Comparison of Normandy Campaign Guns

As a follow-up for my take on the topic for the Berlin campaign, ( Comparison of various Berlin campaign guns )

Hope this is helpful for people, and shines a light on certain weapons that are underpowered, (cough M1 carbine family, sten, cough) and why certain others are overpowered. (yes, your MG34/42 and FG42 are overpowered, here’s the math to back it up.)

best MGs in WW2? Overpowered?

Relative to the in-game performance of everything else, yes. lol

all Soviets subs and US M2 Carbine OP

NERF NOW

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

how can i cope now?

I mean, however you want? lol

yeah i want them to nerf everything that kills me.

Considering MKB42/MP43 would be introduced sooner or later germans would have even better infantry equipments no idea how they plan to balance that

I’m not sure whether they do plan to balance that, seeing the present state of things.

This is a really nice chart, good effort.

I do feel like there is a gap between spreadsheets and in-game sometimes, though. Maybe it’s just the feeling. The Sten looks pretty good on here but in-game I really don’t like it.

Edit: actually no, got two columns mixed up, it doesn’t look good at all lmao

How does the sten look pretty good on here? It’s the worst of the SMGs as far as the efficiency stats go?

Yeah see my edit, me being cross-eyed

lol, just caught your message too soon then, but yeah.

It really feels terrible, which is surprising considering how high up the unlock is

No joke. Check out my Berlin chart as well, but I personally think Normandy is in a worse place on the whole, though mainly only with allied guns.

Cool, thanks.

Have you considered presenting the data in various ways? For example, side-by-sides with each gun at the same level from each faction.

I mean, given I’ve got them listed by level on the tables here, you do get that so long as you can follow the table rows already, don’t you?.

Yeah this is why I majored in History rather than IT. I’ll keep my mouth shut now :joy:

lol it’s fine. Do let me know if you come up with anything else you think I should look into displaying / adding.

What’s the present state of things?

A handful of glaringly OP weapons for the Axis and Glaringly UP weapons for the allies amidst a slew of mostly meh-to-alright weapons?
