Explosions in Normandy are out of hand. The last game I played as Axis I was in the objective and the explosions were overwhelming. Even laying down away from windows did not help, my entire squad died. Thats just one example of many: allied planes, WP grenades, artillery , etc make the experience frustrating. I know that explosions are a part of warfare but it would be nice to find a way to tone it down a bit.

explosions are fine, it’s the small ass objectives which makes them the way they are. arty range most often is bigger than objective itself, its ridiculous, it cannot be nerfed any other way than enlarging the objective points because otherwise explosions would feel either weak or rare.
everything would benefit from that, tank HE, bombs, nades, SMG/mg spam, unfortunately though game’s direction is to nerf everything to the ground and keep this game bombing fest worse than COD/BF and let’s pretend it’s for epic immersion purposes (which is not bcs bombing 30sqm is beyond any immersion)
in reality every game is just rushing a tenis court, there’s no depth into this.

The biggest issue with it right now is that Ally plane rockets appear to go through terrain, as well as have much more explosive power than they should. We have times where they break all fortifications in a building when they hit the roof. Also, Tiger tanks are dying without the rockets even landing close.

I call BS here. I have landed several direct hits on Tigers and not put them out of commission. I literally watched it with my own eyes.
Also, I haven’t seen M8’s going through terrain.
Fortifications I agree. But, I have seen it happen from Axis planes too. And Artillery.
Let me clarify: The damage from M8s are going through terrain, not the rockets themselves (even if they are we can’t tell). All too often we are not just in buildings but even bunkers that the m8s hit the top. Breaking all fortifications inside as well as killing all occupants. Its one thing if they manage to land it in the broken parts, but there’s no way that is what is occurring each time.
We had a game earlier today on Normandy, on the Omer map. We couldn’t even get Tigers out of the spawn because we were repeatedly getting killed by m8 rockets and 20mm cannons from aircraft. I thought I was safe when I got in a narrow alley but NOPE, the rockets hit the rooftops of the buildings and managed to fry me instantly. Up until today we had never been killed by the 20mm cannons but that guy managed to kill at LEAST 3 Tigers with them. We lost a grand total of I believe 10 Tiger tanks that game to that one player, not to mention other tanks and planes.
