A lot has changed in the recent update, but it’s full of Axis nerfs only. Let’s talk only about the invasion mode.
First of all, we are mostly defenders.
To do that, we can say that our infantry’s defensive capabilities must be stronger than that of the Allies. I’ll explain why
first. Even if the Allies lose their lives, they attack like a storm with a short respawn time of 3 seconds, but the Axis has a very long respawn time of 10 seconds, so lives are 3 times more important than the Allies.
second. The Axis forces must build positions and stay on the front lines to defend the point, but the silly FG current ammo is still scarce even with the ammo pockets.
ammo box? I know, but it’s inconvenient that the play of the axis is limited by the ammo box.
Incidentally, it would be pretty silly to tell the Allies to install an ammo box and stick it next to it. Don’t penalize Axis for gameplay you don’t play.
Also, the ammo boxes are easily destroyed, and the set-up times aren’t stupid for Axis forces who have to run nonstop for defense
I wish they nerfed it by moving the FG to gunner as a gunner only gun but keep the maximum ammo capacity, just like the BAR. I dunno why they put FG42 in a semi-auto category while in reality it’s an LMG just like the BAR.
to offset the fact that germany has unlimited tickets in invasion
if you want it to be accessed by all common soldiers and not assaults/gunners then you have to deal with limited ammo especially since it’s a 1 shot down
One spare mag is just ridiculous. Best solution right now would be to give it 2 spare mags and stop this endless nerfing. I don’t understand at all why everyone think FG42 is OP. It just middleroad between smg and gewehr42. Effective at close range due to mag capacity and rate of fire, less speed than Assaulter class, less effective at distances due to shitty sights and recoil. At the medium-long range i still choose Gewehr43 over FG42.
FG got nerfed. Because it was the best gun in the game by a long shot. It still is the best gun in the game but due to the ammo count you need extra steps to make it get the lable, “by a long shot” Even with ammo pouches it is fine tbh.
Bf109 nerf, granted that is a axis nerf. But now the Axis does not have two cas planes in the air at the same time. 100% justified nerf. Even now the bug that the P38g blocks any attackers from spawning is in the game so Germans have 100% air advantage still.
Tanks, with the new sights axis tanks are awesome. The sights are 3X and 6X which is perfect for this type of game. At the same time the Jumbo only got a 8X so its now completely useless for suporting infantry and is massively nerfed due to it. So I would dare to say that that the Axis now have tank superiority as well.
So that is a 3 out of 3 where the axis are the strongest faction in Normandy. Can you stop your japping that you are being threated unjustly as the Axis?
I’ll add it to this post.
It is clear that the game relies on the community for balance updates.
However, before updating, you should update with more detailed work, not only by viewing community posts, but also by doing your own research and aggregate statistics.
The current update method is too extreme. Deletion level, not nerf.
Go play germans and see … They have totally true with that nerf. Is time to stop nerfing germans. When STG44 drops out, what gona allies do ? Or you want fight only with bot germans ? Because FG42 gona shoot like smg and STG44 will have one magazine or what ?
Hard to spam arty on multiple attack vectors. Really easy to spam on and behind the point without counterplay. Without the arty spam its actually possible to defend
The bomb attached to the interceptor exists with one attached to give priority to the tank over the enemy infantry, as you know the US military has a much edge in tank fights. You just seem to want your jumbo to be invincible until the end of the game and not killed.
