“Historical”

@KJW Developers of this game are anti Germans. So you won’t get Panthers nor Tigers for this campaign. Only 3 options - adapt, switch to allies or never play this campaign until they improve it (which I doubt lol).

I have lost plenty of Jumbos playing Normandy … In fact I actually prefer the standard Sherman because of the Jumbo’s gunner sights.
The Axis players that complain about it just need to git gud … There are still plenty of good axis players that know how to deal with the jumbo

R U joking? See this post: I just heard someone said that next tank unlock for Normandy is very unbalanced
Also no matter what campaign, German always generally get better weapons at high tiers.
Of course I know the way how to deal jumbo, Ive Finished every campaign in both sides completely.
Well but when I get in a Jumbo, i mostly had been killed by 188. Not the tank.
German Tank cant penatrate me, and Pumas even cant detour me in some maps like D-day or Airfield!
Jumbo of course need to be replaced.
Just another rumour m8. I’ll believe it when I see it from them. When they post it here.
If you are so good that you know how to deal with the Jumbo then why are you calling for it to be removed??
I don’t find it to be OP at all but pretty fairly balanced head to head with the PZIV.
Well As i told you, German users cant penatrate me when i am in a jumbo.
I mean, even if some good players may know how to deal with jumbo, Rest of them dosent.
Balance should fit Not only some good users, but for any other users too.
welcome to the group.
where allied mains dont want their toys removed or even reworked.
( thankfully, not everyone )
that’s where it comes to place the ““upcoming”” ( it has been too much since we are still waiting ) the panther.
so yeah, since people do not understand balance, i guess regreats will speak louder when they will face panthers with merely a sherman or m5/8s.
and i guess the jumbo can stay.
but luckely, through custom games, we will be able to remove the jumbo.

You cant design a game like this … the bad players should learn from the good players … that’s what it means to git gud …
If you read my previous post I did say that I prefer the vanilla Sherman to using the Jumbo. I am opposed to have the Jumbo in Normandy for purely historical reasons .
However I am not in favor of removing the Jumbo because it is “OP” … because it is just not …
As I have said before the good Axis players know how to deal with the Jumbo … I see it all the time …
sure bud, but in my custom games the jumbo will be the first thing to go.

Then wait for the panther from the Germans side, which the jumbo will only be able to penetrate in pixels, just as the Pz4 now penetrates the jumbo, and the panther will have much less trouble penetrating.
Then when you go to the forum asking for balance, the players for the Axis will tell you “yeah just go around it or aim better”.

If they let you do that I’m fine with it … But I don’t think they will allow you to take customization to that degree…
If they allow customization to fragment the player base and increase Que times then I will not be playing for long … Nor do I think anyone else will be as well …
As I said plenty of good Axis players know how to deal with the Jumbo … I’ve played against them and lost Jumbo’s …
I have also had a face to face shootouts with PZIV’s and lost because they were on higher ground. I have also lost jumbo’s because i was so focused on trying to pen a PZIV that I was flanked by a Puma or a PZIII.
As I said the good Axis players know what to do …
can you read my friend?
CUSTOM LOBBY
Set your own battle rules with the new room creation mechanism. Choose your mode, location, available weapons, participating sides, and even create scenarios in an alternate history. How do you fancy a battle between the Americans and Germans on Hermann Goering Strasse?
You can also see the rooms created by other players, their settings, the number of participants, and you can even join the battle at any stage of the battle.
‘Lone fighters’ modes will switch completely to this mechanic. ‘Lone fighters’ modes will switch completely to this mechanic. You will receive experience in these battles too.
if you can decide weapons, i’m sure it can be applied to vehicles as well. perhaps finally infantry modes only.
just like war thunder, i’m sure it will tells you if you meet the requirements or not.
which by the way, i’m about to reach the jumbo with the muricans, and i can fight without it.
i’d rather have a replacement than keep that bs in my watch.
The fact that “you have sometimes lost” does not indicate that there is no problem.
I’m already tired of bringing my face closer to the monitor, twisting my mouse sensitivity and not breathing, trying to fumble for a jumbo machine gun. If the jumbo rolls back and forth, interfering with perfect aiming, it’s almost impossible to destroy it.
I kill them sometimes too, but each time I feel that the odds are not in my favour and I have to try three times as hard as my opponent to win.
Actually, when Panther comes out, I’ll also say that sometimes I get killed by opponents and I’m sure many people know where to hit it. I will literally be repeating those funny words from the forum about jumbo to those who said them. “go around it”, “aim for it”.
One day the problem might affect you too, but I won’t want justice anymore. Although it’s even more about gameplay interest here. I sometimes just don’t shoot the jumbo and he shoots me, we roll back around corners and kill infantry because no one wants to waste 2-3 minutes on a horrible duel.

Yes I read it before and I take weapons to mean those you purchase through logistics. But as i said if they let you exclude certain squads and you don’t want Jumbo’s in your game … I’ll bring my plain Sherman and do the same amount of damage …
As for any comparisons to WT keep in mind that WT didn’t implement custom battles until years after Launch and they do not let you gain XP in custom games unlike the enlisted proposal …
So you may want to read a little better yourself …
situational awareness for the opponents is overrated 
balance never existed for some people.
but, you’ll get used to.
look at the bright side, when the panther will be out, we will be one telling to jumbo criers to " just flank it bro ".

Yes, yes, that’s what I’m talking about)
I’m generally coping with the jumbo, although every tank vs tank encounter prompts the words “oh my god again…”
However, I still play mostly infantry, and really like throwing explosives under his track.
Although even here there is a problem - the German sturmpistole does not penetrate the jumbo in the forehead and the side (the side is vulnerable only in the area of the track). The PIAT, however, penetrates the Pz4 in the forehead and fires twice as often, which sometimes allows one grenade launcher to destroy a German tank in a couple of seconds.
Hopefully Panzershrek will be added to solve this problem.
