A key component to a successful game is balance and currently in this game there is none because all of the German gear and campaign progress is extremely OP and easy to get good guns and vehicles especially in the Normandy campaign their first plane is OP as f*** its VERY good for air and ground alike and has insane splash damage rockets dude shoots outside and hits me INSIDE a building 10m away and kills my entire squad and some more while the american PG-38G-1 which SUCKS mega ass you shoot rockets in the feet of the enemy squad and get 1 kill if you’re lucky ah lets not forget the retarded basically immortal Panzer IV where you have to be the american sniper to hit a lucky shot on the ammo rack also all their guns feels extremely accurate and good to shoot and also you get the FNAB-43 at level 5 which is also a very good gun out of the box doesn’t even need to upgrade because it kills people really fast and from good range and at LEVEL 9 you get the insanely good MP-40 which is basically a fully auto sniper with alot of bullets. Ah did I mention the MEGA RETARDED D-Day map where is a German free exp farm zone? Where they just have to camp camp and blindly shoot the mg-42 and kill 20 guys easy with one spray? Also there is like 100 of them in the entire map and if you’re lucky MAYBE you get a few smart snipers in your team and they can kill some of the lmgs before they get immediately killed off. Also don’t forget the Germans get a fully auto assault rifle with a scope at level 21 
and what the americans get? a stupid m1 grand with 8 bullets same mediocre weapon you get at level 8. M1 Carbine SUCK, M3 grease gun SUCK MEGA ASS, Bar? SUCK, Bren? SUCK, so yeah maybe you say: ‘‘Hey this is an historically accurate game’’ but guys come on, this is still a game people play games because they WANT TO HAVE FUN and if you’re not playing German you hardly gonna get any just an insane amount of grind thinking you gonna get a good gun soon but in the end it’s nothing but trash. So yeah, give the other factions some love too and put the thompson in the Normandy campaign at least at level 9 so there is some balance and we can compete with the mp40 because as of right now the game choices for balance in this game makes 0 sense or the devs just love Germans.
This map is unplayable on Lone Fighters as the Allies. I just tried and my team never stepped foot in the first objective. we lost, big surprise… In total their team only had maybe 20 deaths vs our hundreds of deaths. Never playing Lone fighters again.
With the MG stuff, yall know you can shoot them with one bullet and it will be destroyed?
Someone here hasn’t been playing the German side at all and it shows. 
And the more I decipher the post, the more it feels like someone hasn’t been playing the US properly too
I main moscow, so whenever I play normandy allies I am low level and basic gear, and no good troops.
Maybe it’s because I’m used to rifles from moscow but loved the Springfield, loved the Enfield, and once you get the garand and bren, you literally don’t need anything else lol.
bro bren and bar is 20 bullets and have you ever seen the recoil on those things? even the iron sights is bad in comparison german lmg have 50, 100 bullets you shoot two bullets with the bren or the bar your mouse goes to the top of you screen and I’m not even joking in the other side the german guns have 0 recoil and are pretty much the best all around last night I played german 10 matches straight just with basic guns and I won all 10 matches kar98 shoots so precise you can headshot a dude 10000m away easy with that thing and its not even a down its like 80% chance of being a kill while americans looks like their shooting beans m1 carbine you gotta put the whole clip in the dude and the recoil is insane. I’m not saying to nerf german just make the others good too.
They are good, calm down, look carefully on the weapon stats, try to play as both sides, try the weapons in a training tool and you will see that both sides are more or less the same. Most of the points you gave are objectively wrong, lack of experience or just you personal bad experience with a specific thing that others don’t usually share.
I’ve used the kar98 all the way to 26 in moscow. I know it’s good, and having used it so much I can honestly say the Springfield is just as precise and deadly. Love the sights on the Springfield.
As for the mgs, I haven’t used the bar, but I have used the bren, the mg 34, the zb-26 and the mg-13. I found them all very strong. Recoil is a non factor if you use them how they are meant to (mounted). They aren’t equal opposites, they do different jobs.
I will admit I don’t like the m1 carbine (cos hell let loose it was amazing).
If you tried to use an MG as an MG you already lost the game.
Wut? M1 carbine can 1 shot kill in the chest and its ROF is scary as hell if you button mash. its not that hard of a gun to use. M3 grease i have gone on long kill streaks with the germans having no chance. The bf-110 is easy to kill with one shot using the lightning. Only thing i dont agree with is the bf-109. That thing is annoying to face.
No game would ever be historically accurate because then they wont be fun. For example. The grease gun came out later compared to the mp-38. We get a m2 carbine which hardly saw any action in ww2. more korea. and the mp-40 was a really good weapon. Also, you shouldnt be facing a panzer 4 head on with these tanks because they are just out gunned.
Yeah - me too - I played a few Normandy games before I could switch out the tasks, but I haven’t spent a single ticket on that campaign, so when I start it again I’m at about campaign level 3 or 4 or something - just got 1 M1 carbine I think… maybe 2…
Bren is miles better than Madsen f’sure, and smoother than the DP IMO, and 10 rounds on the LE feels like you’ve won the lottery!! lol
I beg to differ sir. Mounting a MG is all about positioning. I will place myself in a position that cuts off reinforcements to and objective. I will build a sand bag to mount on back from a window to conceal myself, and then let all hell break loose. Using an MG in this manner requires more thought than running and hip spray.
I often just get the white hit marker when I blast people in the head and chest with the M1 Carbine, only to be one-shotted by their KAR-98. Then again, this game is rife with cheaters, so… shrug
Rule with m1 carbine is always double tap to be safe. Which is why I don’t like it because even if it is good in close quarters from the hip, the garand is just as good with added bonus of not requiring double tap at range
No it literally can’t. Base damage is 7.3 and a chest needs 10 damage to down the player.
With lots of experience on both sides of Normandy. I’d have to say Germany has better SMGs and planes (although they are limited since they are only allowed one plane), Allies have better rifles and tanks. As for LMGs, the allies are better for quick run and gunning while Germany is better against large groups. Also, Germany gets the FG 42, which is a better infantry rifle than the M2 Carbine, which can really only be used at close range due to ridiculous recoil and 7.3 base damage.
right now being accurate is being out the window. with the US for some reason is sporting the PIAT instead of the M1 Bazooka which saw 1 year of service before the PIAT was put into service.
Guys I don’t wanna be an asshole but I have hours and hours of fps games, CSGO, Warzone, Battlefield, Arma 3, Tarkov etcetc I played FPS games for most of my lifetime and I just know when I shoot a gun in game German guns just feel so more accurate and deadly than US even when It comes to planes, tanks etc that last Panzer 4 you get it’s basically impossible to kill while shooting at the front of the tank that and the maps just sums up to making the germans REALLY strong good luck trying to win a match vs a skilled German team, special if they know how to use their op arsenal.
I have played a lot of fps games too. And the Germans are just as “OP” as the Allies are in Normandy. AKA, some general balance issues, but nothing that makes them better than the allies.
