Alright this is gonna be a long one so apologies in advance, I already asked what was everyones favorite aircraft, I’m throwing this question out here because I’m bored and would like to see which are collectively favorited by the community.
Top 2 + honorable mentions would be would be:
The Starter Sherman in Normandy, it’s just a classic that can hold its own with lower leveled vehicles until you encounter a Panther or Tiger, you also grow to love it if you obtained the Sherman Bomb when you started the campaign instead of having to use the Stuart.
The P-40 Premium Squad in Tunisia (I don’t play Stalingrad so I haven’t used it in that campaign) even though it’s bomb load is buttcheeks has easily became my favorite fighter, the 6x 50 cals easily tear up the best of the Axis aircraft if you know where to aim and the 2x 100 lbs bombs are a little small but can destroy groups of infantry if you find where their path is and exploit it and finally I have the “Sea Predator” decal so I just had to see what it would look like on the P-40.
(Honorable mentions)
The Valentine
The P-51D-5
The M4A2 Sherman 76
The SBD Dauntless
The Calliope
Jagdpanther because it is nearly invincible from the front except from the SU100,
Tiger 2 P, slightly weaker than the Jagdpanther but invulnerable if you angle the turret, Oh and the Pak 43 oneshots everything anywhere.
2.5 (Because i forgot to add it in but I love this thing), the Panzer 4/70 V, both the premium and Normandy version, it is essentially a Stug with a panther gun and MG, oh and it’s basically a mini Jagdpanther in terms of invulnerability from my experience. Very nice tank.
IS2 because I like its big fuck off gun.
Matilda because it’s got really good armour and it’s my fav allied tank so yea.
Valentine because it’s British and the stuff it fights can’t really kill it (apart from Panzer 4F2)
SU100 because it has good armour like SU85 and it has a gun that can one shot any German tank in the game (or that they could add in the future, e.g Tiger 2 H or Elephant, or even Jagdtiger).
then :
Dicker max
su-76
jagdpanther
Normandy Premium FW
Berlin FW
Berlin Premium BF (30 mm 2x cannons just demolish every single plane in miliseconds)
Caliope
From most to “least” favorite
P-51D-5
P-40E-1 (Russian one, I don’t have the Tunisia premium)
P-38J-15
76mm Sherman (both)
Chi Ha Kai
LVT(A)(1)
Ka Mi
Fw 190A8
Panzer III J1
Sherman 1944, Bt 7A F-32, Daimler Armored car, Staghound and Crusader III ( more for the looks and/or being iconic rather than being efficent, but you know )
Literally the only reason why I plan on getting the Stalingrad Full Access Pack is to get the P-40, its 1x 500 kg and 2x 250 kg bomb load is way better than the 2x 100 lbs bombs of the one in Tunisia…
It’s a pity that the game is not 100% realism.
Tigers and Panthers are the worst tanks of the Third Reich.
They broke down all the time, the tiger is a square and the panthers had gearboxes from PZIII.
It is a pity? All tanks, aircraft, and in general each machine has its own problems, the T 34, for example, had a lot of ergonomics problems, it was uncomfortable to use, many variants were delivered without a radio, etc. It’s hard to put in mechanics that represent those historical facts without making the game frustrating.
And let’s not start talking about the ammo types or the distances, which in this game are waaay much shorter than the average of real tank battles in ww2 making everything we see in the game completly unreal
