Question for German Players

I want to ask a question about CAS for German Players, specific Normandy Allies CAS.
What do you think about the CAS in Normandy? I would like to know how you feel about them (please don’t add why they bother you, please just respond with a number).

Feelings about Allied CAS in Normandy:
1: I don’t care too much.
2: It bothers me, but not too badly.
3. I hate them.
4. Remove them.

This information will be taken into account about a weapon idea.

I think they represent the Allied Air superiority at the time pretty well LOL.

But having P-47s wracking up big kill counts hasnt stopped winning on the ground most of the time.

Also the Bf110 is pretty great CAS and shoots down planes easy too.

p38 is early as fuck and counters every german tank with a low skill level and its not that bad at dogfighting

Ok thanks for your input!
But about your perspective when playing on the German team?
(its ok if you don’t really play much as the Germans, I could still use this info.)

Are you building up to suggesting the fliegerfaust??? lol

Its a neat bit of history, Id like it to see it added in some form or another. gold order or choice between AT or AA. Even though it never worked too well…

that is unless you played BF V and wrecked pilots lives with it lol.

Number 3 against premade or good players with a P47, the whole battalion will be deleted with the 10 rockets + 1 500 lb bomb with ease, your tickets will melt and you can’t do much because if you pick the fighter to counter him your team won’t cap or def the point

I think that Germans have equally powerful ground pounding weapons. Hell, their Bf 110 is basically an A10 warthog in disguise.
The problem is that the P-38 and P-47 are much more maneuverable while still having such ground pounding power, making them far more versatile than any German plane on offer. Germany has bombers, the Allies have fighter-bombers.

Some people never/don’t seem to understand/recognize that.

I understand that in alot of ways that Normandy Allies CAS is how it is to balance the situation on the ground caused by Tanks and whatnot, but having your entire team deleted instantly by some dudes P-47 with 8 HVAR rockets every other second ontop of the stuff happening on the ground constantly(Flamethrowers, Grenade Launchers, Artillery, Tanks, Etc) is just genuinely not fun and why I avoid the campaign as a whole

Allies have much better CAS, sure (Axis is still great, just not as good), but on the other side of the coin, #2 could apply for an ally player, regarding Axis tanks, which are definitely better at the moment. (Until… Pershing.)

All in all, good trade-of imo.

I maxed out both sides of Normandy so I will leave my thoughts as such. American CAS is annoying, but no moreso than German CAS in the hands of a good pilot. However, things constantly exploding has kind of become Normandy’s character as a campaign, so I am not sure taking it away would be good either.

As for a number score, I would say 2. Yeah dying to CAS sucks, but I don’t mind it due to the Germans also being able to do CAS well enough to counter the American CAS if the pilot is good enough.
