I’ve noticed some power balance issues that in some way make this campaign unplayable on certain lvls.
Let’s start from the begining…
At first we have germans outclasing USA a bit, game is hard for the Allies but still winable.
Then the germans have definitly better equipment, and at lvl 15 both sides being equal in terms of equipment and vehicles, this goes till lvl 20.
From this point, i can freely say playing Allies is almost like a cheating.
The only advantages Axis possesing here are MG34 and MG42.
Havoc is much better in my opinion than Ju, I can easly sacrafice 2 less bombs for getting better perfromce, bugged OP structural strength of the frame, not that bad turn possiblities and of course 6x12.7mm.
Also Allies spotting much more frequent Air Dominance on this lvl, let’s be real, from my observations P-47 is probably the best and most versatile plane in the entire game, that the Axis have no equivalent for.
Fw-190 is sluggish pile of shit, without real armmament, that in reality were of course presented.
The same goes for the Jumbo, using this vehicle i can single handedly win the entire game, sometimes depending on the map.
The other small arms still favouring the Allies, you can equip every squad with versatile, fully automatic weapons, being M2 Carabines.
I’ve noticed that with the equal balance of the skill of the players, starting that the most players are above 20lvl it’s impossible for the Axis to win with the conditions mentioned.
the only thing i could consider calling OP is CAS but that can be said about all of the highly dedicated CAS on both sides so not really a normandy issue there also plane DMs are still broken =/. Jumbo is unquestionable strong and needs to be replaced, not for game balancing but for historical reasons, by either a sherman 105 or a sherman 76.
you can do the same with the fg42 on the german side with the FG42 dealing as much damage as semiautos and LMGS while the fully starred m2 carbine does less damage than a fully starred m3 grease gun or any fully starred SMG firing .45 acp
Because you say that the US material is better than the German material and it is not. Not even close in some cases.
Good that you preffer that does not make it better. You use it for the bomb drops and the JU88 has 50% more drops. You can drop on 3 areas instead of 2. Makes it way superior.
Because those are the best fighters each faction has to offer. Why would I not?
Sorry what, you really think the M2 is better than the Fg? You are having a laugh right? We had countless posts on how the Fg is overpowered and the M2 is underpowered. I am hardly going to take you serious anymore if you really think this is anywhere near the truth. You ask me why I think you are biased.
Aye it is really weird in its controls indeed but if you manage to get that under control it is a really good plane. Still a fighter which is not a great slot with low impact either way.
From your other points, FG-42 is the best rifle in Normandy, MG-42 and MG-34 are the best MGs in game even though the BAR is fine especially for close combat. Ju-188 and A-20 are equal in general, but indeed the P-47 is OP as well and Germany has nothing as equivalent of it. Also Jumbo is OP and not even comparable with the PzIV.
Havent played Normandy since Berlin came out since CAS there is a true cancer. But before that i played Normandy almost exclusive and the WRs were kinda equal. Idk if this has been changed tthese days
Boo hoo - some babycakes thinks this is offensive - no doubt th’ pur wee sensitive soul will flag it again… so many princesses around these days, so few peas to put under mattresses!
lol - the only advantages…
lol - not me - the Ju-188 is way better - the 6 x .50’s are marginal and not really that much use at all IMO.
Yeah - when you can get to field it against hte P-38G’s taking up the strike slot…
They shoot me down well enough!
Well then you must the world’s greatest player 'cos damned if I can.
