless you face me)
Agree with that. I started playing only this month only and when I was in the german side, I could kill tons of bots with the Puma which ust ignore the Puma and keep going strait. None of them can throw explosives. It was just boring especially when you cannot cap objective. So I give up playing german.
I havent started upgrading out the squad nor the guns. My next objective.
Just unlocked the Jumbo, got tracks damages in orange and still can move. It needs to be red statuts maybe to not work but these are not fragile enough. Unfortunately, in my experience, the tank start smoking but still can run away. But I understand this might not enjoyable for a lot of players. BF5 or Cod doesn’t have that. HLL got this mechanic better implemented

It’s a different game dude. Accept it. Figure out tactics to win and enjoy.
There will likely be an influx of new players into Normandy and Tunisia with the game being released to old consoles.
Depends on the player I see tanks I think ooh annoying threat to my team and nice chunk of XP for me and I try to get them off the field ASAP.

I had few matches ago one guy hitting me 3x from less then 2m away with PIAT, nothing happend and the finish was glorious. 83 kills, 8 tanks, 0 death.
One of the problem when there is not enough players is that we end up with static bots on the beach not moving to the objective.
But at least here the game start. I remember in Forgotten hope 2, when you cannot play during weekday because of lack of players. Only one server available, the second one was almost never filled enough to start.
Sometimes this happens (as with any tanks), but the panther is vulnerable from the sides and almost always explodes from being hit there. I’ve been through this dozens of times already.
Yes or when a Detonation Pack lands infront of you 1m and you still explode, meanwhile Jumbo or Berlins T-34s would be fine.
Jumbo sides are much better protected from grenade launchers. the ammo rack is located in the center of the hull. Not so with the panther.

joking.Another problem is that too many american players quit mid-match when seeing Mp43/1 and Panther in the match. I even saw 8 of 10 them quit once.
I m probably one of them when I play us
