I agree, this campaign is completely unbalanced and reason is simple … US players use one hand, Germans both xDDD
Come on mate, that’s totally on the pilots. Any pilot worth his plane will outplay and shoot down the BF-110 in his P-38 and dominate the skies.
I’ve been on the receiving end of squad-wiping US-rocket-strafes… but not often. And that’s on poor pilots and coordination. They can overwhelm the germans just as much.
Just as the others said with the Jumbo, please don’t tell me it’s unfair that only the americans get an 500lbs bomb? And, like, have you looked at the turret traverse speeds? Normandy, in the end, feels pretty balanced with games going both ways.
By the way, how come that I see 2 american planes in the air here and then? When playing as germans, it seems we’re locked to a single plane in the air at the same time. Not that I wanna complain, it… works out in the end.
You’re literally delusional.

The jumbo can have its cannon breech knocked out by the Puma and, playing as both sides Normandy, the whole “poor pilots” is complete nonsense.
The americans get the A20 with 4x 500lbs bombs, true. And 500lbs = 226kg.
The 188 gets 6x 250kg bombs.
And you’re not locked to a single plane, you can have a bomber and a fighter up at the same time. Every faction can.
Try and learn the game before making wild assessments.

In truth, OP, you’re right.
The US gets shafted in every single regard.
The P-38 has ground firepower similar to the 109 (which sports a 250kg bomb compared to the 2x 45kg of the P-51), but is outclassed by it in flight characteristics.
The A20G has firepower comparable to the 110, but it’s again outclassed in flight characteristics.
The 188 carries more bombs than the A20 of equal power (6 vs 4).
The Germans get better small arms, better tanks all the way until the US gets the Jumbo (which is kind of garbage in any case), better planes, better map balance.
Just try and put:
The Garand vs the G43. They’re the same, but the G43 has 2 more rounds max loaded.
The FNAB vs the M1 Garbagebine. FNAB wins at basically every useful range.
The M2 Carabine vs the FG42. The latter wins, hands down, every time. Better damage, better handling, better range.
The M1 Garand Sniper vs the FG42 II. The latter is better in every conceivable way.
The Lanchester, the lv26 unlock for the US, is comparable to the MP28, the premium SMG you get from the CBT packs (which also blows the M2 Hyde, the US counterpart, way out of the water).
The premium BAR for the Germans is statistically better than the premium US one, trading 80m/s muzzle velocity for 1/3 less recoil.
The MG34 and MG42 also completely outclass the BARs the US gets (the US doesn’t get the M1919 for unknown “”“balance”"" reasons).
The MP40 is only marginally better than the M3A1, but it’s still better.
Don’t pay too much mind to the grammatically challenged German fanboys that populate Gaijin games. GeRmAnY sUfFeRs.

But I said there that I indeed am able to outmanouver BF110’s and get them, I just said that the rockets are not balanced. I’m not telling to buff M8’s (that’s one way), i’m more like nerf WFR21. Either way there is something to be done with them.
Just as the others said with the Jumbo, please don’t tell me it’s unfair that only the americans get an 500lbs bomb?
You mean on bombers? Like, literally 109’s shred enemies with their 250kg’s when p51 can only dream of doing anything with their 100lbs, also who thought that giving US worse version of P51 is good idea? Why the 4mg variant one instead of 6???
Jumbo is literally only one thing going for US, while the Germans have the rest.
By the way, how come that I see 2 american planes in the air here and then?
2 Different types of planes, Fighter Planes and Attacker of planes, They seem to be different classes and should be able to be in air in the same time, same goes for bombers, I think it should work for german too.
+1, the bombs balance seem to be much in favour of GE, same goes for rockets. Also the guy “CampingOwl” or whatever seems to be this forum troll.
Yeah, That’s exactly what I feel when I play both sides. I seem to have easy time shredding enemy as GE, but when I play as US I have to basically struggle everytime, and usually im at top 10% of my team.
I just think that the balance in this Campaign is non-existent and some serious work should be done. And I’m not even hating here or flaming, just giving constructive feedback on what to change in the game. People here seem to try to tell me “h3h3 uS nOoB, GiT GuD, L2p”.

