I’m strongly against nerfing planes or their payloads on either side.
Fact #1: AA guns are indeed weaker than they used to be.
Fact #2: current AA guns still CAN take down planes. But they usually require multiple hits to cause significant damage, so people think they don’t work because planes don’t instantly explode mid-air.
Fact #3: on either side, even when I’ve been dropping hell since half the match, hardly anyone on the enemy team ever bothers ACTUALLY BUILDING an AA gun and trying to take me out of the sky.
The power level of planes in Normandy may well justify the return of stronger AAA like the Flakvierling and an US counterpart.
And rest assured, I WON’T BE crying the day Wirbelwind is added (and oh man, will that thing be spammed).
Two Wirbelwinds taking both German tank slots would be easy prey for US tanks at their future BR, but an absolute nightmare for US planes AND infantry, so it’s balanced enough in my book.
Depends on the pilot. I had numerous matches where P-47 are being spammed but we still won the battle. But, there are also battles where P-47 being such a huge nuisance, I would put P-47 on the rate of 2 only if the AA guns are finally buffed.
From my somewhat limited time in Normandy campaign;
I think HVARs are too strong - they seem to hit like Tiny Tim rockets, which have much more explosive power compared to them, stats-wise, at least.
And since a lot of stats are in one way or another are related to warthunder, here are the links to wikis:
Basically, HVARs have such a huge radius, that it seems to me that they have the stats of Tiny Tim rockets, rather than what they are supposed to have.
I don’t believe that 3.45 or 4.52 kilograms of TNT can blast folks… 25 meters away from them exploding.
Give concussion? Sure, even when lying on the ground. But straight up destroying them is a bit too much.

I fly Cas myself, if someone bothers me with their aircraft i respawn and shoot them down. Quick 350 points, even if they bail out.
Personally love the 37mm bf110 in Normandy. Blows up everything from enemy aircraft to infantry in a strafing run.
Try it on the AI bombers, they comically explode. Love it.
I dont care at all, they are free XP points. When flying the Bf 109 you are basically invincible to all allied aircraft because of the good performance of the 109, if you know how to fly it that is.
One Bf 109 can keep air superiority for the whole match and make allied CAS useless.
Don’t jinx it: when releasing new things, devs now have to look at BR.
Knowing the KT might very well be at the very top of the food chain, and that the Henshel turret version might come too, they’re bound to give the new allies vehicle (Pershing hopefully?) A good shell…
