Fairness on Normandy

Right now playing Airfield…

How come that Allies have Spawn Protection for about 5 Seconds when spawning, but Germans dont?

How come that Allies can have 1x P-38 Standard (equivalent to BF-110) & 1x A-20 airborne at the same time, maybe even a P-47 to have all 3 “Air variations” (CAS, Bomber, Fighter).

But Germany only can have either 1x BF-110 or 1x JU-188 plus a BF-109/FW-190.
Fairness…

For some reason, it seems to me that you missed two other major bugs in the OBT history that previously affected the winrate in Normandy.

  • American side respawned 100% faster than any other side in any other campaign
  • The German side had a 1 plane limit

So believe me, now is the best time for the Axis, regarding its history in Normandy.

if you are spawning on a rally point you don’t get a spawn protection no matter what side, while spawning on the main spawn will grant you a spawn protection

because the p-38 is classed as a fighter and uses the fighter pilots while bf-110 is an attacker and uses attacker pilot

No, this only came recently past 2 Weeks, because before I was able to fly JU-188 and see team mates with BF-110 & BF-109 in the air.

Man, I clearly see the spawn on Ver Sur and D-Day with my Tank, if shoot Allies there, 5 seconds spawn protection. Same map with Allied tank shooting into German spawn? Instant kills.

Well, then how come Germany can only have 1x Fighter plane in the air but Allies can have 2x P38s or 1x P38 and 1x P51/P47?

because one of the p-38 is glitched and takes up the attacker slot, i believe it’s the level 4 version

Also, once you crunch the numbers, arent the german planes superior?

for ground attack yes, with the except of the bf109g6 which had it’s 250 kilo removed

Planes

  • German cas is better.
  • German fighter is slightly better because the rockets on the fockewulf are easier to use than the 50kg bomb on the P51. They have same dogfighting stats.
  • Bf110(attacker) is way better than the P38(fighter). The rockets do 10X the dmg and the guns on the front can pen any tank from the sides.
  • JU88 has 50% more bombs than the A20 and therefore has 3 drops instead of 2 having a bigger kill radius. (907kg on A20 vs 1500kg on JU88)
  • Currently there is a bug when flying a P38G fighter plane US can not have an actual attacker plane in the air like the A20 or the P47. Without this the air war is Germany favored with a P38G flying there is no contest who wins the airwar that is Germany. (106kg vs 1700kg payload max, its not even close)
  • P47 is a good plane but with a lower payload than the A20. Little lower kill potential with a slightly better dogfighting potential (which is near useless on a attacker plane because of time wasted not bombing)

Spawning

  • Spawn protection is on everything and everyone and there is no known bug for it (as far as I know). If I shoot at spawned dudes they have protection no matter what side.
  • Rally points do not give protection on either side.
  • US has a faster spawn time (5 seconds) this should be fixed but I feel the devs dont fix it because Normandy feels 50/50 at the moment and changing something like that would scewer it in Germany’s favor and would warrant a buff on another place for the US.

What exactly are you complaining about? Germany has all the favours in the airwar and spawn protection is exactly the same…

Just add Me 262 A-1a/Jabo to balance P47

11

Just add BV 238 and let the ai be able to control the turrents. Should be balanced.

You get the Focke Wulf when? Level 27. Allies get at Level 27: P-47 with 10 Rockets and a 500 lb bomb. Thats not at all fair man.

JU-188 has 6x SC 250 with a filling mass of 130 kg. 780 kg in total.
A-20 has 119.7 kg filler, 478,8 kg, plus offensive measures such as 6x 12,7mm, you can actually get down a JU-188 with a A-20.

I must be retarded then, because I see P-38 G1 in the air together with a A-20.
Maybe it’s my eyes… maybe need to record a ingame Video for the almighty “Allies are horrible under powered with their OP equipment on Normandy”.

Focke wulf is a better upgrade than P47. Focke wulf pulls Germans equal on the fighters part. P47 gives US their 2nd best attacker so is not an upgrade.

% wise about the same so point still stands.

Why on earth would you chase a JU88 with a few mgs when you can bomb again for 30 kills in that same time.

That is the p38J. Same fighter pilot same plane with 5% less stats for movement. That is why it is a bug.

Never said that. Normandy is pretty balanced but Germans are better in the air.

16

You do realize the P-47 gets 10 rockets with almost the same killing potential as a a-20?

17

Yes I do realise that. As you said, almost. They can not fly at the same time.

More excuses than my ex.
You clearly dont have the FW 190, else you would be aware about the 20mm cannon bug and that the Engine in stock barely gets you over 450 while the stock BF-109 G10 gets you to 500 even without going for 110%. Aside that the P-38G is a very capable fighter plane.

Clearly you are a ego player, Mr. Rambo. Well, perhaps to help your team win? I mean, the JU-188 kills also team mates… or not? Am I mistaken?

Still unbalanced because of the 6 rockets, thats also with a skilled pilot or some luck 15 kills.

Played 5x Axis: 2 wins, 3 loses
5x Allies, Ver Sur, Airfield, DDay, 4x won. And I started at Level 5, now at 8.

and 4 “noob” tubes aren’t unbalanced???

Utterly pointless to discuss anything with people that play Allies on Normandy.
They will always cry just about anything. Its like some fetish.

Like imagine Level 30 gets added. Germany receives a Tiger E tank, USA gets a M6A2.
Clearly the M6A2 is no match for the Tiger, but imagine it, finally it would be somewhat fair since the M5A1 can kill a Pz IV H on 300m frontal meanwhile you can shoot with your Pz IV H on the Jumbo until you run out of Ammo.
