Hey,
I’ve been playing pretty hardcore past 2 weeks, maxed out normandy as Axis.
Before the patch, i had a blast, allies were winning 75% games, i was kinda crying about the jumbo being OP but played inf only and blasted it’s ass with exploes and lived with it if it camped from gray zone (this is key losing move from noobish players ;d)
after the patch the allies are a little bit retarded, not much has changed balanse wise (panther yeah, but these are rarely spotted).
Im top fragging 90% of games and winning like 90% of times as axis on normandy and at this point i dont want to start another campaign
(tunis seems not balanced at all, berlin ive heard is graveyard for axis)
This leaves me to either join allies in normandy or play moscov, any suggestions?
also we can discuss why the playerbase seems to be so ridic bad in this game, almost no1 makes spawning points, tankers suck and snipe from a far making their teams lose, almost no one flanks… to make it even worse, air battles are dull, sometimes out of boredom i hop in in my bf109 to hunt all aircraft, i sometimes even rule the skies for the whole map but it gives so little points there is little incentive…
I’ve unlocked the MP43 (STG?) and my goal was to have a lot of guys with 5 stars as ultimate goal but given LACK of resistance from allies there is no fun at all!!!
it would be better if axis had more invasion - attack missions.
Omer as a map SUCKS a lot, but yeah attacking there is fun.
They could actually reverse dday and la something map, imaginary counter attack by german forces vs allies who just went off the beach… it would be fun and fresh lol
moscow is pretty fun, and slower pace
berlin isn’t a graveyard for axis, since axis used to be just as dumb as axis players on normandy
and tunisia seems balanced in the early game from what i’ve seen so far and you can have a multinational squad. my main advice is to play with a friend since direct communication can often win games.
Honestly I wouldn’t burn yourself out of a single campaign keep switching between them to keep things fresh. It doesn’t take that long to grind the early levels.
I’ve playing all of the campaigns and sides up other than the axis on Tunisia I would play axis on Tunisia however the lack of Italian equipment puts me off and the German weapons copy and paste frustrates me.
Moscow has much slower pace as you don’t get semi autos and high cap lmg’s until much later on and Berlin is quite easy as you get semi auto’s and 50 round lmg’s early on and very good smg’s the Russian ones like the PPS-42/43 are by far some of the best I’ve used in game.
Then Tunisia is pretty fun as the allies as they get some great stuff.
Yes, don’t bother with axis on Tunisia. Crap smgs so they get creamed in close range. I have to build hedgehogs and spam molotovs instead of fighting enemies, just to prevent them from getting close to objective and overrun it. Axis tanks don’t have machineguns (slow and constant reload) and the HE makes a big cloud of dust but deal no damage vs infantry. It’s not even strong vs tanks. Armored car is good early but useless against big allied tank Grant. This imbalance will only get worse. My tactic will be to start gaming session with a game or two of axis. Then the rest of the night allied so I get easy wins.
I just wish the axis had the berretta m1918 and berretta m38 (20 round) instead of the mp40 and mp28 screw these German smg’s on Tunisia there already on the other 3. Hense why i havnt played axis yet i dont wanna grind for the same shit
Try a different nation. Dont get sucked into this “main” stupidity; play them all. I grew bored of grinding the same axis guns in every campaign so I started playing Americans and Russians which are all great fun and have now maxed allies in Normandy and Berlin. You’ll see after you play both most of everyone saying the other faction is OP have never played them
The more I play the more I believe its lack of any balancing and lobbies where players are either super bad or they are bots…
This seems to be the main point of wanting me to quit playing the game, played some moscov, yeah slower paced but still top fragged and im nowhere near good so i either play vs bots or playerbase is 12 y/o who use their mouse and keyboard for the first time ever ;/
not sure how to edit posts, what i mean the game would me 100x times better if games were nailbiters where everyone can win, not this crapfest of 10 games where these are stomps only to have one fun one
The problem is that this game is designed around the usual “grind to get better” philosophy… and lacks any substance once you’ve finished that grind.
Such games rely upon a constant influx of new players to keep the coffers full, and don’t actually care about people who have “finished” - they are no longer a source of income, and making meaningful content for them is even more expensive and brings in less income
This is pretty much the default for FPS shooters in my (very limited) experience - fast turn-around of players and money is where it is at.
Wargames that sell on content rather than character progression last longer and provide good actual gameplay - but are not very visible to the FPS audience, and probably too slow (eg strategic wargames like The Operational Art of War (now into about its 25th year I think), or Combat Mission (22 years running)
Yeah, I moved from Normandy to Moscow to get that STG sniper squad. Normandy is boring even though a lot of axis players returned there to have fun with Panther and STG. When I unlocked those and maxed them/full level slowly started to get boring. I don’t like one sided games.
Ya, Allies got much higher winrate before patch but still got some hard and intense fight to win. But after patch, when I leveling Axis, just like playing PVE game, most of the invasion game I played, the Allies even unable to get the first CP. And even worst when being Axis attacker, I always able to capture the first 2 CP with my first Squad.
majority of german players are just like war thunder.
let’s just say not very experienced, and not very open to improvement.
with this being said, if you are like me and many others, ( being part of the “”"“resistance”""" ) where you are capable to pull up a fight for them, it’s actually a good opportunity.
Moscow it’s a 50/50. meaning that sometimes it’s going to be normal, and others hards. there isn’t always an easy fight. especially since soviet players are more tenacious and have pretty much all the equipment. nothing that you can’t kill of course.
when it comes to Berlin, it is a graveyard for the germans. i’ll be honest, it’s more though than the others. But, once you unluck the panther mgs and fgs, it’s a cakewalk ( if your teammates are able to hold the point, which for experience, 2 times out of 10 matches.
and lastly, Tunisia.
i don’t have much to say outside the fact that i’m convinced germany there, is full of bots. or perhaps, the bri’sh ( luv ya all ) are just like the soviet in moscow, tenacious and more agressive.
It’s less than that now. Played yesterday Germans only in Moscow won 4 out of 10 games where 2 of those were close the rest was like not even able to capture first point. Having team mates who build rally points in attic, camping/sniping/not doing the objective, etc. Even though I went there to destroy that rally point in attic he built it again and made like almost whole team to be stuck there.
Yes, I believe that is true. Random matchmaker in Tunisia is guaranteed axis every single time.
All that while axis teams are not really performing well either which leads to the absolute slaughter where you can´t really do much as a player.
