Sorry for the rant but what is it with this US weak as hell weapons vs the german amazing war machine? Our AT weapons are like toy guns against their tanks yet theirs 1-hit even Jumbo. Our tanks compared to theirs are so darn weak, no matter where I shoot their Tigers and Panthers I cant kill them…yet my Jumbo is always 1-hit for them. Is all this supposed to achieve historical accuracy or is there another reason for it? Sorry if this seems like crying but I wish I could turn back time and I’d rather grind the germans rather than the US with their airsoft armament.

Just remember the pain of Normandy with the Panzer 4 versus jumbo in the past and the American strength is in their air power not their tanks

You can understand America’s advantage from Germany’s complaints
Rockets are still kind of cursed in some ways so the Germans complaints are kind of reasonable and if Japan starts complaining about the Rockets as well they have even more reason to worry because they have less covering in their maps

Us at weapon are far from weak, bazooka and piat can kill effectly all tank, from pz2 to the panther, but they lack power for have chance again tiger 1 and 2 and premium super heavy german tank, anyway developers are aware of this and sooner or later something would change

M9 took out my KT(H) (I’m tired, I play vehicles when tired!) transmission yesterday, definitely not bad!
Then a bomb came…
Boom the cat! 
Well, bazooka it’s supposed to flank tanks
And in br4 You have 2 options
The heavy jumbo, or the 76w series who can destroy tigers

I was flanking a Pz. IV H, I believe it was…I fired 3 shots with PIAT at the sides and didn’t blow it up nor kill any crew members. When using the Jumbo…my only chance is to fire at the sides or back is that right? From reading the forums I’ve understood (not sure if correctly) that the german tanks weak spots are the sides and the back?
Sounds like my WT experience
Have you tried the P-47?
You clearly havent unlocked the p47 or used the jumbo pre merge
Will we get new anti tank weapons?
Not yet, I am still about 122k XP away from the P-47 and my premium ended so progress is slow. I have unlocked the one before it though with HVAR rockets and it was awesome…although recently it seems enemy pilots have attached radars and 50.cal with tracking rounds on their plane.
So American small arms and American tanks are…ok compared to the competition. I do believe our Rifleman weapons can compete. Our SMG’s do lack in some areas, but I love the Thompson’s nonetheless. Our LMG’s are top tier and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Our tanks are mediocre when they have to fight enemy paper tanks. In reality Sherman’s could take on Big Cats with few issues. Especially with their numbers. In video games the strengths of the Sherman evaporate into mist and the weaknesses of Russian and German tanks cease to exist. Solid IRL, horrible in games. Nature of the beast unfortunately. Our planes are the best. We can dogfight in almost all of them to an extent and we can drop more warheads on foreheads than anyone else. The P-47 is probably one of the earliest examples of a multirole aircraft with great ordinance for the ground and solid performance to shoot down enemy planes
Play to your strengths. I have an all round loadout I use in every faction because no matter what my game plan remains the same. Show up and improvise Be Default Aggressive. I use Assaulter Squad, MG Squad, and AT Squad to constantly hammer objective. I also have a plane to deal with those gray zone tanks. I always have 3 goals. Put bodies on objective, stack bodies on the cold dirt, and deprive the enemy of nice things (aka armor support)
If I’m not attacking objective, I’m hunting tanks. If I’m not hunting tanks, I’m attacking objective. And stacking bodies the entire time I do both. I have Engies in 2 squads both for their respective guns and to place rally points, Radio Ops in 2 squads for extra “screw this grid coordinate in particular,” and AT Gunners in all 3 squads because I like to be prepared (MG Squad has all 3)
But, this is just my set up. I find it works extraordinarily well for my playstyle and it is the best for a combination of versatility and firepower. I love the Thompson’s my guys use, I love both the BAR (M1918A2) and the M1919A6, the Garand is serviceable, and the M2 Carbine gets the job done. The M9 is the best AT Weapon in the game, fight me. Sure the Panzerfaust may have more pen, but is it a rocket? No? Then shut up. And no, imitation M1 doesn’t count either. M9 superiority

Thank you for that feedback! I also have 1 Assault, MG and AT squad. I just need to find the right soldiers to put in them and unlock some more higher tier weapons for riflemen.

Keep at it dude. Thankfully this game is super easy to get a handle on that even a mediocre gamer like me can do really well in it

If you have spare gold orders, take the t20e. It’s really good.

Oh I have one. I had 4 gold orders and was so stupid to order 3 Farquahrs…I regret it so bad…I have the vertical recoil perk and it sucks so bad. I am so happy though I ordered also i T20 because I wish I had ordered 4 of them…amazing weapon since it is automatic and recoil is so easy to control. Can even take out enemies farther away with auto mode. Will definately buy more of it in the future if I am lucky enough to get gold orders somehow.

War machine?
Dude if you are too weak to play BR5 you better go low
And I don’t mean US is weak:
-Having the Best CAS
-Best Rifleman AR
-Best Shotgun
-Paratrooper spam
-Tanks are underpowered so you need to actually aim to kill big cats
We have neither Assault Rifle nor Auto Rifle other than the BAR
M2 Carbine is an AR in performance
