About the weakening of FG42 and the related balance

Nice you can do the wiggle wiggle, great. Still has 50% more payload so kills more. You can kill a plane, sometimes. Great. Still pales in comparison to 50% more payload.

With ease. The Bf110 rockets have an explosive zone that is at least double that of HVAR and you can quadruple that at least if you compare it with the M8. So 6 insane rockets vs 8 good rockets.

Dead honest your bias is just stupid to argue with. If you really think the P38 rockets are even comparable let alone BETTER than the BF110 rockets you are having a laugh.

Compared to the contemporary that is equal. Could argue the 2 rockets are way better than the 2X50kg bombs but I wont.

They are EXACTLY the same as the rockets on the 110 - just fewer of them so obviously fewer hits - but hey hit just as hard, can easily kill tanks or complete squads.

There’s only 2 you so do actually have to exhibit a bit more skill to get results on every sortie - you cant just spam them over an area and hope to get as many kills as a 110 does - you know - things like know where they will travel relative to your sight picture, looking for targets from tracers, maybe even NOT letting them go if you don’t have a target, overshoot and come around for another look,etc

It still should be noted just how much better Wfr rockets are over HVARs.

HVARs had a warhead with 7.6 lbs / 3.4kg of TNT.

Werfer-granate 21’s had a warhead with 40.8kg of TNT.

The latter do effectively have the explosive radius of the 50kg bombs in game, which on the whole makes them better than either HVARs or 50kg bombs, IMO, given it’s easier to aim rockets and you still get the destructive potential.

The Werfer-granate 21 41kg warhead includes the weight of the casing tho - it only had about 19kg of actual explosive as far as I can tell - from the figures for the21cm Nebelwerfer rocket.

The SC50 bomb has 20-25 kg of actual explosive depending on which sub-type - whether cast or drawn body, etc .

but IMO the rocket is far preferable to the bomb for the reasons you state - accuracy.

And it is still way better than the HVAR - 2 Werfer granates have more explosive than 10 HVAR’s!

Anything other than FG42, MG34, MG42.

US is superior. It’s very clear.

Ask top tier users. If you don’t feel that way, your skill is the problem.

German users are quiet even in unfavorable conditions, so why do American users have so many complaints?

You’ll know right away when you start the game at random. Obviously Germany will take it.
Users already know that Germany is at a disadvantage and are not doing it.

Math says US is worse across the board for infantry weapons.

Tanks US has an advantage until we get the Panther devs have promised, which will decidedly give Germany the advantage.

Air is up for debate, as we can see from earlier posts here.

German rockets are frankly not comparable to American rockets.

HVAR is much better. Comparing it to a German rocket obviously has intellectual problems.

The fact that only the Ju188 on the plane can catch the Jumbo Sherman is already disproportionate.

That’s what happened with the 109 nerf.

Explosive yield of German rockets is 5x larger than HVARs per rocket and is similar to 50kg bombs.

It may be slower and arc more, but it is objectivity the more powerful ordinance in comparison if you can aim it.

Then buff HVAR like Werfer-granate.

You insist that german one is better.

Most of US guys think nerf. german also.

You are talking shit.

Let’s not buff HVAR, given it’s lower explosive yield is historically accurate.

We can compare HE loads, we can compare velocity, we can compare numbers carried - these things are directly comparable.

How are they not comparable?

After saying they are not comparable, makes a comparison.

Wow - well done - you’ve directly contradicted yourself, and done so with arrant (and arrogant!) nonsense!

Why? the HE load performs like it should, and the WG is not buffed - it is performing like it should AFAIK - it is the most powerful rocket in the game.

it carries almost 6 x HE load - how is that not better?

You are showing yourself hte expert in that area f’sure…

Are you an idiot who doesn’t even know irony?

I understand irony - can even recognise it - there’s none here - just you,covering the idiot side pretty well.

This forum is full of guys like you. Those kids are killing this game

If you think Germany is good, try Germany. Or try random because it will definitely take Germany. Why? Because people avoid it.

I didn’t say “Germany is good” - I said the WG 21 is the best rocket in the game - so that’s comprehension you don’t have either.

Good bye.

Hey boy.
Read it again from the top.

Dead honest with you, I’m comparing what these planes can actually do, and you’re comparing them based on rocket’s explosive radius? I’m comparing BF110 to P38J because they both can fight planes, and can attack ground targets with rockets. Both sides have such attacker planes, bombers and fighters, but only USA has a plane that has lots of rockets, lots of guns and bomb. And for anyone who’s gonna start with that nonsense “oh, actually the HVAR had yada yada kgs of explosive, while the Wfr rockets had yada yada”. Please don’t compare this to real life, as this is a video game after all, moreover, it’s still in beta, so we can’t really be sure if these rockets behave any differently from each other(game engine wise). I’ve scored direct hits with wfr rockets on a tank(top right corner of the screen showed my I hit the roof) and didn’t kill the tank, while I’ve nuked the area around tanks with HVAR and killed both infantry and tanks. So stop reading wikipedia and start playing the game, cuz weapons in game behave differently than weapons in real life.

don’t worry, i know how fg works as i have them.

since i’m at high level with the germans, i decided to play again with the americans to see if changed anything since the cbt.

Don’t forget to try jumbo sherman and planes.

You will know right away.
