Explosion Packs making Bomber Class Useless

Panzerfaust and Bazooka need to be added in
I can’t believe they left the Germans with the sturmpistole and the Americans with the PIAT

Panzerfausts in Berlin are 10/10
Love them

Even the bazooka will have issues with alot of spots depending on what monstrosity they roll out with next. I really dont want to see camping tigers on Normandy shrugging off bazooka rounds at 400 meters

Tiger players are awful and would unironically pose no threat though so its okay

“Oh shit a Tiger”
Tiger is looking in the complete wrong direction trying to snipe allied spawn long after the spawn has moved and he’s been overrun

I dont think packs are op, I often play tanks and rarely get killed by explosive pack. If you get killed often with packs, you are playing the tank wrong.

Nah it’s not a thing with being killed by them often lmao - I just find them insanely better at killing tanks than I do the ranged options that the bomber brings. I rarely lose a tank to them myself but it just feels like it kinda makes the bomber class somewhat obsolete

I didnt say detpacks were OP. I said they keep tanks from being OP. Im a great tanker

yeah you mean the H3 magnatic anti tank mine an please dont take the demo packs away as a german main player in normandy the Sturmpistol is no fun at all it takes ages to take down a tank IF you can pen the stuart from the side and every tank aboce the stuart you can ignore because you CANT pen it with that shit

One of the suggestions above is to not remove the explosion packs but to make them limited to stuff like the bomber class or engineer class (which are often classes you can add into other squad types). That way there’s not as many of them and it makes the normal frag grenades more useful than they currently are.

reason why is for the price of a single mine you can get 3 det packs which you can equip 3 soldiers with instead of 1 and have a higher chance of dealing with a tank.

TNT is just OP item you relize of that at the first hour of gameplay, beign able to oneshot as easy as holding M1 until it throws itself and gg tanks like wtf?, it should have some kind of limit, like 1 unit per squad or something like that.

If they limit it to bomber class or something, they definely have to give the points back to add some of them to the squads, because they are weak rn and nobody would take them over other more useful class, is the problem that I see if they make TNT only able to be used by some classes

to be fair, if you stay behind the frontline, or behind your infantry you are 100% untouchable and extremely effective. and thats what i think Tank gameplay should be!

TnT is only op against rambos driving braindead into the enemy.
So I hope they dont change TnT at all, but give bombers more at options

Limiting deto packs to only 2 classes would make tank just op.

Also bombers are pretty good in berlin, mayby cause they have real anti tank weapons

It is simple… if tanker is a dumb monkey or charging like some sort of medieval warior into the enemy, then he deserves to be destroyed (saying that as a person who usually uses tanks).
Play tanks the way you should and you are going to have very different experience.
Provide support to your own infantry and stay in the back as you should = problem solved.
Plain and simple.

Yes you can stay back but you cant kill much from there, so… if u wanna get lots of kills u kinda have to gamble a bit. At the end of the day, squads is just an arcade mode have you have to play agresive to get more points :joy:

There are many ways to nerf detpacks. My preferred method, would be to severely reduce their throwing range. It’s unrealistic, how far you can throw them right now. Why bring grenades at all? Just bring dynamite instead. You should have to avoid the the tank’s vision and sneak close. That way, well positioned or well defended tanks are tough to kill by regular infantry.

Nahh, it all depends on the map layout. You can be very careful and get det packed just because map allows for easy flanks, like most of the Normandy maps. I usually play carefully and start driving over infantry only when no ammunition is left. Playing carefully just makes it less likely to get det packed but it doesn’t make it much harder to det pack you. I had people run into the grey zone to kamikaze, got det packed in the middle of the friendly infantry spawn with two squads around, just because someone was camping our spawn. It’s just too easy to be a rambo in this game and as everyone can carry a det pack, a single guy who just failed to defend/take point can just wonder around and blow up your tank.

Not true… tank that is well positioned is an actual threat to infantry and enemy tanks. Tank that “gambles” is usually a pathethic joke and practice target for anyone with TNT (which is damn well deserved if he dies because of it).
