First off., Let me start by saying my skills as a pilot are above average.
I have 10 days of battle time, with 1049 tank destroyed, and 328 planes destroyed. I am level 30 on both armies in the Normandy campaign. I have also used every plane on both sides in practice range.
I have spent hours trying to destroy allied tanks on the Axis side with the Axis planes. It is practically impossible.
On the Axis Side, The BF 110 G-2, with the wfr.gr.rockets (level 4), Fw 190 A-8 with the Wfr.gr.21 (level 27), BF 109 G-10 (level 24), you canNOT destroy tanks with them. AT ALL. Giving the allies a HUGE advantage.
Yes, I know, the JU-1882 A-2 with the 6x 250 SCS250JA bombs (level 18) can easily take out tanks. But I’ll get back to that in a minute. The BF 109 G-6 can take out tanks as well.
I have been helping my friend level up in this game, since he has a busy schedule. Using his account I am trying to level him up on both sides. There is a problem in this game I have addressed countless times. The tanks camping in their spawns. Protecting them from infantry. I can not do anything about these restricted zone tanks, on the axis side, until level 14. The only way to take out spawn camping tanks is with the planes. I have tried everything else.
On the Allies side, let me just make this short. With a little bit of practice you CAN take out a tank with EVERY. SINGLE. PLANE. Giving the Allies, once again, A HUGE ADVANTAGE!
Remember a bit ago, I was talking about the JU-1882 A-2 (level 16)? On the American side, level 16 you get the A-20G-25. Two different light bombers. Two completely different ways to use them. The Allies light bomber you can actually survive in the air thanks to the player pilot being able to actually shoot. On the Axis side? You have to rely on the AIs to not only shoot what’s behind you. But what’s in front of you as well. Once again, giving the Allies a HUGE ADVANTAGE.
What am I proposing? Buffing the Axis planes. Instead of nerfing the Allies planes. The tank camping in restricted zones will never stop. The only way to stop someone from doing it THE ENTIRE GAME, BECAUSE THEY WILL CAMP IN THE RESTRICTED ZONE SPAWN ALL GAME, is taking care of it with a plane. Buffing the Wfr.gr.21 rockets against tanks needs to happen. It’s ridiculous that they can’t destroy tanks. The JU-1882 needs to have player controlled front gunner. The ai gunners never defend you. You can follow an enemy plane behind them for 5 minutes and they can’t do anything.
I have hit tanks head on with the wfr.gr.21 rockets. They DO NOT destroy tanks. I have spent hours on the practice range hitting every tank from every angle. They don’t work. Only against infantry.
Thank you very much for bringing this amazing game to us. I will continue to enjoy playing it even if this report doesn’t bring any change.