There’s plenty of people who ACTUALLY think that GER players are better or something.
It’s all bollocks, of course.
Yes, indeed the armament of the P38 is considerably weaker than of the 110, but instead the P-38 is at least in my experience much better in air combat than the 110. So as long as anyone has a plane in the US team, the 110 can be taken down easly.
No. Absolutely No. The M8 rockets of the P-38 CAN and are the best in killing the armor in the Normandy. They are indeed strange, sometimes they bounce off Pumas but they are much, much more easier to aim due their position below the cockpit. It takes time to learn but once mastered can easily kill any tank that GE can use in the Normandy campaign.
When it comes to infantry, yes they are weaker but not useless. You just have to aim them much more carefully and hope for locations the team gives you.
Indeed the Rockets of the 110 are stupidly powerful and do require somewhat of balance.
I asked my friends and still, I and neither have they seen 110 kill a single tank in any of the games that we have played. I don’t know, maybe I just haven’t noticed but 110 has much more harder time when it comes to aiming the rockets since they are positioned separately under the wing tips, meaning at best only 1 can strike the enemy tank at a given moment. The P-38 can hit both rockets in a firing salvo.
Let me guess, you still only play the Stuart? While it is true that Pumas are kind of stupid right now due to broken damage model, the US isn’t bad. Boy the M8 can kill Pumas with HE loaded, and the threat it represents on the D-Day against enemy Bunkers and MG positions is a force to be acknowledged.
now let me tell you a secret the germans bring puma and drive over the gaps from where we can enter the bunker and xd we cant enter it anymore

Yeah that’s really busted.

Yes, for another time I repeat that once I bring up my P38, I am easily able to outmanouver and destroy enemy 110.

Seems like I absolutely don’t have luck, I did get a dozen of direct hits on puma’s and they somehow bounce off not killing anybody.
I asked my friends and still, I and neither have they seen 110 kill a single tank in any of the games that we have played.
Another strange thing, I was easily able to take out Stuarts with 110’s Rockets, in one salvo.
[…] meaning at best only 1 can strike the enemy tank at a given moment. The P-38 can hit both rockets in a firing salvo.
Seems I have a lot more to master when it comes to using rockets on P-38, because using them on 110 is easy XD

Interesting, Thanks for info about next Tank
Overall thank you for info and feedback, very useful and helpful, have fun out there 
now let me tell you a secret the germans bring puma and drive over the gaps from where we can enter the bunker and xd we cant enter it anymore
I heard about it and it’s literally busted. Should not be able to do, for instances the wreckages in some distance of those entrances should just dissapear.

It’s very difficult to do defense vs attack right. It’s especially difficult to do it right while keeping the game somewhat realistic. Things are only made worse when only one side gets to defend (or even gets to defend more often). Here we get all three and under developers who don’t seem to know what they are doing a lot of the time.
I can only recommend playing as both sides while we wait for developers to hopefully make asymmetrical game modes more interesting. Or at least more bearable. You may learn some new ways to attack more effectively while you’re at it.

US generally wins in my games, in fact it’s easier for US than Germany, they have so many men it’s almost impossible to hold the beach.

It’s also bollocks that the Americans are hard done by in any way, shape, or form. Some people just need to learn how to play the game, instead of expecting everything to fall into their laps on a silver platter!

Yeah, like the Germans should.
They are completely braindead, but they still manage to win.
You’re right, I’m a dum-dum. Sorry.
Only looking at the numbers, not the scales… facepalm
Strangely, me and my group really don’t manage to get 2 planes up at the same time.
We’ve not managed up till now, since the start of the open beta, to cover each other.
Do u even know what Jumbo is???
Well, Ruins of Vaux and D-day map are blatantly favoring allies nigh imposible to germans win if team does not have competent players that know what they are doing!

If the Germans are brain-dead, and still winning, then that says a lot about the Allies!
